[Hiring] Project Manager @Pacific Legal Foundation

Role Description

An experienced project manager, ideally with a background in policy or law. You enjoy turning ideas into reality by facilitating collaboration between specialists and teams across a large, diverse organization. You’re a process-oriented thinker who thrives as the ringleader of a circus: developing, managing, and implementing processes and systems that facilitate the implementation of Project Management best practices. You excel at information sharing and have a clear and direct verbal and written communication style.

Here’s what you get to do in this role:

• Design and implement project management systems at the organization, department, and team levels.
• Facilitate coordination across communications, legal, research, policy, and operations capabilities to ensure timely delivery of products.
• Serve as PLF's Asana platform owner — manage workspace configuration, maintain naming conventions and structural standards, onboard new users, and troubleshoot adoption issues across teams.
• Develop and maintain a library of PM templates and playbooks — including project charters, RACI frameworks, status update formats, and meeting cadence guides tailored to PLF's cross-functional work.
• Design and deliver PM training for staff and supervisors — covering core project management concepts, Asana workflows, and effective cross-functional project collaboration.
• Coach project leads across the organization on an as-needed basis — helping teams scope work, sequence dependencies, and course-correct when projects stall.
• Build and document PLF's project management standards — establishing shared language, escalation paths, and decision-making frameworks so projects run effectively, consistently whether or not this role is directly embedded.
• Partner with individual teams to map and improve their internal workflows and identify where friction between team processes impedes effective coordination.

Qualifications

• At least 5 years of project management experience.
• Experience working across teams and reporting structures to get work done.
• Experience developing and implementing processes, including project management and information sharing systems.
• Experience administering project management software in a team setting (we use Asana).
• Experience facilitating information sharing across multiple systems (Asana, Salesforce, SharePoint, and Quorum are the big 4 at PLF).
• Experience with agile project management methods is helpful but can be learned on the job.
• Experience with law/litigation is not required but could be a plus.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation including medical, dental, and employer-paid retirement.
• Generous PTO and flextime.
• A strong culture of internal advancement.
