The posting

We’re seeking a Project Manager with 3+ years of experience leading on-site data collection projects with a focus on user studies. This role owns end-to-end delivery—timelines, budgets, and client-facing communications—while ensuring high-quality execution through strong attention to detail and strong team management. The position is remote, with a preference for candidates based in the San Francisco Bay Area or Los Angeles, CA. Travel to some of our study locations will be required for new project launches, maintenance, on-site realignment, and key project checkpoints.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead end-to-end delivery of on-site data collection projects supporting user studies (e.g., usability tests, in-context/field research, intercepts, diary studies with in-person components).
  • Build and manage detailed project plans and schedules (workback plans, run-of-show agendas, staffing schedules, milestones, dependencies) to ensure on-time execution.
  • Own budget management: forecasting, tracking spend vs. plan, managing vendors and contractors, controlling scope, and documenting change requests.
  • Create and deliver client-facing presentations: kickoffs, weekly status updates, risk/issue reviews, and final project readouts; translate complex details into clear narratives.
  • Coordinate on-site logistics: site readiness, staffing, equipment/materials, shipping, access/security requirements, participant flow, and contingency planning.
  • Manage and support project team members (internal staff, contractors, and vendors): set expectations, assign work, track deliverables, remove blockers, provide feedback, and ensure accountability.
  • Ensure data quality and compliance with study requirements (consent, privacy/PII handling, documentation standards).
  • Maintain rigorous project documentation and reporting (status reports, action logs, risk registers, budget trackers, timeline updates).
  • Identify risks early and drive mitigation (no-shows, site constraints, equipment failures, vendor delays), escalating with clear options and recommendations.

Required Skills:

  • 3+ years of project management experience in on-site data collection, research operations, and/or user study execution.
  • Strong knowledge of head-mounted devices, such as Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest, Meta Glasses, and other smart glasses.
  • Prior involvement in on-site user studies including head-mounted devices required
  • Demonstrated strengths in: time management, budget management, client-facing presentations, attention to detail, and team member management.
  • Experience coordinating vendors, contractors, and field teams.
  • Strong written and verbal communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Comfortable operating autonomously in a remote environment.
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree (minimum) in a related field such as Business Management, Economics, Computer Science, or equivalent relevant discipline/experience.

Optional Skills:

  • Advanced proficiency across Microsoft Office tools (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, Teams; plus SharePoint/OneDrive as applicable).
  • Working knowledge of Android devices and Apple iOS/macOS devices (setup, basic troubleshooting, OS updates, device management basics) to support on-site study execution.
  • Scrum Master experience (or Agile project delivery experience).

Location/Travel Requirements:

  • Remote role. Preferred locations: Bay Area or Los Angeles, CA
  • Travel across the USA will be required for new project launches, maintenance, on-site realignment, and key project checkpoints. Travel frequency varies by project pipeline and study schedule.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
