  • Maintain clear and consistent project documentation (status reports, RAID logs, decision logs, meeting notes) that keep all stakeholders informed
  • Partner with the client to manage expectations, communicate progress, and navigate complexity with composure and clarity
  • Ensure delivery processes align with agile, waterfall, or hybrid methodologies as required by the engagement
  • Contribute to continuously improving delivery practices and ways of working within the project and broader team

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of project management experience within a digital agency or product delivery environment, with a strong emphasis on digital products and services
  • Proven ability to manage complex, multi-workstream engagements with overlapping timelines, dependencies, and stakeholder groups
  • Highly organized and detail-oriented, with strong instincts for anticipating issues before they escalate
  • Clear, confident communicator with both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Comfortable working independently and proactively in a fast-paced, remote environment
  • Proficiency with project management and collaboration tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet, or similar)
