Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a Project Manager Intern to join our team. Skills are important (and you can read about those below), but so is chemistry.
Our ideal intern candidate will enjoy working in a collaborative team environment and have an interest in understanding technical details in order to better explain them to non-tech people. They should approach their work with a self-starter attitude and with excellence as their goal.
