- Participate in pre-sales activities including RFP responses, scoping, and SOW development
- Build strong client relationships and identify opportunities for growth and expansion
- Drive continuous improvement of project governance and delivery processes
Must-Have:
- 6+ years of Project Management experience in a digital agency or consulting environment
- Proven experience delivering enterprise Web and CMS implementations (e.g., Drupal, AEM, Sitecore, headless CMS)
- Strong understanding of modern web architecture and multi-platform integrations
- Experience managing large client-facing teams and complex project logistics
- Demonstrated financial management experience including revenue forecasting and margin tracking
- Expertise in Agile and hybrid Agile/Waterfall delivery models
