Intersect has been a fully flexible workplace since its founding in 2016. We’ve been very intentional about the way we do things. We are not work-from-home, hybrid, or in-office – we are any and all of those options! Deepening social connections and offering shared experiences is a cornerstone of the way we work. We connect as a team at our Team Week experiences four times a year and at our recently established Hub locations - SF Bay Area, NYC Metro Area, NY; Denver, CO; Houston, TX; Calgary, AB; and Toronto, ON.

We are currently looking for candidates located within 60 miles of any of the listed hubs to foster more in-person connections while maintaining our flexible remote culture.

Working closely with the Project Manager, you’ll help keep schedules, budgets, and cross-functional teams aligned while ensuring day‑to‑day project activities move forward smoothly.

You’ll act as the operational backbone of the project team, organizing information, tracking progress, and supporting communication across architects, engineers, contractors, and vendors. This role is well‑suited for a developing project professional who thrives in fast‑paced environments, brings strong construction fundamentals, and is eager to grow into larger project leadership responsibilities over time.
