Where is This Role?

While we service clients nationally and internationally, Leap Group has a footprint in the Midwest, with offices in:

Louisville, KY

Cincinnati, OH

Indianapolis, IN

Chicago, IL

Our roles are typically open to remote candidates located and authorized to work in the U.S. However, strong preference is always given to candidates in or near our physical footprint.

Who is the Project Manager?

This Project Manager will support our government-sector client portfolio, where our delivery model differs slightly from the private sector. This role blends hard, disciplined project management skills with the client-facing finesse of account management. You'll manage a high volume of light-touch government accounts (40-50) while ensuring each receives clarity, structure, and excellent service - helping our teams deliver on-time, on-budget work that supports impact.

You'll be a great fit if you're energized by variety, highly organized, comfortable in a fast-paced environment, and skilled at balancing project execution with professional, proactive client communication.

Broad responsibilities include:

* Own project timelines, deliverables, scopes, and budgets for all assigned government accounts.

* Create clarity for internal teams through detailed project plans, status updates, documentation, and risk mitigation efforts.

* Ensure work moves efficiently through creative, strategy, production, and development teams using standard Leap processes and our project management system, Adobe Workfront.

* Provide proactive forecasting of hours, resourcing, schedules, and potential bottlenecks.

* Maintain a consistent cadence of communication and documentation across a high volume of projects.

* Serve as the primary point of contact for government accounts, delivering a high-touch, service-minded client experience similar to an Account Manager.

* Onboard new clients, guide them through Leap processes, and ensure they feel supported and informed.

* Communicate project statuses, next…
