About JAQUE

JAQUE is a luxury design firm specializing in high-end residential, hospitality, retail, and commercial environments across Arizona and select markets nationwide, including California, Florida, and Montana.

Projects range from luxury residential renovations to hospitality, retail, and commercial interior environments with a strong focus on execution, technical coordination, and elevated client experience.

Our company operates in a fast-moving, highly collaborative, founder-led environment where communication, urgency, organization, adaptability, and execution all matter equally.

We are seeking a highly organized, proactive, and solutions-oriented Project Manager to help drive project coordination, communication, accountability, and operational execution across multiple active projects.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys managing moving pieces, solving problems quickly, maintaining structure in dynamic environments, and helping keep projects, teams, vendors, and timelines aligned.

Role Overview

The Project Manager serves as the operational glue between leadership, design, technical teams, vendors, consultants, contractors, procurement, and installations.

This role is responsible for helping maintain organization, communication, accountability, scheduling, coordination, and steady project momentum across all phases of project execution.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, calm under pressure, proactive, adaptable, and capable of managing multiple active projects simultaneously without losing attention to detail.

This is not a passive administrative role. We are looking for someone who takes ownership, follows through relentlessly, communicates proactively, and helps maintain structure within a fast-moving project environment.

Travel is required based on project needs, installations, client meetings, and onsite coordination.

• Becomes overwhelmed by changing priorities or fast-moving environments
• Prefers slow-paced or highly siloed corporate environments
