Website Project Manager

Keep Things Moving

Our Website Project Managers oversee the planning, execution, and delivery of website projects. From the project handoff to launch of the website, the Project Manager's primary role is to ensure a smooth experience for both the client and our internal team members assigned to the project.

 

This role coordinates work assignment and deadlines, and provides quality control for the design and development teams to ensure website projects meet client requirements and are completed within the target timeframe. Balancing acceptable trade-offs between scope, time, and budget become second nature, and keeping the client updated and engaged along the way makes this role the linchpin in our production process.

 

This person must be detail-oriented and have the organizational skills to keep both themselves and our production team on task at all times. Strong communication skills are required as our project management team works directly with Cybernautic customers and significantly contributes to their overall experience with the company.

• Provide effective and timely communication with stakeholders — in addition to regular project updates, this includes leading meetings, ensuring all required project assets are gathered in a timely manner, providing the client with website Editor training, etc.

• Determine the tasks, roles, and responsibilities required for the project and coordinate with other PM staff to assemble individuals with appropriate knowledge, skills, and experience.
• Encourage and assist project teams to actively participate by establishing open and positive relationships; by appealing to their needs, values, and goals; and by involving, entrusting, recognizing, and supporting team members.
