(New York, NY)

After10 is seeking a Digital Producer.

People take project management for granted. We know that you take it seriously. When necessary, you can crank out work but you’re also a great listener and patient with digital development. You must be qualified in all the expected areas, and be flexible with milestones and clients who try to move the goalposts mid-project.

As arguably the most essential member of the development team at After10, you will have a key role in shaping the company through the development of its core products. You'll have ownership (and responsibility) for heading up a wide variety of initiatives and design projects.  You'll get the chance to work with a team of designers, developers, account managers, and marketing people to create great stuff for both small companies and Fortune 500 titans. Naturally, we need everything on time and on budget…are you up for the challenge?

Beyond that, the job description is pretty obvious: The DP oversees all aspects of digital projects, including but not limited to: scoping and estimating, creating and maintaining concise project plans, budget tracking and reporting, risk and issue management, and intelligent resource assignment.

If you're a New York: great, we should meet for coffee!  Get in touch and we'll get the ball rolling.
