We are Edenspiekermann - an independent design consultancy with 40+ years of experience helping world-leading organizations invent, build, and evolve their products. Our Product Strategy practice works directly with product teams at the intersection of market insight, design excellence, and AI-driven development.
Our interaction designers work in agile and interdisciplinary teams on websites and platforms for major brands as well as for startups. Our teams combine conceptual thinking, a sophisticated understanding of design and a deep knowledge of web and app development to develop a digital product or service with a user-centric approach. In doing so, we advise and coach our clients' teams to provide the best customer experience for their customers.
About the Role
Great design needs more than great ideas. It needs clear plans, the right resources, someone who makes sure everything comes together, and our work actually ships. As a Project Manager at Edenspiekermann, you manage projects across product and brand strategy, product design and brand design – from kick-off to final delivery.
Your focus is on efficient, commercially sound project delivery: planning work, coordinating teams, managing budgets and keeping implementation on track. You work closely with our Design Directors, who typically lead strategic and creative conversations with clients. Together, you make sure client requirements translate into clear scopes, realistic plans and successful outcomes.
Some of our projects involve complex technology and substantial development work. You’re comfortable working closely with developers and understand how design and technology come together.
