The opportunity
We are looking for a Senior Project Manager to lead the delivery of complex digital platforms and large-scale website programmes within a growing, employee-owned digital agency.

This role is suited to someone who thrives on ownership. You will lead multi-workstream projects from discovery through to launch, working across integration-heavy platforms, ecommerce and payment journeys, logged-in experiences, complex CMS builds and content-rich website rebuilds.

You will operate at the centre of delivery, aligning clients, technical teams and third-party partners while maintaining control of scope, timelines, budgets and commercial performance.

As a Senior Project Manager, you will take full responsibility for end-to-end delivery across complex digital projects, ensuring clarity, control and commercial rigour throughout.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading projects from discovery and definition through to launch and handover
• Creating and maintaining delivery plans, timelines, critical paths and project governance
• Managing RAID, dependencies, release planning and multiple workstreams
• Managing scope, budgets, forecasting, profitability and change control
• Coordinating developers, designers, clients and third-party partners
• Working closely with technical leads across integrations, authentication, data flows and ecommerce functionality
• Building trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders and managing expectations
• Managing resourcing, project reporting and account health
• Overseeing QA, testing, content migration and successful handover
• Supporting and mentoring more junior Project Managers

What we are looking for
Essential experience:

• Proven experience leading large and complex digital projects end to end
• Experience delivering integration-heavy platforms, ecommerce/payment journeys, logged-in experiences or complex CMS websites
• Experience managing multi-workstream projects, ideally in the 2,000-3,000+ hour range
• Strong project governance including RAID, dependencies, critical paths and change control
• Strong senior client and stakeholder management
• Commercial ownership across budgets, forecasting, profitability and invoicing
• Experience coordinating multidisciplinary teams and third-party partners
• Confidence working closely with technical teams and understanding technical dependencies
• Experience managing multiple concurrent projects in a fast-paced environment

Desirable experience:

• Digital agency or client-services background
• Complex content migrations and large content estates
• Agile, Waterfall and phased delivery experience
• People leadership or mentoring experience

About you
You’ll be an experienced digital Project Manager who is comfortable taking ownership of complex, high-stakes delivery. You’ll be organised, commercially aware and confident managing senior clients, technical teams and multiple workstreams.

You don’t need to be a developer, but you should be technically confident enough to ask the right questions, understand dependencies and translate complexity into clear plans and communication.
