Lead Website Project Manager
Contract | Remote
BX Studio is seeking a Lead Project Manager to own complex website projects from kickoff to clean close. Reporting to the Director of Project Management, you will run a portfolio of fixed-scope website builds and weekly optimization retainers, plan them with rigor, protect scope and budget, keep clients and delivery teams aligned, and direct the Project Managers staffed on your projects. This is a hands-on role for someone who is at their best when handed a hard project and trusted to deliver it.
Key Responsibilities
- Project Ownership: Own a portfolio of fixed-scope website builds and weekly optimization retainers from kickoff through launch and close. You are the project's owner and the client's day-to-day lead. When a project drifts, re-plan it, reset expectations with the client, and see it through to a clean close.
- Project Planning: Build complete project plans for $50K to $100K+ website engagements: phases, milestones, review windows, and resourcing.
- Scope & Budget Management: Identify scope and budget risk at kickoff. Track budget against plan in Harvest, and lead change order conversations with clients.
- Project Manager Direction & Onboarding: Assign and direct the work of the Project Managers on your projects. Review their plans, boards, and client updates, give regular feedback, and coach them to plan with the same rigor. Onboard new Project Managers to BX Studio's process and tools when they join your projects.
- Delivery Execution: Keep boards current with clear owners and due dates,
and run milestone check-ins with development and QA. Keep cross-functional partners aligned to committed timelines.
- Client Communication: Give clients proactive, concise updates on status, risks, and decisions needed, and hold them to agreed review windows.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work directly with technical leads, designers, and account managers to resolve delivery friction. Escalate to the Director of Project Management early when a risk or conflict is beyond what you can resolve.
- Process Improvement: Follow the playbooks and templates set by the Director of Project Management, and share what you learn from your projects so delivery gets more repeatable.
Required
- Experience: 5+ years delivering websites or digital products in an agency environment.
- Track Record: Demonstrated success delivering multi-phase website projects on time and on budget, including recovering projects that drifted.
- Planning Depth: Able to scope, estimate, and plan a multi-phase website build from scratch, including realistic client review cycles.
- Commercial Judgment: Comfortable leading scope and change order conversations with clients and holding to signed agreements.
- Leadership: Experience directing, mentoring, or coaching project managers or other team members, including part time and contract team members across time zones.
- Communication: Clear, concise written and verbal communication with clients and delivery teams.
- Tools: Proficiency with Asana, Harvest, Slack, and Notion. Webflow experience is a strong plus.
