We are looking for a project manager who can manage complete ecommerce project builds and long-term program relationships. We build ecommerce projects on Magento, the fastest growing ecommerce platform on the market. We’ve building sites on this platform since it came out in 2008, and are expanding our team to satisfy the ever-growing demand for quality companies who can build Magento ecommerce sites.

The Company:

Classy Llama Studios, according to its namesake, is a bit different. Our culture is a bit zany, our approach to business is a bit unconventional, and it seems to be working quite well. We have a team of highly committed llamas that care about each other and care about the clients we serve. We have each other’s backs, and what we do is more than a job; we are fulfilling a mission and pursuing a vision that we are passionate about. There’s meaning to what we do, and that’s the most important thing we have to offer new team members.
