About The Position

The Digital Production Manager is the operational backbone of FreeWill's Digital Services team, responsible for keeping 500+ Planned Giving Microsites running smoothly while continuously improving how the team works. This role combines hands-on technical execution (web design, development, content production) with rigorous project coordination and process ownership. You’ll act as the link between partners, internal strategists, and contract developers, translating requests into action, building systems that scale, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. This is a good fit for someone with deep creative agency experience who's worn all the hats, someone who's gone from client call to wireframe to deployed site in the same week and enjoyed every part of it. You get genuine satisfaction from bringing order to complexity, you treat clear communication as a craft worth perfecting, and you're energized by the challenge of building operational infrastructure while the plane is in flight. This is a full-time, remote position in the United States. FreeWill has set compensation and a non-negotiation policy for fairness reasons (we don't think that an individual's pay should be determined by how comfortable they are negotiating). As a result, we like to be transparent and up front about the compensation. When we make an offer, we provide multiple options so that employees can choose between compensation packages that prioritize salary or stock options. The salary for this role is $70,000 and will come with equity and full benefits.

Requirements

Operational obsession. You notice inefficiencies, you document what you learn, and you build systems that make future work easier. You find satisfaction in a clean tracker and a well-written process doc.
Real web design and development chops. You've built websites from scratch, not just edited templates. You’re fluent in HTML and CSS, with strong JavaScript experience using React and Next.js. You work comfortably in WordPress, you're at home in GitHub, and you can move between design tools and code editors without friction.
Agency generalist background. You've worked somewhere that required you to be a designer on Monday, a developer on Tuesday, a project manager on Wednesday, and client-facing all three days. You know how to ship work with limited resources and tight timelines.
Excellent written communication. You write clearly and concisely for different audiences, whether that's a partner who needs a plain-English explanation or a developer who needs precise specs. You take pride in emails that don't require follow-up questions.
Comfort with ambiguity and change. The product offering evolves, partners have unique needs, and priorities shift. You adapt without losing your grip on what's in flight.
Attention to detail and follow-through. You catch errors before they ship, you close loops, and you don't let things quietly drop.

Nice To Haves

Experience with Notion, Figma, or similar tools for project management and design collaboration.
Familiarity with domains, DNS, analytics platforms, or accessibility standards (WCAG).
Background in nonprofit tech, SaaS, or B2B environments.
Experience managing or coordinating contractors or freelancers.

Responsibilities

Serve as the primary point of contact for partner requests, managing intake through shared inboxes and Slack, setting expectations, and providing clear status updates throughout the project lifecycle.
Coordinate work across contract developers by scoping requests, assigning tasks, tracking progress, and ensuring deliverables meet quality standards before they reach partners.
Execute design and development work directly, including building and modifying sites in WordPress, creating and editing visual assets in Photoshop or Figma, and writing clean HTML/CSS/JS when the situation calls for it. Git and GitHub are part of your regular workflow, not something you need to Google.
Own project tracking and documentation in Notion, maintaining accurate records of decisions, partner context, and project status so the team always knows where things stand.
Build and refine operational systems, including intake workflows, QC checklists, handoff processes, and documentation standards. Conduct quarterly reviews to identify what's working and what needs to change.
Handle bespoke and one-off requests with flexibility, problem-solving edge cases that don't fit standard workflows, while flagging patterns that suggest the need for new processes.
QC completed work for accuracy, brand consistency, and basic accessibility before delivery.
Communicate proactively, clearly, and with empathy with partners and internal stakeholders- setting expectations, confirming launches, explaining delays, and providing technical guidance in ways they can genuinely understand.
