FSLA Status: Exempt/Salary
Reports to: Director of Sales & Marketing
What’s Your Brand?
You’re a problem solver with a great balance between organization, prioritization, and effective execution – a truly whole-brained project manager. Contributing to your team to support key customer needs gets you excited. You can comfortably interface with multiple departments to understand and organize those needs to get projects across the finish line.
You love craft beer and genuinely want to help the business succeed.
What’s Our Brand?
Since 2009, we’ve been crafting merch that helps breweries thrive. We’re born and raised in Portland, Oregon, giving us front row seats to the craft beer revolution and inspiring us to serve as your industry ally for everything branded: apparel, headwear, drinkware, and all the “wouldn’t it be cool if…” ideas you can dream up. We’ve been there, done that, and made the t-shirts to prove it.
We didn’t rise to the top by being just another supplier; we’re the merch mercenaries ready to get in the trenches. Our expert design team, online stores, warehousing, and fulfillment services are here to make life easier—and custom goods more profitable than painful.
From refreshing retail space, gearing up for festivals, or launching a new product in retail, we deliver custom goods that are on-trend, on-brand, and ready to succeed. From the smallest batch to the biggest order, nothing gets us more excited than raising a glass to our customers’ success.
Core Responsibilities
This role will work together with Key Account Managers & Designers to take any project from concept to completion. You will be asked to coordinate sales quotes, sales orders, purchase orders, design concepts and big picture proposals. An amazing Key Project Manager will need to effectively communicate information between several departments and carry projects across the finish line with style and grace. Being seriously organized is necessary. Ensuring your Key Account Team meets promised timelines will be a daily task, and you must be able to independently attack and solve problems in your sleep. Must play well with others!
Minimum Qualifications
Our Mission and Values
We strive to help our brewery and beverage friends thrive by crafting remarkable custom goods that are profitable instead of painful.
GIVE A DAMN
We give a damn about the success of our co-workers and our customers. This is not just another job. We hustle harder and out-care our competition. Every client should feel like a large client.
EARN TRUST
Trust is not given, it is earned. This starts with the quality of our interactions and extends to our accountability. It’s true internally with our teams and externally with our customers.
DO IT BETTER
We believe there is a Right Way to do things and with our first two values as our compass we seek to Do Better. This is a process of constant improvement in everything from workplace culture to goods and services, to the impact on the communities we serve.
TAKE PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP
We hire smart people and empower them to make decisions and act with our values in mind. Every voice can impact the success of this business and we’re stronger, faster, and more creative as a team.
Supervisory Responsibility
This position currently has no direct reports.
Work Environment
Due to the nature of the work, this position is required to report the Portland office for work duties. Travel may be required up to 5% of the time.
Education
Preferred bachelor’s degree.
