Apply Now
(US-Based | Eastern or Central Time | Contract → Leadership Track) This is not an entry-level PM role. If you have not personally delivered complex web or e-commerce projects end-to-end, this role will not be a fit. We are a growing digital studio looking for a senior Web Project Manager / Delivery Lead to own delivery across client web and e-commerce projects and collaborate closely with our internal team. This role requires deep web experience, strong delivery instincts, and high responsiveness. Location & Availability (Non-Negotiable) • United States–based contractors only • Must be located in Eastern or Central Time • Required to be online and responsive during standard US business hours • This is a collaborative delivery role, not async-only work • Quick responses to Slack and email are expected • Active participation in project calls, reviews, and internal coordination is required If you prefer fully async, low-touch PM work, this will not be a fit. What You’ll Be Responsible For You will own delivery, not just track tasks. • Manage web and e-commerce projects from strategy → content → wireframes → design → development → launch • Translate client conversations into clear, developer-ready requirements • Run kickoff calls, milestone check-ins, and client updates • Catch inconsistencies between strategy decisions, design outputs, and development execution before they become problems • Keep projects moving when clients stall or requirements are incomplete • Ensure developers have clean inputs and clear direction • Document approvals, changes, and scope decisions • Manage multiple projects simultaneously without loss of momentum You’ll collaborate closely with: • the business owner • a development manager • designers and developers You are expected to drive projects forward, not wait for direction.

What This Role Is NOT • Not a task-only coordinator • Not a meeting scheduler • Not a process-enforcer without delivery accountability • Not a junior PM role • Not a place to learn web fundamentals on the job We need someone who already understands how web projects break — and how to prevent it. Contract & Growth Opportunity • Contractor role to start • Immediate project work available • High-performing contractors can quickly grow into a senior delivery or management role • Opportunity to take ownership of larger initiatives as trust is established This is a role for someone who wants to build leverage, not just log hours. How to Apply (Required) To be considered, please include: • A brief overview of your web and e-commerce project experience • 2–3 examples of complex web projects you personally managed • A short explanation of how you handle: • conflicting strategy vs design decisions • mid-project requirement changes Applications that skip these steps will not be reviewed. Final Note We value ownership, responsiveness, and delivery. If you take pride in launching real web projects — on time, with clarity, and without chaos — we’d love to talk.
