**Experience Level:** Experienced

## POSITION SUMMARY

ARTECHOUSE seeks an experienced Project Manager to lead the limited reopening of its Washington, D.C. location. This individual will assume full ownership of deployment — from planning and labor coordination through implementation and transition to operational state.

This role is execution-focused. The Project Manager will work closely with a group of ATH consultants who have deep institutional knowledge of the venue, equipment inventory, technical infrastructure, and historical deployment protocols. The Consultant will provide strategic and technical guidance; the Project Manager will own delivery.

The ideal candidate is operationally rigorous, financially disciplined, and technically fluent in multimedia installation environments. They are comfortable managing rigging, A/V engineers, vendors, contractors, and internal stakeholders while balancing budget and timeline constraints.

## CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

### Project Ownership & Deployment

- Translate strategic guidance from the ATH Consultant into actionable schedules and workstreams.
- Manage a master reopening timeline, including:
  - Pre-production planning (draft provided)
  - Infrastructure review
  - Labor scheduling
  - Commissioning and operational turnover
- Ensure readiness for public-facing operational state.

### Budget & Financial Oversight

- Develop and manage the reopening budget across all categories (labor, vendors, engineering time, rentals, repairs, contingency).
- Track burn rate in real time and manage resource allocation accordingly.
- Manage engineering and consultant hours carefully to align with budget expectations.
- Approve invoices and reconcile final project costs with accounting.

### Labor & Vendor Management

- Hire and manage installation crew and technical overhires as needed.
- Identify and contract appropriate vendors (A/V, fabrication, electrical, IT, etc.).
- Negotiate rates and payment terms where applicable.
- Supervise onsite labor to ensure quality and efficiency.
- Manage external engineers and technical consultants, prioritizing scope and time.

### Technical & Infrastructure Oversight

- Audit and assess existing venue infrastructure, including projection systems, media servers, networking, power, rigging, and structural elements.
- Ensure that all systems are stabilized and documented before reopening.
- Work with knowledgeable engineers to resolve technical issues efficiently.

### Planning & Documentation

- Maintain clear documentation of:
  - Scope of work
  - Equipment inventory and condition
  - Operational handoff procedures
- Create structured workflows to ensure transparency across stakeholders.
- Lead regular production meetings and distribute status updates.

### Risk Management & Problem Solving

- Identify risks early (timeline, labor, equipment failure, vendor delays).
- Develop contingency plans.
- Anticipate technical bottlenecks before they impact the schedule or cost.
- Provide clear decision-making recommendations to leadership.

### Operational Transition

- Ensure smooth handoff from the installation phase to the operational team.
- Confirm that all systems are stable, documented, and supportable.
- Assist in defining maintenance plans and resource requirements for ongoing operation.

## CORE QUALIFICATIONS

- 7+ years of experience managing large-scale experiential, multimedia, or technical production projects.
- Demonstrated financial project management experience.
- Strong understanding of A/V systems, projection workflows, media servers, networking, and integration environments.
- Experience managing installation crews and external vendors.
- Experience working in public-facing venues preferred.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to manage multiple moving parts in compressed timelines.

## SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

- On-site presence required in Washington, D.C.
- Evening and weekend availability during installation and commissioning periods.
- Comfortable working in active installation and technical environments.

## WHO YOU ARE

- A seasoned production or technical project manager with experience in large-scale experiential, multimedia, or A/V environments.
- Highly organized and financially disciplined.
