Location: Remote-first (Based in or able to travel to Vancouver or Victoria, BC, an asset), with the rest of the team joining from the unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations"; as well as the traditional territory of the (lək̓ʷəŋən) Lekwungen speaking Peoples, known as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations, and the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples.

THE ROLE

As our Project Manager, you’ll be the operational heartbeat and executive engine of our organization. You'll work directly with the executive team to translate creative vision into structured action - bringing clarity to chaos, streamlining systems, and stewarding the execution of high-impact projects across our four brands: Luminesque, Glow Studios, The Lovers Productions & Glow Giver Academy. This role is essential to scaling our operations while maintaining an exceptional team and client experience.

You’ll thrive if you’re deeply organized, solutions-oriented, and skilled at balancing structure with humanity. If you get a thrill from Gantt charts, herding cats managing artists, and seeing creative chaos turn into smooth execution - this is your moment.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Project Management & Systems

• Build and maintain task management systems to keep projects organized, on time, and on budget

• Implement workflows and SOPs that support our growth while reducing team overwhelm

• Manage calendars, timelines, and critical paths for both day-to-day operations and long-term initiatives

• Champion digital tools like G Suite, Momence, Notion (or whichever PM software you prefer), WhatsApp, and Kajabi to streamline internal communication
  

Team Coordination

• Collaborate with department leads to align team priorities and delegate tasks efficiently

• Keep the team accountable to project milestones and team goals, with compassion and clarity

• Identify gaps in team efficiency, and co-create staffing or restructuring plans with leadership

• Cultivate a positive, human-first remote work culture with clear boundaries and healthy communication
  

Operations Optimization

• Standardize and document internal processes, resources, and onboarding systems

• Lead efforts to organize our internal files and resources into a usable structure

• Support cross-departmental initiatives and ensure smooth day-to-day operations
  

Strategic Scaling

• Work closely with the CEO and Executive Team to turn creative and financial visions into roadmaps

• Help our organization transition into scalable models (licensee/online education)

• Use discernment to prioritize actions that will have the greatest impact across the company

• Regularly audit systems and suggest innovations that will support sustainable growth
  

YOU’LL LOVE THIS ROLE IF YOU…

• Are borderline obsessively organized and love managing multiple timelines, systems, and teams at once

• Love planning, systems, and high-level thinking - but don’t hesitate to jump in to fix a problem yourself, when needed

• Balance humans-first leadership with direct, “radical candor” communication

• Are a natural problem-solver who thrives in creative and ever-changing environments

• Have experience in online education, productions, events, or creative team settings

• Get excited about digital tools, project management platforms, and optimizing messy systems

• Thrive when motivating diverse, remote, often neurodivergent teams with kindness and clarity

• Align with our values of empowerment, equity, and collective liberation

Please note that to maintain healthy boundaries and support role clarity, the person in this role cannot dance in any progressive Luminesque program or teach at Luminesque for the duration of their employment.

GROWTH + SUPPORT

This role is designed to grow with you. With strong performance, you’ll have a clear path towards an Operations Executive role, supported by coaching and mentorship, as we scale.

YOUR FIRST 90 DAYS

• Onboard our team into using a project management system that works across departments

• Establish a Google Drive structure everyone actually uses, and rally the team to clean house

• Audit our current systems and begin creating manuals and onboarding materials

• Identify team and system inefficiencies, and collaborate on a roadmap for improvement

• Be able to speak to each of our brands’ core functions and identify opportunities to optimize, scale, and support
