Descripción del empleo

Domestic Data Streamers (DDS) is a team of 30+ creatives, technologists, and researchers who turn data into public experiences to spark conversations and debate. We work across 50 countries with museums, cultural institutions, companies, and international organizations like the UN. For us, data isn't just numbers, it's a living part of how people see, feel, and act.

THE ROLE: FULL‑TIME This role sits at the heart of how DDS brings digital projects to life. You’ll be the connecting force between our digital team (designers, developers, researchers), clients, and our creative vision. You’ll manage complex digital projects from concept through launch—platforms, data visualizations, interactive installations, creative websites that break the usual molds. We’re looking for someone who can speak both human and tech, who knows how to keep a team energized through long development cycles, and who understands that our work isn’t just about delivering on time, it’s about creating experiences that matter.

Project Leadership

• Maintain oversight of multiple active digital projects, serving as the go‑to resource for your team.
• Work with team leads to ensure projects meet DDS standards for innovation and impact.
• Help clear blockers and solve challenges during project execution.
• Lead weekly planning sessions and participate in Friday morning project updates.

Project Planning & Execution

• Create realistic project schedules that account for iteration and complexity.
• Document decisions, changes, and learnings throughout the project.
• Manage resource allocation across different project phases.

Client & Stakeholder Management

• Provide regular, clear updates on project status.
• Work with account managers on scope, budgets, and new opportunities.
• Share knowledge across different project types (physical installations, AI projects, etc.).
• Coordinate resources for hybrid projects.
• Support digital components of physical installations.

Qualifications

• Minimum 3 years managing digital projects with significant front‑end work (platforms, visualizations, dashboards, creative web experiences outside standard templates).
• Fluency in English (spoken and written); Spanish and/or Catalan a strong plus.
• Network of freelance developers and specialists you can bring in for projects.
• Experience in creative agencies, cultural institutions, or research‑driven organizations.
• Background in or strong understanding of data visualization projects.
• Experience with accessibility testing and inclusive design practices.

Project Delivery

• Projects completed on time, within scope, meeting quality standards.
• Useful, organized project records and learnings.

People come before budgets and deadlines. Each project is something new, often something we haven’t done before. At DDS, managers experience the most uncertainty and pressure, from start to finish of projects. On complex projects with many tasks, you need to assign roles clearly and not take on team responsibilities yourself. Know how to motivate each team member, building the feeling that they want to do the project, not that they have to do it.
