Role: Project & Program Management

Rate: $65.00–$70.00 USD/hr

Skills: Project Manager, Project Budgeting, Project Scoping

We are seeking a Fractional Digital Agency Project Manager to join our Client Services team. In this role, you’ll help manage a portfolio of digital client engagements and serve as a highly responsive, embedded extension of the team.

This person should be comfortable stepping into active projects quickly, managing client communication, driving internal accountability, and keeping timelines, budgets, and deliverables moving. We’re looking for someone who can operate with a strong sense of ownership and feel like part of the team — not just an external coordinator.

**Please Note:

• This is a fractional contract role starting at 10–20 hours per week, with potential to expand based on project/client demand.

Responsibilities

• Manage multiple client project phases across digital engagements, including UX/UI design, software development, AI-related projects, and website/application builds.
• Ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and within scope while following established methodology and processes.
• Organize and facilitate client-facing meetings, including weekly status calls and working sessions.
• Create and maintain project plans, timelines, and other key project artifacts.
• Run internal stand-ups, sprint planning meetings, and help drive clarity around requirements, tasks, and ownership.
• Track project hours and budget against scope; flag risks, changes, and issues proactively.
• Create weekly status reports, milestone plans, and client-friendly progress updates.
• Coordinate internal resources and help ensure the team is aligned on priorities and next steps.
• Serve as the main point of contact for project-related client communications.
• Build strong working relationships with internal team members and client stakeholders.
• Help facilitate scope changes, estimates, and project expansion opportunities when relevant.

Requirements

• 5+ years of client-facing project management experience.
• Current or prior experience in a digital agency environment.
• Strong experience managing digital delivery across design, development, and cross-functional teams.
• Proven success running client-facing projects with a high degree of responsiveness and accountability.
• Strong Agile / Scrum experience.
• Experience with JIRA, Confluence, Harvest, Basecamp, or similar PM / delivery tools.
• Ability to operate independently in a fractional capacity while staying tightly integrated with the broader team.
• Strong communication skills and ability to keep both internal teams and clients aligned.

Nice to Have

• Experience managing mobile app projects.
• Experience supporting AI-related or emerging technology projects.
• Familiarity with enterprise-level clients and complex stakeholder environments.
