IT Project Manager - 26042801

Our client is an established digital agency with 9+ years of success delivering high-performance websites for primarily US-based clients. They specialize in modern JavaScript websites and headless builds, operating with a startup mindset: lean, fast-moving, high standards, and zero corporate bureaucracy.

Their distributed team spans the UK, Europe, Africa, and Asia, with plans to expand operations into the US. Growth has been driven almost entirely through referrals and inbound demand—now they’re building the next stage of scale.

They’re now hiring a Technical Project Manager to become a critical client-facing leader and operational backbone of the business.

The Role

This is not a “Jira admin” role. It’s for someone sharp, proactive, technical enough to understand how websites are built, and confident enough to lead client communication.

You’ll manage multiple website projects from kickoff to launch, coordinating clients, developers, designers, and timelines across time zones. You’ll turn client requests into clean execution plans, keep projects moving, and solve issues before they become problems.

This is one of the company’s most important hires, with direct impact on growth and delivery quality.

What You’ll Do

• Manage multiple web development projects simultaneously (mostly modern JavaScript / headless CMS websites)

• Act as the main point of contact for US-based clients during business hours

• Lead project delivery from kickoff through launch

• Translate client requests into clear technical tickets and actionable briefs

• Coordinate developers, designers, and stakeholders across global teams

• Use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, etc.) to speed up specs, documentation, summaries, and workflows

• Manage tasks, priorities, and delivery pipelines in Linear

• Identify blockers early and proactively solve them

• Own timelines, scope, expectations, and communication

• Ensure a polished, professional client experience at every touchpoint

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience managing technical/web projects

• Strong spoken and written English

• Excellent client-facing communication skills

• Comfortable working in US time zones (Central preferred, East/West Coast acceptable)

• Experience working with developers and technical teams

• Understanding of how websites are built (frontend/backend basics, environments, APIs, hosting, etc.)

• Strong organization and ownership mindset

• Calm under pressure and solution-oriented

Nice to Have

• Experience with Next.js, React, JavaScript ecosystems

• Experience with headless CMS platforms (Sanity, Contentful, etc.)

• Experience with Linear, Jira, ClickUp, or similar PM tools

• Ability to read basic code / PR summaries

• Experience building AI automations or workflows

Who Will Thrive Here

• You move fast without losing quality

• You communicate like a professional, not like internal chat messages

• You take feedback well and improve quickly

• You enjoy ownership and autonomy

• You care about execution more than politics

• You’re highly reliable and naturally organized

What’s Offered

• Fully remote role

• Work directly with founder and senior leadership

• High ownership / high impact position

• Modern tech stack and AI-first workflows

• Flexible schedule within your timezone

• 21 days paid leave

• Growth opportunities as the company scales internationally
