Freelance Development information

What is freelance development?

Freelance development refers to software development work done independently by individuals, rather than as a full-time employee of a company. Freelance developers are typically self-employed and take on projects for various clients, working remotely or on-site as needed. They may specialize in web development, mobile app development, or other programming areas, and manage their own schedules, contracts, and payments. This career path offers flexibility and variety, but also requires strong self-management and business skills.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a freelance developer?

To thrive as a Freelance Developer, you need strong programming skills, a solid grasp of software development principles, and a portfolio showcasing relevant experience, often supported by a degree or certifications in computer science or related fields. Familiarity with version control systems like Git, cloud platforms, and popular frameworks or languages (e.g., JavaScript, Python, React) is typically required. Excellent communication, time management, and self-motivation are essential soft skills for managing client relationships and meeting deadlines independently. These abilities are crucial for delivering high-quality work, maintaining client satisfaction, and sustaining a successful freelance career.

What are some common challenges freelance developers face when managing multiple projects, and how can they be addressed?

Freelance developers often juggle several projects at once, which can lead to challenges like managing deadlines, communicating with different clients, and maintaining consistent code quality. To address these issues, effective time management tools, clear communication practices, and robust project tracking systems are essential. Regular check-ins with clients, setting realistic expectations, and using version control platforms can help ensure smooth project delivery and client satisfaction.

We bring our community to work every day—honoring excellence, supporting local causes, and hosting meaningful events. If you're ready to make an impact alongside a collaborative, values-driven team, read on and apply today!

About the Role:

As our Marketing Project Manager, you will oversee the marketing team’s execution and lead projects from the initial brainstorming and research phase, straight through implementation or production, and on to debriefing and reporting. The Marketing Project Manager will carry out the vision of the Marketing Department as directed by the Marketing Director on a granular level. Marketing Project Managers will therefore manage the team of marketers, vendors, and support staff involved in the various marketing projects.

From determining the scope of a project to contributing to market research on the target customers, Marketing Project Managers typically begin their work early in the project life cycle. As the project’s foundation is established, they will assign tasks, set deadlines for team members, and determine the project’s budget and resource allocation requirements — all while adjusting over the course of the project’s duration. The Marketing Project Manager also manages team members including but not limited to performance, coaching, and development to better the marketing department.

What You’ll Do

  • Working alongside the marketing director to create the company’s marketing strategy.
  • Creating a project content calendar for all marketing initiatives.
  • Assisting in project/campaign deliverables where needed.
  • Building and maintaining external vendor relationships.
  • Creating project timelines and budgets.
  • Interdepartmental cooperation to assist in company efforts that involve marketing team members or deliverables.

  • Overall Marketing Department KPIs including:
    • Overall department ROI performance
    • Year over Year Revenue Growth
    • Year over Year Intake Volume Growth
  • Event planning, and execution when needed.
  • Identifying, developing, optimizing, and/or implementing required reports to advance performance and scale of all marketing efforts.

What We’re Looking For

  • 10 + year of Marketing Experience, with at least 5+ years of Omni-channel marketing team Leadership.
  • Bachelors in Business Administration, Marketing, Communications or similar Discipline
  • Project Management, Google Analytics, Adwords, IAB, Marketing CRM / Automation certifications are a plus.

Things You’ve Done in the Past

Soft skills: Marketing Project Managers must have the following soft skills.

  • Leadership: For a Marketing Project Manager to succeed, they need to be able to lead their team members, encouraging and directing them, as well as anticipating their strengths and weaknesses.
  • Communication: Communicating with team members, executive leadership, external stakeholders, vendors, and freelancers is an important skill for project management for marketing.
  • Analytical: Because a Marketing Project Manager has a role in planning a variety of campaign types, they need to be able to leverage marketing analytics and prioritize resources to maximize the outcome for their company or client.
  • Marketing: While project manager roles utilize many of the same philosophies and concepts, project management for marketing will need a specific expertise in marketing itself to be able to manage a full suite, omni-channel program, including but not limited to: digital marketing campaigns, website optimization and design, social media campaigns, television production, radio production, customer lifecycle marketing campaigns, loyalty program development, event coordination and execution, business development efforts, and community engagement.
  • Decision-making: The Marketing Project Manager experience involves at least some high-pressure situations, and Marketing Project Managers will be called upon to make informed decisions on a tight timeline.

Technical skills: In addition to the soft skills mentioned above, Marketing Project Managers should also have the following hard skills.

  • Resource allocation: Marketing resource management, the allocation of both human and budgetary resources, is critical to being a successful Marketing Project Manager. This skill will allow for added agility and flexibility as obstacles or bottlenecks arise.
  • Proficiency with project management tools: Ability to leverage a host of project management software options, including Wrike, to properly set deadlines, track resources, and ensure team member accountability.
  • Ability to set deadlines: Deadline forecasting and management across several projects simultaneously.
  • Task management: Project management for marketing consists of tens or hundreds of specific tasks. The Marketing Project Manager will need to manage and delegate these tasks effectively to ensure deadlines are met.
