Responsibilities
You manage the day-to-day of web and app projects with ease— working quickly, carefully, and autonomously to ensure we deliver on time and on budget
You know how to sell Koto’s digital expertise — whether to brand clients, new business leads, or digital-first founders. You support RFPs and pitches, ensuring we always present ourselves strongly
You build strong relationships with both clients and internal teams — advocating for both and communicating clearly across every touchpoint
You champion project management best practices, delivering a high standard of care to our clients and technical partners. You flex easily between agile and waterfall methods depending on project needs
You own your project resourcing — knowing who’s on what, what’s next, and where we need to plan ahead. You partner closely with our Client Services Director to forecast and scale
You negotiate confidently — fees, scopes, timelines, and feedback. You keep a cool head and bring clients back on side when the going gets tough
You report clearly on budgets, timelines, and KPIs — using our reporting tools to keep the MD and finance team in the loop. You play an active role in tracking and supporting our monthly goals
You mentor junior team members — helping them build confidence and ownership while offering thoughtful, behind-the-scenes support
You think in systems — understanding how brand, UX, and technology connect — and you help teams translate big ideas into beautifully executed digital experiences
You have 2–3 years of product management knowledge — you are comfortable collaborating with client-side Product Owners, creating and prioritizing backlogs, and using tools like JIRA to support agile workflows. While this role isn’t technical, you know how to scope work, size sprints, and help teams stay aligned on what’s shipping next
You’re excited to be part of our studio culture in Los Angeles, and open to global travel — from Stuttgart to San Francisco
