Digital Project Manager: Help multidisciplinary teams deliver
quality work within budget throughout digital project life cycles.

The Digital Project Manager is responsible for coordinating the launch of a range of
digital projects such as corporate websites, mobile apps, e-commerce platforms,
software projects, and many more! They are in charge of ensuring the project runs
smoothly. This means making sure it’s completed on time, within the planned budget,
and that the quality of the delivered project is guaranteed. They need to keep both
your team members and clients happy along the way!

Their stakeholders (mainly developers, designers, online marketing specialists) will

count on them to choose the project management style that best meets the
challenges they’re facing. It could be an agile or more traditional workflow.

behalf of the team. This will either be an in-house client, such as another team, or an
external client if they’re working in an agency.

In this role, your main missions involve:

1. Establishing the customer need: analyzing the feasibility of a project, identifying

necessary resources, presenting the project outcomes.
2. Leading digital projects from A to Z: carrying out audits, setting up a test
protocol, managing sprints, modeling data, and launching the product to
market.
3. Ensuring compliance with the planning, quality requirements and budget of a
project: prioritizing, prototyping, continuous improvement,and reporting.
4. Federating stakeholders: managing internal and external conflicts and issues,
leading meetings.
5. Developing a web marketing strategy: implementing a content and SEO
strategy and managing web campaigns.
