Williams-Sonoma, Inc. 

Project Manager 

About the Team 

The Direct to Customer Operations - Project Management team fills a vital role in the Customer Care Center and across our organization by driving change and improving efficiency through creation and implementation of novel solutions to hard problems.  The PM Team is made up of individuals with a strong ability to lead, meticulous attention to detail, a desire to make an impact, and the willingness to step in and solve the problem when one arises.    

About the Role 

The mission of our Project Managers is simple: make everything run as efficiently as possible. But don’t mistake this for a typical “box checking” PM position. Our PMs need an entire wardrobe full of hats to thrive in the fast paced environment of the Customer Care Center where projects can range from system implementations and process improvement analysis to transitioning entire divisions from one business unit to another. Our PMs need stellar communication skills and the ability to adapt messaging across a wide range of audiences as your work will take you from meeting with brand new phone associates in the morning to presenting to a Brand President in the afternoon. You will love working with our PM team if you thrive on change, laugh in the face of ambiguity, and relish the chance to create entirely new processes and systems from the ground up.
