Apologies for x-post.
This is a *hot* role---the client is VERY ready to hire---could you please
pass this around your trusted networks to help get the word out + give a leg
up to your colleagues (and my client)? Thanks!
---------
Seeking a JR/MIDLEVEL PROJECT MANAGER with 1-3 years experience and at least
6+ months digital experience----the great thing about this job is that
they'll train someone who's heavier on the traditional/print side who's got
at least 6+ months exposure to digital, so it's a great foot in the digital
door.
Approx one hour ride on the MetroNorth to the green trees and chirping birds
of CT---flex hours for commuter from the city, and no car needed---office is
very close to train station. Great opportunity to meditate in the am + pm or
read that latest Vanity Fair and get all the Hollywood goss. :)

preferably some agency experience who has experience with larger site
builds.
