We are seeking a contract / fractional digital project manager to join our team.

A Digital Project Manager at Equalize Digital is not just a task manager, but a strategic contributor to every project. Digital Project Managers oversee the successful delivery of Equalize Digital's service-based offerings, including new website builds, accessibility remediation of existing websites, and legacy marketing work. They work closely with our content specialists, developers, accessibility specialists, and clients to ensure projects run smoothly and on time, with minimal intervention from the executive team.

Individuals who are results-driven and who value environments with a high degree of autonomy will thrive in this role. You must be detail-oriented, able to communicate with co-workers and clients clearly and understand WordPress and web project processes.

Provide support to the team, including scheduling meetings, internal check-ins, drafting and posting meeting notes, developing lists of action items, and communicating assignments, deadlines, and needs to ensure the project follows the proposed schedule. Ensure superior quality deliverables by completing rigorous Q/A processes in collaboration with our CTO and accessibility specialists, and enforcing standards to provide end-to-end delivery and client satisfaction. Lead discovery engagements that expertly define cross-discipline project requirements and demonstrate an expert understanding of underlying client business goals and objectives. Consistently track and analyze project progress and budget burn, escalate concerns and/or risks, then mitigate appropriately. Identify opportunities to improve internal processes and documentation, particularly around our productized audit and remediation services. Essential Skills
