Job Summary
Video Project Manager, Flexible Hours, Work From Home
If you are highly organized, love structure and cool software, and love calling strangers on the phone, and you want to be a part of a small, international company with a big future, then this might be the perfect fit for you.
You will be working with a small entrepreneurial San Diego-based company making a difference in the lives of business owners in the financial services industry by working virtually with an international team, from your own home office.

About You
This is a demanding position so you need to be highly organized. Color-coding, online folders, and systems should get you revved up. Taking an idea and turning it into a timeline of clear deliverables actually sounds like a fun way to spend a day to you.

You also love people — you’re a natural mentor and sounding board, and knowing that you helped someone else succeed also will help you succeed.
It helps if you have an interest in finance, since most of our clients are in the financial services industries.
You do NOT thrive on being micromanaged and love to be given the freedom to
excel in your job with real responsibility. Being your own boss and helping a small, growing organization is a dream come true for you.
You are open, direct, and straightforward. You believe that honesty, awareness,
and ownership are the direct routes to problem solving.
You love being given a responsibility and then running with it, making sure all t's are crossed and i's are dotted, and keeping close watch on all your projects to make sure they're completed with excellence and on time. You own your job as if it was your own company.
