Job Brief

The I.F.

What You'll Do

Specifically the Digital Project Manager will manage large website redesign projects through the following phases:

  • Pre-Sales: Participate in RFP interviews and pre-sales conversations as requested.
  • Discovery & Definition: Conduct project planning, work with Research, Content, and Design teams to begin aligning with the client.
  • Design & Planning: Coordinate with Content, Design, and the client to define the new website
  • Development & Training: Conduct sprint plannings and track development tasks and client training to execute against the new website design and features.
  • Launch & Post Launch: Bring it all together to launch the new site and immediately support the client through a post-launch bug sprint.
  • Evolution & Support: Work closely with the client and Evolution and Support resources to transition our clients to ongoing support and care for the client.

The digital project manager will also participate in the following:

  • Business Development: Besides managing the team and the project, the I.F. Digital Project Managers will work with clients and understand their needs. This includes building a foundation of trust to safeguard and shepherd the interests of our clients and their users.
  • Account Management: The I.F. Digital Project Managers will help set and adjust the client’s expectations to find the balance between excellent delivery and staying within scope. The PM will take responsibility for the client's contributions to the project and be proactive in communicating progress, opportunities and risks for the team and project.
  • Quality Assurance: The end result of an I.F. website project should be work so exceptional that our clients recommend us without being asked. The I.F. Digital Project Manager will work closely with the project team to build quality into every phase of the project using experience and direct communication to do what is best, versus what is merely expedient.
