Korean Speaking Project Manager - Marketing

Marketing team is looking for Project Managers to help with the growth of its Marketing service line. Depending on your background, skills, experience, and resourcefulness, you may be the right person for the job. We value human skills and character as much as we do experience and proficiency.

Is this job for me? 👨🦰👩🦳🧑🦲

You are organized, speak/write professionally in multiple languages, can think on your feet, and keep your cool under pressure. You can multitask, follow many email threads in different languages, and at the same time keep an eye on our internal messenger app and the client’s messenger app and follow the progress of the tasks you assigned to our designers (located in different countries/time zones). You have an interest in games in general and a keen eye for their promotion... sometimes you even watch game ads on YouTube and appreciate the work that went into making them!

Sounds like you? Then this job is for you!

Roles and Responsibilities 🛠️🧪✨

• Communicate professionally with partners and clients, in multiple languages and in a timely manner.
• Keep a cool head. The project manager is like an orchestra’s maestro: you set the tone and pace of work. You must be aware of how your other fellow human beings are performing to make sure they can keep producing great work under decent working conditions.
• Propose new ideas and/or processes to improve the work speed and reduce the time spent on repetitive tasks.
• Jira management: Create and assign tickets according to schedule, add relevant and clear feedback, and move and update tickets according to the latest developments.
• Confidently communicate with all members of the company and sister studios.
• Plan and schedule work for team members, follow up on progress, and raise awareness to other project managers and/or clients if there is any delay or blocker in the work.
• Receive files, organize, and share them according to the standards set by previous team members.
• Quality check: the project manager is the last security check before sending any documents to partners and clients, so you must be able to quickly check any outgoing material for mistakes and ask for correction when needed.
