Senior digital project manager
Are you an experienced Digital Project Manager with a history of successfully managing projects for diverse clients? We're seeking a professional with a strong background in Scrum, adept at leading projects, sustaining long-term client relationships, and bringing out the best in their team.
At Lab Digital, the role of a Digital Project Manager encompasses the entire project lifecycle, from initial opportunity to offer, and from project inception to its further development and management. Our focus is firmly on customer satisfaction and the well-being of our team. As a Digital Project Manager, you will expertly navigate the balance between agile methodologies and meeting customer expectations regarding scope.
Your role will require balancing agile practices with client expectations, fitting seamlessly into our organization, maintaining project structure, and being deeply involved in both the content of the project and the development of your team.
Complex projects excite you, but you also find satisfaction in managing smaller accounts and fostering client relationships. Collaborating with a senior project manager, you will co-lead a team to devise solutions for client challenges, translating these into compelling project proposals. Once a project is green-lit, you will oversee its SCRUM-based development, ensuring alignment with agreed timelines and deliverables. Post-delivery, you will ensure the ongoing development and maintenance of the project, underpinned by clear agreements.
In this role, you are more than a project executor; you are a relationship builder, nurturing sustainable, long-term partnerships with clients. Beyond facilitating projects, you will identify and seize sales opportunities in collaboration with our commercial team. A key part of your role is to foster the development and welfare of your team members.
At Lab Digital, a Project Manager is the glue that holds the team together, from A to Z – from spotting opportunities to crafting offers, from kickstarting projects to steering their continued evolution, always with an eye for customer satisfaction and team well-being. We are on the lookout for someone with a proven track record in leading multidisciplinary teams, skilled in crafting project proposals, running sprints, mentoring team growth, and enhancing customer relationships.
Additionally, an appreciation for (digital) design, understanding the distinction between Java and JavaScript, and an ability to align with the strategic ambitions of clients will be highly valued.
