In this role, you will be responsible for overseeing complex, technical Ecommerce website and application development projects, such as website migrations, system integrations, and optimizations for large and medium-sized US Enterprise merchants, distributors, and brands. This position requires a candidate with a proven track record in a professional services or agency environment, particularly in managing projects that involve significant technical requirements and cross-functional collaboration.

• Develop comprehensive project plans, including detailed task lists, resource allocation, and realistic timelines.
• Produce and maintain key project documentation (charters, schedules, risk mitigation plans, status reports) aligned with our adaptive SDLC model.
• Facilitate effective collaboration among development teams to ensure smooth execution of deliverables, covering areas like system design, development, testing, and deployment.
• Continuously monitor project progress, address issues, and mitigate risks proactively to achieve project milestones.
• Conduct regular status meetings and provide transparent updates to stakeholders on project progress, risks, and any changes.
• Foster effective communication within distributed teams, ensuring all members understand project goals, roles, and expectations.
• Conduct post-project evaluations, incorporating insights and lessons learned into future project approaches.
• Stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and Ecommerce best practices to enhance project delivery and add value to client engagements.

Qualifications:

• Proven background in managing high-complexity Ecommerce technology projects, including platform implementations, migrations, system integrations, and website optimizations.
• Significant experience as a Senior Project Manager within a Digital Commerce Agency, Systems Integrator, or similar professional services environment.
• Strong familiarity with leading Ecommerce platforms (BigCommerce, Shopify, Salesforce SFCC, Adobe Magento) and headless/composable web applications.
• Strong practical understanding of modern web technologies, composable web application concepts.
• Solid knowledge of adaptive / Agile project management methodologies, tools, and practices.
• Proficient in project management software and collaboration tools (e.g., JIRA, Asana, MS Project, etc.).
• Excellent leadership skills and ability to motivate and manage cross-functional distributed teams.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills to engage effectively with clients, team members, and stakeholders.
• Problem-solving and decision-making abilities to handle complex project challenges and deliver solutions.
• Results-oriented mindset with a focus on delivering high-quality solutions on time and within budget.
• Business English fluency, native or C2 proficiency level.
• Active US work authorization required.
