About Us

DarkMatter is a creative agency that builds brand impact through sharp strategy, compelling storytelling, and execution that delivers. From campaigns and content to design systems and digital experiences, we help brands stand out and stay relevant.


The Role

We’re looking for a Project Manager who can confidently drive the delivery of creative and strategic work across a variety of client accounts. You’ll play a central role in coordinating projects—briefing teams, managing timelines and budgets, and ensuring that every piece of work is delivered on time and on point.

This is a highly collaborative role where you’ll work closely with strategists, creatives, producers, and account managers to keep projects moving smoothly from start to finish.


Key Responsibilities

  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously from brief to delivery, ensuring timelines, budgets, and expectations are met
  • Develop clear project scopes, schedules, and task assignments in collaboration with team leads
  • Coordinate between creative, production, and client service teams to ensure seamless communication and workflow
  • Track progress using project management tools (we use ClickUp + Memtime) and identify potential risks or delays early
  • Maintain documentation and status updates, keeping all stakeholders aligned
  • Facilitate feedback rounds and support the team in delivering high-quality work on deadline
  • Uphold process and encourage consistency, while adapting workflows to suit project needs


What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years’ experience as a project manager within a creative, marketing, or digital agency
  • Proven ability to manage fast-moving projects with multiple stakeholders and moving parts
  • Strong understanding of creative workflows, especially in content, design, and campaign environments
  • Experience using modern project management tools (ClickUp, Asana, Trello, etc.)
  • Meticulous attention to detail, excellent time management, and clear communication skills
  • A calm, solutions-oriented mindset and the ability to stay focused under pressure


Nice to Have

  • Experience working in video production, animation, or digital campaigns
  • Familiarity with Discord or other real-time team tools
  • A background or interest in marketing, branding, or communications strategy

We’re a growing team that celebrates creativity, collaboration, and clarity. Our culture is built around trust, feedback, and continuous improvement. We offer flexible work setups, supportive leadership, and space to grow your skills while working on meaningful, impactful projects.
