Full description
We are seeking a Technical Website Project Manager to oversee the end-to-end delivery of high-performance websites. You will serve as the essential link between our clients and our production team (UI/UX designers and web developers).
The ideal candidate is "dangerously technical", you know your way around a DNS record, can troubleshoot a CSS layout issue, and understand the difference between headless and traditional CMS. While you aren’t the primary developer, you have the hands-on skills to build a landing page or configure a staging environment, ensuring that high-stakes projects stay on track and meet modern web standards.
What will you need to do:
? Solution Architecting: Translate client business goals into clear technical sitemaps, user flows, and functional requirements. Recommend the best tech stack (e.g., WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, or custom builds) based on project needs.
? Project Orchestration: Manage the full website lifecycle from discovery to launch using Agile/Scrum methodologies. Own the timeline, budget, and ensure all deliverables meet launch readiness standards.
? Hands-on Support (Light): Assist with basic HTML/CSS tweaks, content uploads, plugin configurations, and staging setup to keep projects moving efficiently before escalating to developers.
? Stakeholder Management: Act as the main point of contact for clients, translating technical concepts like caching, responsiveness, and SEO into clear, business-friendly language.
? Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with UI/UX designers and developers to ensure feasibility, resolve blockers, and manage scope changes effectively.
? Performance & QA: Lead quality assurance across browsers and devices, ensuring websites are optimized for speed, responsiveness, and bug-free performance before launch.
