Who we are:

We’re a curious and humble group of people who love to build things. Learning is the key to our culture, and we’re always looking for new skills to pick up and ways to hone our craft. We bring that same curiosity to our clients, digging into their needs so we can make sure our design and development projects look great, work great and push their businesses forward.

At Table XI, you’ll get exposure to many different people and projects. Our clients look to us as a strategic partner, and we make decisions that affect the long-term success of their businesses.

Who we’ve helped:

  • Northwestern University research facilities perform and advance clinical research
  • Maria Pinto re-launch her fashion business
  • More than 25,000 people participate in Chicago Ideas Week each year
  • Pharmaceutical companies ensure that medicines and vaccines are manufactured and stored properly
  • Families suffering from tragic circumstances connect with resources and each other
  • Roger Ebert solidify his legacy as a film critic

But the work is just part of what makes Table XI a fun place to be. We make time for people to follow their interests, whether that's volunteering at Code Platoon, speaking at RailsConf, learning a new framework or writing books. If there's something you're passionate about, we want to help you pursue it so you can teach it to the rest of us. Our weekly Lunch and Learns have covered everything from an X-Files approach to design, to React/Flux basics, to culinary skills for home cooks, to website performance testing.

Everyone on our team gets:

  • Daily gourmet meals cooked in-house with vegetarian, gluten-free, and other options available
  • The promise of minimal travel
  • A casual loft office that pairs an open floor plan with quiet rooms
  • Competitive compensation
  • Cigna health insurance
  • 401k plan, including employer matching

We’re looking for an Agile project manager to bring strategic vision and tactical expertise to solving challenging problems with our clients.

Any project manager wears many hats; Table XI PMs always have at least a derby, pith helmet, beret and baseball cap at the ready. We begin our work with clients early in the consultative process to understand their business needs and constraints, so we can propose the right approach for them. We follow that up with facilitation of discovery work and execution of Agile design and development projects. After a successful launch, we manage maintenance and provide ongoing recommendations on long-term product roadmaps. Throughout, we’re focused on building authentic relationships with our clients and teams. (That’s why we’re still working with our first client, 16 years later.)

Here’s what we expect from you:

  • You treat your clients’ projects like they’re your own. You make sure clients feel like an essential part of the team, and that they’re never surprised by cost, timeline, scope, or any other element of the project.
  • You’re focused on understanding business and user needs and providing value to both.
  • You understand strategy, research, design and development for both web and mobile, and can manage them in any combination.
  • You’re an excellent communicator with a range of audiences, no matter the medium. You like to both teach and learn.
  • You thrive in a collaborative, agile environment. You’re at your best when working as part of a diverse team.
  • You think holistically about project needs. You help solve problems and drive project success, including making hard decisions and trade-offs. You foresee risks and work to mitigate them calmly.
  • You enjoy multitasking and working on lots of different business problems. You can juggle the needs, budgets, timelines, priorities and personalities of multiple clients at a time.
  • You are comfortable facilitating a variety of discovery activities for business and users.
  • You have experience analyzing and documenting business and user requirements, testing them to confirm they work as expected, and providing clear feedback when they don’t.

We take equality seriously.

Table XI is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is committed to equal opportunity employment without regard to race, religion, color, gender (including gender identity, change of sex and transgender status), sexual orientation, age, disability, ancestry, national origin, military or veteran status, marital status, genetic information or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
