Would you like to do project management work within a fast-paced ever-changing environment? WhoWhatWhy is a nonprofit that doesn't take ads. We don't promote a partisan angle or push predictable views. We do dig deep, think hard, read a lot of history, ask a lot of questions, steer clear of establishment or consensus journalism, and write up what we find with verve. It's interesting, cool, meaningful work. Besides the great experience you will get, you will love us, as well as the cause you will be helping.

At WhoWhatWhy, Project Managers are responsible for scoping, scheduling, coordinating, and ensuring execution of full project lifecycles. There are lots of different kinds of projects to manage (web, HR, editorial), so we are sure we can find a good fit for you.

As a Project Manager, you'll be playing a crucial role in our growth and development through the execution of meaningful project work. You'll work from home, participating in phone and online meetings and using collaborative apps to manage projects.
