About The Position

Seeking an experienced, technically fluent Technical Project Manager to own delivery of websites and web applications for museums, nonprofits, universities, and B2B organizations. This role sits at the intersection of client management, technical team leadership, and PMO process ownership. The right candidate leads complex projects with confidence, translates technical work into clear client communication, coaches junior team members, and actively makes our delivery processes better. At Urban Insight, strong project management means you'll regularly operate across a range of functions. On any given week you may be running QA, configuring analytics, writing a business and technical requirements doc, or supporting a sales conversation and scoping. If you thrive in that kind of variety, you'll fit right in. If you want a role where your ownership is real and your impact is visible, this is it.

Requirements

5+ years of progressive project management experience at a digital agency or consulting firm.
Proven ability to independently manage complex web projects, including scope, budget, schedule, and client communication.
Previous development experience is strongly preferred.
Strong proficiency with Drupal and/or WordPress sufficient to lead technical conversations with engineering teams without developer support.
Solid grasp of Agile practices including Scrum and Kanban, with experience mentoring others on process.
Experience collaborating with sales or client development teams on scoping, estimating, and proposal development.
Familiarity with AI tools relevant to project delivery, with a habit of researching and sharing what’s useful with peers.
Strong client presentation and communication skills, including the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences.
Ability to produce concise, professional memos, technical specifications, and project documentation.
Bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
Previous success working remotely.

Responsibilities
