What you'll bring

• Expert project management skills across a range of platforms, technologies, and delivery approaches.
• Confident leadership—able to inspire internal teams and external partners while managing multiple projects at pace.
• Strong technical grounding: understanding development workflows and CMS platforms (WordPress, Umbraco), and communicating technical detail simply.
• Senior-level client management skills, with the ability to build trusted, strategic relationships.
• Solid UX and design knowledge, enabling effective collaboration with design teams.
• Analytic ability with hands-on experience using GA, GTM, and performance measurement tools.
• Fluency with digital tools including Trello, Jira, Confluence, Figma and Adobe XD.
• Calm, constructive problem-solving—especially under pressure.
• Strong commercial awareness around forecasting, budgeting and profitability.
