Web Project Manager

51 Labs is a full-service marketing partner to private equity firms and their portfolio companies. They are seeking a Web Project Manager to oversee the website offering, managing the entire process from discovery to launch while ensuring high standards and client satisfaction.

Responsibilities:

• Take full ownership of the website service line, from intake through launch and handover
• Run the production pipeline, track every project and deadline, and keep work on time and on target
• Learn and operate within our software and project management systems
• Lead discovery meetings: understand the client, positioning, what the site actually has to accomplish
• Translate what a client asks for into a written scope, sitemap, and timeline the team can execute against
• Identify dependencies early and handle change requests before they turn into missed launch dates
• Direct designers through wireframe, design, and revision cycles, and hold the creative bar high
• Brief developers and manage the build through to a working staging site
• Coordinate copy, content migration, and asset collection
• Own QA: cross-browser and mobile review, forms, page speed, accessibility basics, and analytics setup
• Run client review and user acceptance testing, then prioritize fixes against the launch date
• Own launch day: DNS, redirects, indexing, and post-launch checks
• Serve as the primary point of contact for your accounts, and the person the client calls when something breaks
• Report status, risks, and decisions in writing on a predictable cadence
• Hold scope and timeline with the client directly
• Manage designers and developers
• Provide a second, senior layer of QC and direction so leadership is not the bottleneck
• Build and manage the team as volume scales
• Connect website work to the rest of the engagement - branding, LinkedIn, content, video - so the site matches how the client shows up everywhere else
• Elevate 51 Labs’ own web presence, and build reusable standards, components, and documented process

Requirements:

• 3-5 years managing website design and development projects, agency or client-services side
• Launches you personally owned end to end - you can name the timeline, team, and budget
• Experience as the named client contact, rather than working behind an account lead
• Fluency with WordPress and comparable CMS platforms, Figma handoff, staging environments, QA
• Comfortable using AI tools, for example, to accelerate wireframing, QA testing, copy drafting, and technical SEO audits
• Enough technical literacy to brief a developer, diagnose a front-end problem, and hold your own on hosting, analytics, and technical SEO
• Experience directing or managing designers, developers, or freelancers
• Confidence in front of senior executives, and the ability to run a client call unaccompanied
• Location: Atlanta candidates preferred, remote possible, relocation expenses may be supported
• Prior experience with agencies or clients in finance or private equity
• Hands-on range in design or CMS build (for example, page assembly or light front-end work)
