Spectrum Science – Resource Manager – Atlanta, GA

Job title: Resource Manager

Company: Spectrum Science

Job description: Job Description: Resource Manager

Brace your career – you’re going beyond the science quo with Spectrum. We’re the full-service, health and science communications and media agency that’s out of this world. We’re fiercely independent and 100% science-focused so we can go where other “science-light” agencies can’t or won’t. Together with superhuman strategy, atomic creative, intermedia magic, interwoven ingenuity and indominable innovation we dream beyond the realm of the possible – and do it.

At Spectrum, the Resource Manager will work closely with all Program Managers and Client Services Leads to effectively staff client projects, as well as track current workflow to ensure resources are properly allocated throughout the term of their assigned projects.

We are currently looking for a Resource Manager with a fondness for detail, a knack for protocol, and the motivation to advocate for change management (as needed) in order to achieve the topline goals. As Resource Management is an emerging discipline at Spectrum, the ideal candidate will be comfortable operating independently and have a desire to help shape tools, processes, and expectations.

If you love data (and some data entry), have an aptitude for reporting and forecasting, as well as enjoy networking, this is the role for you. This candidate will be entrepreneurial at their core, comfortable navigating ambiguity, confident in advocating for change management and, ideally, possesses a deep drive to achieve topline goals within the Resource Management function.
