Digital Project Lead

Our agency partner is looking for an accomplished Digital Project Lead to join their team. If you love taking the reins on complex digital projects, guiding multi‑disciplinary teams, and building brilliant client relationships, this could be your next move.

With 8+ years’ agency experience, you’ll bring deep expertise in web development, delivery leadership, and digital strategy—along with the confidence to lead projects that matter.

About the agency: This agency is a high‑growth business with a unique model. Their core team is intentionally lean, supported by a scalable network of the very best freelance talent—giving the agility of a boutique agency with the firepower of a 35–100+ person team.

They put flexibility, wellbeing and personal growth at the heart of everything they do. There’s no ego and no old‑school agency chaos—just a collaborative, relaxed, open culture where everyone gets stuck in and celebrates wins together.

They work across a diverse range of sectors, helping clients shape strategies across both digital and physical experiences.

✨ What you’ll be doing

• 🚀 Leading end‑to‑end delivery of large, complex digital and web development projects—from brief to launch.
• 🤝 Acting as a senior partner to clients: shaping scopes, supporting pitches, and deepening long‑term relationships.
• 📈 Working closely with agency leadership to onboard new projects and support growth across the business.
• 👥 Guiding and motivating Digital Client Managers and freelance specialists.
• 💼 Owning project commercials—budgeting, forecasting, and ensuring strong profitability across accounts.
• 📊 Reporting on performance, KPIs and learnings, and identifying opportunities to optimise.

💡 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.

If you’re a senior digital project manager adept at keeping things on budget, on time and to the highest standard, we’d love to hear from you.
