Project Manager

Who Are You?

You’re highly organized, proactive, and great at keeping people and projects moving in the same direction. You enjoy taking a project with multiple moving parts and turning it into a clear plan, making sure everyone understands what needs to happen, who’s responsible, and when it needs to be done. You can manage competing priorities, spot potential roadblocks, and work through challenges without losing sight of the details or the bigger picture.

You’re also a strong communicator who cares about the client experience. You build trust by listening, setting clear expectations, and following through. You’re comfortable asking questions, having honest conversations about timelines and scope, and working with different personalities to find solutions. Experience in website projects or digital marketing is an asset, along with a willingness to learn, openness to feedback, and a collaborative approach to your work.

What's the Role?

Reporting to the Team Lead of Project Management, you’ll work closely with clients and our multidisciplinary Websites team to define requirements, develop project plans, and manage scope, timelines, and budgets.

You’ll be the primary point of contact for clients throughout their projects, keeping them informed, answering questions, and guiding them through key decisions. Internally, you’ll coordinate tasks, track progress, address bottlenecks, and ensure the team has the information needed to deliver high-quality work. You’ll also contribute to improving our processes, bringing greater clarity and efficiency to how we manage projects and support our clients.

Who is POD Marketing?

POD Marketing is a full-service agency that works across marketing, consulting, and HR to help clients solve real business challenges. Behind that work is an incredible group of people. We put just as much care into supporting our team as we do our clients, creating an environment where people feel trusted, supported, and inspired to do their best work.

At POD, culture isn’t about perks (though we have those too). It’s about how you feel at work: accepted for who you are, encouraged to grow, and surrounded by people who want to see you succeed. That approach has earned us multiple awards, including recognition as one of Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures.

What's in it for You?

At POD Marketing, we work hard, have fun, and genuinely support each other. We believe people do their best work when they feel valued, trusted, and balanced; and we’ve built an environment that makes that possible.

You’ll enjoy three weeks of paid vacation, twelve flex days, a Passion Day to spend however you choose, and a company-wide MeMonday to prioritize mental health. We offer a thirty-day remote work policy for when you need a change of scenery, twenty-six hours of paid volunteer time each year, and a comprehensive benefits package that includes health, dental, vision, and spending accounts.

Growth and development are also a priority at POD. You’ll have access to our mentorship program, our in-house leadership development program, DiSC communication training, and ongoing learning opportunities designed to help you grow your skills and career. You’ll also have regular one-on-one check-ins, quarterly performance conversations, and a culture of continuous feedback that keeps you supported and clear on expectations.

Our downtown Calgary office is bright, modern, and stocked with good coffee, snacks, and great people. We offer discounts with local vendors and a culture that’s collaborative, energetic, and built on trust and respect.

How to Apply

At POD, we believe “that most job requirements and conceptual knowledge are easily trainable. But you can’t teach drive, ambition, or passion.” (Take a look at this article, Finding Your Unicorn, written by our President, Kevin Wilhelm). Our hiring managers consider alignment with our core values and passion for our company culture to be as valuable as experience and education.

Finding the right fit is important to us, and we put real care into reviewing applications. This is your chance to show us who you are: your voice, your attention to detail, and your excitement about joining the team. Take a few extra minutes to help us see why this opportunity is the right fit for you.

We often see strong candidates miss out because of preventable issues like missing cover letters, referencing the wrong job title or company, or submitting unedited AI-generated content. We encourage the use of AI to streamline your process, but your application should still reflect your voice and accuracy. If this role excites you, let that show in how you apply.

A few tips to stand out:

• Submit an up-to-date resume that highlights the skills and experience we are looking for

• Include a personalized cover letter or a video cover letter (one is required, both are not necessary)

• If you choose to submit a video cover letter, keep it short and engaging (under 2 minutes, please!)

• Share why this specific role excites you and how your background connects to it

• Make sure your application is error-free (especially the basics like company name and job title)

• Answer the application questions with intention. Your responses don't need to be long; quality over quantity matters!

• If you use AI, review and edit so it sounds like you and is factually correct (no - passion and innovation are not our core values, no matter what ChatGPT tells you)

• Review the posted salary range before you apply and make sure it aligns with what you’re comfortable with

Always apply through our website. We will reach out by email if you are selected for the next step. Either way, we appreciate your interest and the time you spent getting to know us.

At POD Marketing, we believe in creating an inclusive work environment, which is why we’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We consider and evaluate all qualified candidates based on their qualifications without discrimination based on race, colour, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected characteristics.
