Requirements

• Experience: Minimum 5+ years of professional experience, with at least 3 years specifically managing high-stakes interactive, digital, or web development projects.

• Software Experience: Expert proficiency in project management tools (e.g., Jira, Workfront) and in-depth familiarity with Figma as the source of truth for design assets.
• CMS Expertise: Deep understanding of platform ecosystems (e.g., WordPress, Contentful, or Webflow), including custom themes, plugin architecture, and content modeling.
• Interactive Savvy: Direct experience managing projects involving animation (Lottie, Rive) and the integration of third-party APIs or AI-driven tools such as Claude Code.
• Communication: Proven ability to translate complex technical requirements into actionable project milestones for non-technical stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

• PMP, CSM, or relevant Agile certifications.
• Experience with JavaScript basics or modern front-end libraries.
• Background in a fast-paced Agency or Fintech environment.
• Familiarity with ADA/Accessibility compliance standards for the web.

Responsibilities

• Project Planning & Execution: Define project scope, deliverables, and timelines while developing detailed project plans that account for technical dependencies and resource allocation.
• Technical Workflow Management: Oversee the design and development phases, ensuring that code quality meets standards and that front-end execution aligns with the original design intent.
• Front-End Liaison: Act as the "translator" between our internal web design, web strategy and engineering teams, product marketers, and product team; use your knowledge of Wordpress and HTML/CSS to troubleshoot layout issues, audit implementation, and streamline developer handoffs.
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Foster strong relationships between all cross functional partners to organize workflow, prioritize backlogs, and resolve blockers.
