Senior Web Project Manager / Delivery Lead - Contract to Hire

🌍 Remote, USA 🎯 Full-time πŸ• Posted Recently

Job Description

(US-Based | Eastern or Central Time | Contract β†’ 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 β†’ content β†’ wireframes β†’ design β†’ development β†’ 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 β€” 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 β€” on time, with clarity, and without chaos β€” we’d love to talk.
