Careers @ Stryve
Project Manager
Description
Are you the kind of person who loves bringing clarity to chaos and helping teams deliver great work—on time and on budget? Are you hungry to grow your impact in project management, marketing operations, and client delivery? Are you excited by fast-paced environments, diverse client challenges, and collaborating closely with designers and marketers? You just might be our next Stryver.
From tech to agriculture, we work with a wide range of B2B clients. They're doing amazing things in their spaces. It's our job to push them even further. We work smart. We deliver exceptional work. Then, we log the hell off and enjoy our lives! Want to go even deeper on our company culture? Here's more on what life at Stryve is like straight from the source.
This position is open to Canadian residents that are available to work in the Eastern time zone. You'd have the flexibility to work remotely, come into the office every day, or do a combination of both. Our office in Kitchener supports a collaborative hybrid workplace in the world's largest IoT building, Catalyst137.
While this would be a remote first position, you will need to travel to our Kitchener office or nearby clients a few times a year, so being within a commutable distance is essential.
About the role
As a Project Manager at Stryve, you’ll be the operational backbone of our client work—bringing structure, momentum, and clarity to complex marketing and design projects.

You’ll partner closely with account leads, designers, and marketers to create processes that protect focus, improve delivery health, and ultimately make our work better for clients and teams alike.

- Scheduling and facilitating client meetings, including agendas, notes, and follow-ups
