Interact, a branding and packaging design agency, is located in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. Our mission is to partner with brands ranging from bright-eyed startups to courageous industry vets to create brands that create consequence in the food and beverage industry. We pride ourselves on culture and creating a quirky, egoless, and welcoming environment in an open space with a tight-knit team (and plenty of snacks.)

Responsibilities:

• Work closely with our creative and account teams to drive forward projects and hold us accountable to timelines, budgets, and scope. 

• Onboard new client projects: Build out timelines and budgets, resource project teams, participate in client kickoffs, and set up projects in Basecamp3 and Harvest.

• Be responsible for resourcing and bandwidth: Maintain the studio calendar, resource project teams, monitor the workload and morale of our internal creative team, assign outside resources as necessary, and enforce time-tracking compliance.

• Manage or oversee all internal projects (e.g. coordinate website updates, monthly newsletter creation, office events, biz dev pitches, etc.)

• Be the keeper of culture: Celebrate birthdays and anniversaries, coordinate team events and ad hoc morale-boosts, onboard new employees, and generally help keep this the raddest place anyone of us have ever worked.
