We are seeking a strategic and technically fluent Project Manager to lead complex Web and CMS digital transformation initiatives. In this role, you will oversee the full project lifecycle—from discovery and solution design to development, launch, and post-launch optimization.

You will manage cross-functional teams including strategists, UX designers, architects, developers, and QA specialists while serving as the primary point of contact for enterprise clients.

• Manage project scope, budgets (£1M+), schedules, and profitability
• Facilitate discovery workshops and translate business requirements into actionable delivery plans
• Develop detailed project plans, timelines, RAID logs, and status reporting
• Oversee resource planning, forecasting, and estimate-to-completion tracking
• Identify and mitigate risks related to integrations, content migration, and technical architecture
• Participate in pre-sales activities including RFP responses, scoping, and SOW development
• Build strong client relationships and identify opportunities for growth and expansion
• Drive continuous improvement of project governance and delivery processes
