Job description

We’re seeking an experienced, highly motivated Senior Digital Project Manager to lead the delivery of a variety of projects including enterprise-level website builds from kickoff to launch and beyond. You’ll manage multiple complex projects keeping them on schedule, on budget, and to the highest standards of quality, accessibility, and performance.

This is remote role, 20-30 hours per week. You’ll bring a deep understanding of UX, web design, and modern web delivery, along with fluency in emerging AI tools and workflows. Experience in healthcare providers, health tech, or med device is a plus, as is experience with other complex, regulated digital experiences. This is a contract position with high potential for permanent hire.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end delivery of enterprise website builds, redesigns, and migrations: scope, plan, budget, schedule, and launch.
• Manage timelines, budgets, and resources across multiple concurrent projects, using Agile, Scrum, or hybrid approaches suited to each engagement.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams, including account managers, UX/UI designers, developers, content strategists, SEO and analytics specialists, and client stakeholders.
• Own quality assurance: lead functional, cross-browser/device, content, and accessibility QA, and ensure defects are triaged and resolved before launch.
• Champion standards for accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA), performance (Core Web Vitals), SEO, security, and privacy, building them into project plans and definitions of done rather than treating them as late-stage checks.
• Plan and manage launches and migrations, including content migration, redirect mapping, SEO preservation, go-live readiness, and post-launch support.
• Identify risks and resolve issues proactively, managing scope, change control, and dependencies, and escalating with clear options and recommendations.
• Communicate clearly and regularly with internal teams and clients on status, risks, decisions, and next steps.
• Apply AI thoughtfully to improve project workflows (planning, documentation, QA support, reporting, content operations) and evaluate where AI-assisted design and development can speed delivery, with appropriate human review and client-approved usage.
• Support content and light technical tasks as needed, such as updating content in client CMS platforms and making basic HTML/CSS edits.

Required Qualifications

• 7-10 years of digital project management experience, including multiple enterprise-scale website or web application projects delivered from inception to launch.
• Proficiency with Agile and Scrum practices (sprint planning, backlog management, retrospectives) and the ability to adapt methodology to project needs.
• Hands-on experience with project management tools such as Asana or Jira, including reporting, resource tracking, and workflow setup.
• Working knowledge of the modern web ecosystem: CMS platforms (traditional and headless), component-based front-end frameworks, design systems, APIs and integrations, and cloud hosting/CI/CD workflows. You don’t need to code them, but you must understand them well enough to scope, sequence, and challenge estimates.
• Proficiency in HTML/CSS and CMS content editing for quick, accurate updates.
• Solid understanding of UX principles, accessibility standards, and web QA practices.
• Strong budget, scope, and change-order management skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, including requirements gathering, stakeholder alignment, and executive-level status reporting.
• Meticulous attention to detail, strong prioritization, and the ability to juggle multiple projects.
• A client-focused, collaborative mindset.
• Demonstrated curiosity about emerging technologies and AI tools, with sound judgment about when and how to use them.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in healthcare providers, health tech, or medical devices, or other regulated industries.
• Familiarity with healthcare privacy and compliance considerations (HIPAA, consent management, tracking technologies, and data handling in marketing and web contexts).
• Experience with web analytics and tag management (GA4, GTM), A/B testing, and conversion optimization.
• Experience managing large-scale content migrations, multi-site or multilingual builds, or platform re-platforming.
• Exposure to enterprise DXP/CMS platforms such as Drupal, Sitecore, Adobe Experience Manager, WordPress VIP, Contentful, or Sanity.
• PMP, CSM, PSM, or similar certification.
