Here is a quick intro:
Start Date
As soon as we find the “perfect” person.
Description
This is a senior-level position at a small digital marketing agency that works on a wide range of projects in web and app development, and digital marketing. In this role, you are expected to manage the scope, budget and timelines of multiple projects at a time. Websites that we deliver range from simple marketing websites to large-scale web applications that integrate with our clients’ business systems.
Responsibilities
We’re looking for a highly organized and detail-oriented individual to take ownership of assigned projects and manage client and team expectations.
Your responsibility is to make sure we deliver websites and apps on time, according to agreed upon specifications and budgeted hours. You will be the central contact point for clients, to clearly communicate status and manage their expectations. We have long-term engagements with our clients, based on mutual trust, so it’s important that you continuously nurture the client relationship.
We don’t have developers or designers in-house, so you will also work with agency partners and vendors to make sure the project runs smoothly and that we can deliver on the promises we make to our clients.
To be successful in this role, you’ll have to fully understand the requirements of the project and be the “go to” for any questions about requirements, approach to development, branding, etc. You don’t have to be a graphic or UX designer, and you don’t have to be a web or software developer, but you must have a good enough understanding of all relevant areas to be able to manage the specialists and communicate effectively with the client.
You will manage the full scope of the project including the financial budget. This includes documenting of any change requests and communicating clearly to all parties involved. We have project management tools in place and you’ll be responsible for keeping requirements documentation and project management tasks up to date. We expect you to follow procedures and to help us improve on them where relevant.
You report to Management on a regular basis on the status of projects. You proactively resolve any issues that come up, and get support as and when you need it. Ultimately you need to free up Management from Project Management responsibilities as much as possible, but also make sure you involve them in time, before any issue gets out of hand.
Work Environment and Team Culture
Even before the pandemic, we chose to close down our office and work remotely. We have been operating a Virtual Team and Home Office ever since, and we’re not looking back! All team members work remotely and manage their own time.
This means that you’ll be working independently, and will need to have a dedicated office space available to you at home which has the required equipment, such as a computer, desk, chair, phone line, and internet connection.
Our culture is very entrepreneurial and we plan to keep it that way. We believe that we have found a great balance between standardized procedures and an agile approach to our work, which gives our clients the best results. This balance is constantly adjusted as our team grows but the entrepreneurial spirit remains.
We have a very engaged team, who have fun collaborating together, whether internal or together with our design/development partners. We have weekly online meetings, and each project will also have it’s own scheduled online meetings. Full team meetings include Management, Marketing Team members and Development Team members. In-person meetings may happen if your location allows it, but it will be very infrequent.
Work Days
Regular business hours of operation for our customers are Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5pm EST. We will expect that you are largely available during these hours, that timely communication happens, and that deliverables are successful.
Other than that, we do not and will not monitor your detailed activity, when you work, or where you work! We will simply expect that your pre-defined goals are met, or that they are renegotiated beforehand.
We trust our team to manage their time so that we don’t have to, and in such a way that our projects are successful and our clients are happy.
Compensation and Benefits
With the entrepreneurial spirit in mind, we believe that if Mawazo does well, then the entire team should share in that success! Therefore we are offering you:
- an annual starting salary between C$75K and C$90K per year: Initially compensation will completely depend on your skills and experience. We pay for performance, so there will be regular performance reviews and we will adjust your salary in accordance with your responsibilities, independence and overall performance.
- an Incentive Plan Target of 10% of base salary for this role, given the impact you made on overall business results: We assess Company performance every year to establish a Bonus Pool. As part of your performance review, we will together determine your accomplishment of key objectives. This assessment will be used to determine your achievement of the target bonus.
- enrollment in our Group Health Benefits programme: After your probation period of 3 months you will be enrolled in the programme which covers your family. It also has a life insurance component.
- a referral fee of 15% of any new business from new clients you bring into Mawazo: You just need to make the introduction, and if the sale is made, you will earn the commission!
Vacation
At Mawazo we value work-life balance, so we recognize the importance of time off work. Our official vacation policy is that after your probation period vacation days are flexible. In practice this means that we rarely deny requested vacation days. We just expect that you are meeting your planned goals and objectives, within the team and the business.
