ABOUT US

Luminary Labs is a strategy and innovation consultancy that helps nonprofit, government, and Fortune 500 organizations thrive in the face of change. Thorny problems are our strong suit. Our clients are “innovation mavericks” — leaders inside global corporations, nonprofits, and federal agencies who are tasked with helping their organizations adapt to the technological, economic, political, and social norms of the 21st century. We’re the strategy and innovation consultants they call when there’s no playbook for the problem they’re trying to solve.

THE ROLE

Luminary Labs is seeking a detail-oriented project manager to support our consulting team on a year-long project helping a life sciences client navigate the risks and opportunities of marketing on digital channels. The Digital Guidelines Manager will support the development and management of digital guidance documents for our client’s U.S. brands, and gain first-hand insight into working with a highly-respected digital team at a Fortune 500 health company.

ABOUT YOU

You are a trusted and conscientious project manager. You are very comfortable developing and executing against a project plan, overseeing multiple workstreams, and confidently managing input from various stakeholders. You know — or can quickly learn —  the ins and outs of major digital marketing channels, and are excited to track the latest updates across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, search engines, and more. You are a clear communicator with strong business writing skills and are comfortable translating complex concepts for the layperson.

You are excited to engage with a consulting firm as a digital marketing and project management expert.
