We need an experienced project manager who can independently manage a client, lead a team, and has a good understanding of the specifics of design and communications.
In this role, it's important not just to organize the process, but to delve into the task, understand why and what the team is doing, ask the right questions, and, together with the team, find solutions that work for the client's business.
It will be an additional advantage if you are interested in sports, follow sporting events, or participate in some sport yourself and are deeply familiar with the subject on an amateur level.

- Are sufficiently experienced in remote client interaction.

Conditions:
