Our projects are seriously fun and we need talented Project Managers to run them. We build software and hardware for superb clients like Lululemon, Enbridge and Sphero, to name just a few. As a PM at Finger Food, you'll get the chance to work on a number of exciting projects that cover the realms of Augmented and Virtual Reality, and a range of custom-made web and mobile applications.
You'll be expected to navigate each project through the entire development cycle- tracking and communicating priorities and deadlines and managing all resource allocation. You will be a major contributor, and accountable for projects that drive the whole success of the company.
We'll expect you to already have a serious understanding of how mixed reality, mobile and web software works. You'll be a solid team motivator and know how to consistently execute against your objectives - within budget and time constraints, of course!
