6. Ensure quality and brand consistency, conducting thorough checks so that graphics, signage, and environmental elements meet the highest standards and align with the client’s vision.
7. Manage project changes and problem-solve in real time – navigate tight deadlines, last-minute revisions, or unforeseen challenges with agility and a solutions-oriented mindset.
8. Maintain project documentation and reporting, including status updates, meeting notes, and post-project evaluations to continually improve our process.

Qualifications

1. Experience: 5+ years of project management experience in Experiential Graphic Design, Environmental Graphics, exhibition design, or a closely related field. Proven track record managing complex design/build projects for corporate or branded environments is highly preferred.
2. Industry Knowledge: Strong understanding of large-format printing, graphic production, and fabrication processes (e.g. signage production, material substrates, mounting hardware, lighting, installation methods).
3. Project Skills: Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously. Proficiency in creating schedules, budgets, and workflow plans; adept at using project management tools and software.
4. Adaptability: Thrives in a fast-paced environment and comfortable adjusting to changing priorities or requirements. Flexibility to meet tight deadlines and willingness to go the extra mile to deliver on client expectations.
