Carex is partnering with a financial services industry partner to identify a Project Manager to lead the planning and coordination of a small-scale production studio buildout within an existing office space in Washington, DC. This is not a traditional facilities project—oversight is led by the Creative Team, with Facilities serving as a consultative partner. The Project Manager will play a pivotal role in guiding this effort from the design and stakeholder alignment phases through construction readiness. The ideal candidate brings construction project experience with a strong understanding of AV systems, design sensitivity, and stakeholder engagement. This role will require flexibility, high-touch communication, and a hands-on project management approach to ensure smooth execution with minimal disruption to the business.
What You’ll Do
-
Lead project coordination across space planning, stakeholder engagement, and vendor interactions from design through construction prep.
-
Manage all aspects of the project lifecycle including scope, schedule, and stakeholder impact while aligning with internal Creative Team leadership.
-
Partner with the project lead and core Facilities members to integrate space needs and technical design priorities.
-
Oversee vendor coordination and maintain productive, positive working relationships.
-
Ensure all project documentation—including meeting recaps, decisions, and action items—is detailed and consistently maintained.
-
Provide support in maintaining the stakeholder engagement strategy, with a focus on minimizing operational disruption.
-
Monitor risk and manage stakeholder expectations with foresight and empathy.
-
Contribute to financial forecasting accuracy while supporting a clear view of project metrics.
-
Adapt quickly to established team rhythms and weekly oversight check-ins.
-
Participate remotely during early design phases with flexibility to be on-site if extended beyond the design phase into construction.
-
If extended past the initial phase, serve as on-site liaison during construction for jobsite visits and contractor coordination.
What You’ll Bring
-
Demonstrated experience managing construction projects; production or broadcast studio background highly preferred.
-
Strong understanding of audiovisual systems and space planning dynamics.
-
Keen design sensibility with ability to interpret and support creative vision in a physical buildout.
-
Proven ability to deliver projects on time, on budget, and within scope.
-
Experience working with not-for-profit organizations or associations is a plus.
-
High financial acumen, with the ability to support and inform project forecasting.
-
Strong vendor management skills with a collaborative, yet persistent approach.
-
Excellent documentation habits and detail orientation.
-
Superior communication skills, particularly in engaging stakeholders with empathy and foresight.
-
Availability of approximately 20 hours/week through December, with some flexibility week to week (10–24 hours), averaging no more than 20.
-
DC-based candidates preferred; remote work feasible during design phase. Jobsite visits expected if project is extended into 2026.
