Senior Web Project Manager

At Interactive Strategies, we know that Project Managers do more than just keep website projects moving on time and on budget; they are key to building happy client relationships and ensuring that internal teams have what they need to be successful. Therefore, we're looking for a detail-oriented and motivated self-starter who will bring not only strong PM skills, but positive energy and new ideas. We strive for excellence in all our work, and we know the PM team is a central element of all project success.

A Little About Us

We're a well-respected interactive agency in downtown Washington, DC, known for deep strategic thinking. We strive to cultivate a collaborative, innovative environment where people feel valued, respected, and free to push creative boundaries—all while finding balance between work, home, and life outside the office.

Responsibilities

We are looking for individuals who are skilled in the full spectrum of digital project management and will:

• Strive to represent our brand promise: details matter
• Own timeline and budget outcomes in projects
• Work collaboratively with Strategy, Design, Content, Development, and BA/QA departments to deliver best-in-class web projects aligned to project scope, on time and on budget
• Develop long-term client relationships by providing personal client service and communication. Clients should always feel informed and know that we have their best interest at heart
• Create project plans, schedules, budget and status reports and other deliverables that ensure website development projects are staying on time and on budget
• Create appropriate project documentation such as Teamwork tickets to help our internal teams understand what is expected of them, so that they deliver quality work in an efficient manner
• Collaborate with management to continually refine and enhance the company's overall website design and development process
• Collaborate with the Strategy Team to integrate new and innovative solutions that respond to internal and client needs
• Evaluate new business leads, engage in lead generation, and participate in proposal creation
• Represent the company to the larger web and marketing communities by occasionally engaging in conferences and networking opportunities
• Seek professional development and stay attuned to emerging web and marketing techniques

Who You Are

While we value your PM skills, your ability to thrive in our environment is equally important. Therefore, we're looking for a candidate with the following characteristics:

• Strategic. You understand communication is at the heart of creating a positive client experience and can maneuver through challenging situations with ease
• Creative. You bring passion to your work and find creative ways to problem-solve with clients
• Intuitive. You're someone with that uncanny ability to always think one step ahead and avoid problems before they happen
• Committed. You're committed to valuing diversity and contributing to an inclusive working and learning environment
• Accountable. You own your projects from start to finish and take responsibility for failures and successes
• Confident. You're professional and poised, whether you're brainstorming with our team, running meetings or making client presentations
• Entrepreneurial. You are a go-getter who can self-manage and work independently
• Passionate. You love what you do, give everything you've got, and are continually seeking ways to grow in your craft
• Friendly. You're a breath of fresh air. You work well with the team. You contribute ideas in a positive manner. You're also a great listener

What You Bring To The Table

We don't necessarily care how long you've been managing projects; more important is the passion and talent you bring to the table. With that said, it would be nice if you have the following experience:

• 7+ years experience managing complex comprehensive, integrated client projects. Preferably in an agency or client-facing environment
• Strong account management background
• Experience with content management systems such as Drupal, WordPress or Sitecore
• Knowledge of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and how it applies to custom CMS builds
• Experience with industry tools such as Teamwork, Smartsheet, Excel or other project management systems that are used to create schedules, budgets, status reports and more
• Experience in contract and budget management
• Experience writing functional and technical requirements
• Excellent written and oral communication skills

Why Join Us?

We have a simple motto when it comes to company culture, "Everyone deserves to come to work and be happy." This means a few things: (1) we care as much about quality as we do about budgets, (2) we find the strengths in each employee and nurture them, (3) we encourage a culture that values innovation and creative freedom, and (4) we want you to have fun while you're at the office. We may be an agency, but we understand that you have a life outside of work.

We allow our employees creative freedom. We treat them with respect. We value their opinions.
