Organising the chaos: How we manage a flexible project scope on a fixed budget - Behind the Screens #3

CookiesHQ are looking for a new Project Manager, so this week Nic and Nat sit down to talk through how we approach new projects and what skills a person might need for the role - offering an insight to the inner workings here at Cookies.

From initial chats over coffee to a successful product launch and all the stages in-between, they chat through the CookiesHQ project management and client on-boarding process. They speak about the importance of communicating with clients in an openly and honestly, the value placed on truly understanding a business’ objectives, and how we cope with any technical hiccups along the way (we’re looking at you, Google!).

They explain how chemistry is key when starting a new project as once we start building we’ll be in near constant communication with a client, so there needs to be a strong relationship in place. The ability to communicate confidently and effectively in a fast-paced environment is vital for such a central role.

We believe the variety in our day-to-day work is what makes working at an agency so exciting, but it does mean a project manager will need to be able to keep an eye on multiple projects simultaneously - wearing many different hats. Or, as Nat puts it, any potential Cookie will need to be comfortable with ‘organised chaos’.

If you’re interested in joining us and would like to find out more about our Project Manager or Developer roles, you can get in touch with Nathalie directly at [email protected].

This is the third in a series of Behind the Screens episodes in which Nic and Nathalie will reflect on everything going on at CookiesHQ and look ahead to what’s on the horizon.
