Manager, Project Manager

About us

Appnovation is a global, full-service digital partner that combines Strategy, Experience & Design, Engineering and Managed Services. We build digital solutions that deliver real impact today and serve as foundations for future growth. Bold ambition. Practical action. Endless possibilities.

About the Role

We are seeking a strategic and technically fluent Project Manager to lead complex Web and CMS digital transformation initiatives. In this role, you will oversee the full project lifecycle — from discovery and solution design to development, launch, and post-launch optimization.

You will manage cross-functional teams including strategists, UX designers, architects, developers, and QA specialists while serving as the primary point of contact for enterprise clients.

This is an exciting opportunity for a delivery leader who thrives in fast-paced digital environments, understands modern web architecture and CMS ecosystems, and can balance technical complexity with commercial accountability. You will report to the Delivery Director and play a key role in driving successful, scalable digital platform implementations.

Key Responsibilities

Lead end-to-end delivery of enterprise-scale Web and CMS projects (replatforming, multi-site, headless implementations)

Manage project scope, budgets (£1M+), schedules, and profitability

Facilitate discovery workshops and translate business requirements into actionable delivery plans

Develop detailed project plans, timelines, RAID logs, and status reporting

Oversee resource planning, forecasting, and estimate-to-completion tracking

Identify and mitigate risks related to integrations, content migration, and technical architecture

Participate in pre-sales activities including RFP responses, scoping, and SOW development

Build strong client relationships and identify opportunities for growth and expansion

Drive continuous improvement of project governance and delivery processes

What we are looking for

Must-Have:

6+ years of Project Management experience in a digital agency or consulting environment

Proven experience delivering enterprise Web and CMS implementations (e.g., Drupal, AEM, Sitecore, headless CMS)

Strong understanding of modern web architecture and multi-platform integrations

Experience managing large client-facing teams and complex project logistics

Demonstrated financial management experience including revenue forecasting and margin tracking

Expertise in Agile and hybrid Agile/Waterfall delivery models

Excellent stakeholder written and verbal communication skills across business and technical audiences

Nice-to-Have:

Business analysis or requirements management experience

PMP, PMI-ACP, or Scrum Master certification

Experience working with global distributed teams

Familiarity with marketing technology ecosystems and digital governance

Who you are

You are commercially minded and understand the financial drivers of digital delivery

You are technically credible and comfortable engaging with architects and developers

You bring structure and clarity to complex, multi-workstream programs

You are proactive in identifying risks and solving problems before they escalate

You build trusted, long-term client relationships

You continuously seek opportunities to improve processes and delivery excellence
