Shift Lab is a tight-knit team of product designers and creative technologists. We use a variety of languages and frameworks to collaborate with startups, nonprofits, corporations, social impact brands, cultural institutions, and more. We often collaborate closely with top-tier international design agencies.

Our modern, bright, open office space is located in New York City, but our team is everywhere. We empower and trust our people, providing ample opportunities for career growth and work frictionlessly across all US time zones.

Project Manager

Qualified candidates are:

• An early to senior career candidate

• Of the belief that there is no detail too small

• Critical, but open when it comes to Scrum vs. Kanban

• Kind, personable, and patient

• Here to support engineers, but aren’t afraid to use tough love

• Going to tell a HIPPO that they are derailing your planning session

• Aware when a sprint is going well and when it needs to end

• Highly allergic to any and every blocker

• Opinionated about our Jira configuration

• Cognizant of expectation-setting, internally and externally

• A believer in story points and team velocity

• A seeker of insight into sprint efficiency and dev effectiveness

• Going to call retrospectives, even when things are smooth sailing

• Aware that healthy collaboration doesn’t happen by accident

At Shift Lab, we craft beautiful, user-driven experiences, connecting the dots between client ambition, conceptual design thinking, and thoughtful code. From extending a creative director’s vision in a digital product to reinventing systems that improve our quality of life, we create innovative user experiences and technical solutions.

We are strongest when we collaborate with creative partners and business leaders who value transparency, iteration, and craft. We’re for those who seek a team of creative, but technical, experimental yet focused; esoteric digital experts who know how to explain things.

Our projects are typically bespoke to the creative or cultural technology challenge at hand. An agile development process keeps us open and responsive to every evolving user need. We’ve kept our headquarters in New York City, but our team is fully remote across all US time zones.

We encourage those from underrepresented communities — women, people of color, LGBTQIA+, immigrants, those with disabilities, and people at all the intersections in between — to apply. Even if you don’t think your current skill set checks every box below, but this role seems to align with your strengths, we want to hear from you.
