Project Management
Project managers, account managers and production managers are responsible for keeping our projects going and making them a success for everyone involved. Duties include project planning, resourcing and oversight. They make sure the project gets done on time, on budget and to the satisfaction of the customer and other partners.
A Project Manager needs to be customer- and sales-oriented, detail-minded and a leader with a pro-active attitude. A Project Manager has the talent to both inspire and demand high-quality work from their team. A Project Manager is the point person between the customer and the creative team, so excellent communication skills and fluent Finnish and English are a must. In many cases, a Project Manager will begin his or her career as a Project Coordinator, moving on to the bigger challenge of project management after a few years experience with digital projects. Project Managers at Activeark are of two types, with a background in either technology or marketing.

Business developers and marketers should have a proven track record selling digital, marketing or technological solutions. They should have excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

Design
Design means creative thinking and the attentive development of an idea from inspiration through production to delivery. A good designer knows their audience, and is skilled at translating a customer’s brief into an original, produceable solution. Designers are responsible for the content, the look and the interactivity of digital solutions, and fall into a number of different categories: concept, copywriting, visual design, service design, motion and UI.
Our designers work primarily to fulfill the marketing and sales needs of our customers. They create engaging stories and experiences for end-users. Many of our designers began their careers at Activeark as interns, working on a freelance basis during their studies and then joining as junior designers after graduation.

Web developers will be experts with a particular specialty, e.g. Flash, Flex, Drupal, front-end or back-end. They should also have excellent knowledge and some experience with web-based technologies outside their area of expertise. Developers produce web solutions using modern standards-based techniques and best practices.
Technical developers must have several years experience building complex, web-based architectures. Many web developers begin their careers at Activeark as interns, working as freelancers during their studies and then joining the team as junior developers after graduation.
