Summary Generated by Built In
We’re looking for a growth-oriented, driven and empathetic Project Manager to join our team. This isn’t project management in the traditional sense. It’s part educator, part advocate, part guide  and someone who knows how to build trust, create momentum, and confidently move clients toward decisions. You’ll help homeowners navigate the complexities of transforming a vision into something buildable, beautiful and lasting, while proactively driving progress and keeping projects advancing toward real outcomes.

As the single point of contact from onboarding through construction, you’ll play a critical role in shaping the client experience, driving project success, and delivering measurable results. You’ll be a translator of ideas, a remover of friction, and, at times, a source of calm in the exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) process of bringing a new yard to life. Success in this role means not only providing an exceptional experience, but also actively guiding clients through key decisions, maintaining engagement, and ensuring projects move forward to build. This role carries clear performance expectations tied to project progression, conversion, and outcomes - making it ideal for someone who is motivated by goals, ownership, and impact.

What you'll do:

  • Manage your pipeline. You’ll oversee the flow of projects from intake to delivery - ensuring timelines are met, and maintaining high standards for quality and brand alignment.
  • Be the guide. You’ll serve as the primary point of contact for a portfolio of clients, helping them move confidently from initial design kickoff through to construction. You’ll be their go-to resource, trusted partner, and advocate throughout the design and build journey.
  • Own the experience. From answering early questions to coordinating final site walks, you’ll proactively manage all communication ensuring clients, contractors, and internal teams are aligned at every step.
  • Turn complexity into clarity. You’ll help homeowners understand design concepts, construction timelines and contractor bids in plain, human language that builds trust and momentum.
  • Inspire action. Whether it’s gathering design feedback or encouraging clients to meet with a contractor, you’ll be gently but purposefully moving clients toward key milestones, and toward a finished yard they love.
  • Own your market. You’ll be responsible for understanding the contractor landscape in your territory -  identifying skill gaps, prospecting and vetting new contractors, and ensuring there’s enough market coverage and supply to meet client demand and close projects.
  • Partner. You’ll collaborate across design, operations and sales to ensure each project is progressing smoothly, quickly and with the level of care that defines the Yardzen experience.
  • Drive successful outcomes. You'll be managed to a number, and achieving it means you've ensured your clients make it from design all the way through to build.

What success looks like:

  • First and foremost, high client satisfaction. We’re in the client service business and aim to delight. 
  • Thoughtful communication and quick resolution of concerns. Design is most successful with  effective communication. 
  • Fast project throughput and minimized delays. Our clients are on timelines and time is money.
  • Beautiful builds. Design is in service of a built space and you’ll get each client successfully through the process. 
  • A calm, confident experience for every client you support. Each project is unique and comes with its own challenges. You’ll be the rock.

What you bring:

  • Proven track record of driving sales growth while consistently delivering exceptional client experiences
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
  • Familiarity with tools like Zendesk, Podium, and Hubspot.
  • Experience in client service, project coordination, or a related role.
  • Comfort working in fast-moving, dynamic environments.
  • An empathetic approach and talent for guiding and influencing clients.
  • A deep belief in the power of great design - and a desire to help others realize it.
  • A background in landscape design, architecture or residential construction is a strong plus.

What we offer:

  • Remote work, always: We're a remote-first company
  • Full coverage for you: 100% paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Competitive compensation: Salary that matches your skills and experience
  • Support for growing families: 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave
  • Monthly perks: Wellness, cell phone, and internet stipends to keep you connected and cared for

At Yardzen, we’re committed to creating a space where our employees can bring their full selves to work and have equal opportunities to succeed.
