Project Manager

Yardzen
Full-time
Remote
We’re looking for a sales-oriented, driven and empathetic Project Manager to join our team. This isn’t project management in the traditional sense. It’s part educator, part advocate, part guide — someone who can help clients navigate the complexities of transforming a vision into something buildable, beautiful and lasting. As the single point of contact from onboarding through construction, you’ll play a critical role in shaping the client experience and driving project success. You’ll be a translator of ideas, a remover of friction, and, at times, a source of calm in the exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) process of bringing a new yard to life.

What you'll do:

    • Be the guide. You’ll serve as the primary point of contact for a portfolio of clients, helping them move confidently from initial design kickoff through to construction. You’ll be their go-to resource, trusted partner, and advocate throughout the journey.
    • Own the experience. From answering early questions to coordinating final site walks, you’ll proactively manage all communication ensuring clients, contractors, and internal teams are aligned at every step.
    • Turn complexity into clarity. You’ll help homeowners understand design concepts, construction timelines and contractor options in plain, human language that builds trust and momentum.
    • Inspire action. Whether it’s gathering design feedback or encouraging clients to meet with a contractor, you’ll be gently but purposefully moving clients toward key milestones, and toward a finished yard they love.
    • Manage your pipeline. You’ll oversee the flow of projects from intake to delivery—QA’ing deliverables, ensuring timelines are met, and maintaining high standards for quality and brand alignment.
    • Collaborate with a core team of designers. You’ll work closely with your assigned designers to deliver exceptional, on-brand designs on time. You’ll celebrate wins, provide feedback, and elevate the team through shared accountability and coaching.
    • Own your market. You’ll be responsible for understanding the contractor landscape in your territory - identifying skill gaps, prospecting and vetting new Pros, and ensuring there’s enough market coverage and supply to meet client demand and close projects.
    • Drive successful outcomes. You'll be managed to a number, and achieving it means you've ensured your clients make it from design all the way through to build.

What success looks like:

    • First and foremost, high client satisfaction. We’re in the client service business and aim to delight. 
    • Thoughtful communication and quick resolution of concerns. Design is most successful with  effective communication. 
    • Fast project throughput and minimized delays. Our clients are on timelines and time is money.
    • Beautiful builds. Design is in service of a built space and you’ll get each client successfully through the process. 
    • A calm, confident experience for every client you support. Each project is unique and comes with its own challenges. You’ll be the rock.

What you bring:

    • Proven track record of driving sales growth while consistently delivering exceptional client experiences
    • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
    • Familiarity with tools like Zendesk, Podium and CRM systems.
    • Experience in client service, project coordination, or a related role.
    • Comfort working in fast-moving, dynamic environments.
    • An empathetic approach and talent for guiding and influencing clients.
    • A deep belief in the power of great design - and a desire to help others realize it.A background in landscape design, architecture or residential construction is a strong plus.
    • Ability to work during core business hours, ensuring timely communication and support for clients and internal teams.

What we offer:

    • Remote work, always: We're a remote-first company
    • Full coverage for you: 100% paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
    • Competitive compensation: Salary that matches your skills and experience
    • Support for growing families: 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave
    • Monthly perks: Wellness, cell phone, and internet stipends to keep you connected and cared for
$75,000 - $75,000 a year
