Senior Web Project Manager / Delivery Lead - Contract to Hire

(US-Based | Eastern or Central Time | Contract → Leadership Track)

This is not an entry-level PM role.

If you have not personally delivered complex web or e-commerce projects end-to-end, this role will not be a fit.

We are a growing digital studio looking for a senior Web Project Manager / Delivery Lead to own delivery across client web and e-commerce projects and collaborate closely with our internal team.

This role requires deep web experience, strong delivery instincts, and high responsiveness.

Location & Availability (Non-Negotiable)

• United States–based contractors only

• Must be located in Eastern or Central Time

• Required to be online and responsive during standard US business hours

• This is a collaborative delivery role, not async-only work

• Quick responses to Slack and email are expected

• Active participation in project calls, reviews, and internal coordination is required

If you prefer fully async, low-touch PM work, this will not be a fit.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

You will own delivery, not just track tasks.

• Manage web and e-commerce projects from strategy → content → wireframes → design → development → launch

• Translate client conversations into clear, developer-ready requirements

• Run kickoff calls, milestone check-ins, and client updates

• Catch inconsistencies between strategy decisions, design outputs, and development execution before they become problems

• Keep projects moving when clients stall or requirements are incomplete

• Ensure developers have clean inputs and clear direction

• Document approvals, changes, and scope decisions

• Manage multiple projects simultaneously without loss of momentum

You’ll collaborate closely with:

• the business owner

• a development manager

• designers and developers

You are expected to drive projects forward, not wait for direction.

Required Experience (Strict Filter)

Please do not apply unless you meet all of the following:

• 10+ years experience managing professional web projects

• Hands-on experience delivering e-commerce websites (Shopify, WooCommerce, or custom builds)

• Strong understanding of:

• web architecture

• CMS platforms

• content strategy

• wireframing and design handoff

• front-end vs back-end considerations

• Ability to read developer notes, ask intelligent questions, and identify risks early

• Proven ability to move projects forward with incomplete or evolving information

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

This role is not for PMs who avoid technical topics or rely entirely on others to interpret requirements.

What This Role Is NOT

• Not a task-only coordinator

• Not a meeting scheduler

• Not a process-enforcer without delivery accountability

• Not a junior PM role

• Not a place to learn web fundamentals on the job

We need someone who already understands how web projects break — and how to prevent it.

Contract & Growth Opportunity

• Contractor role to start

• Immediate project work available

• High-performing contractors can quickly grow into a senior delivery or management role

• Opportunity to take ownership of larger initiatives as trust is established

This is a role for someone who wants to build leverage, not just log hours.

How to Apply (Required)

To be considered, please include:

• A brief overview of your web and e-commerce project experience

• 2–3 examples of complex web projects you personally managed

• A short explanation of how you handle:

• conflicting strategy vs design decisions

• mid-project requirement changes

Applications that skip these steps will not be reviewed.

Final Note

We value ownership, responsiveness, and delivery.

If you take pride in launching real web projects — on time, with clarity, and without chaos — we’d love to talk.
