You bring clarity to ambiguity, proactively manage risk, and ensure clients are informed, supported, and confident throughout both project-based and retainer-based engagements.

This position does not include direct people management responsibilities but requires strong leadership presence, executive communication skills, and close partnership with project managers, strategists, designers, and developers.
What You'll Do

• Own senior-level client relationships for complex website builds and ongoing support accounts.

• Develop a deep understanding of each client’s business goals, organizational dynamics, constraints, and success metrics.

• Proactively identify risks related to scope creep, budget burn, resourcing constraints, timeline slippage, or stakeholder misalignment.

• Clearly communicate risks early with recommended mitigation strategies.

• Escalate issues appropriately to Client Services and Department Leadership, ensuring clients are never surprised.

• Frame escalations with context, options, and recommendations rather than problems alone.

• Partner closely with Project Managers and hybrid PM/Producers to ensure delivery remains aligned with client expectations and contractual commitments, and serve as a hybrid Account and Project Manager on smaller engagements when appropriate.

• Ensure project plans, milestones, and priorities are clearly understood and documented.

• Hold both teams and clients accountable to agreed-upon decisions, approvals, and timelines.

• Step in when delivery challenges arise to reset expectations, reframe priorities, or realign stakeholders.

• Own high-level budget awareness across projects and ongoing support engagements.

• Proactively monitor burn, forecast risk, and flag potential overages early.

• Partner with Client Services Leadership on change orders, scope adjustments, and account expansion conversations.

• Clearly document decisions related to scope, budget, and tradeoffs to ensure alignment as the engagement moves forward.

• Identify roadmap-driven opportunities to grow accounts in alignment with client goals.

• Serve as a calm, steady presence during high-pressure moments for both clients and internal teams.

• Model strong communication, emotional intelligence, and accountability.

• Contribute to process improvements, documentation standards, and best practices.

• Mentor junior team members through guidance, clarity, and by setting the example.

• Proven experience managing complex, website builds and ongoing support engagements on Wordpress, Drupal, and/or Shopify.

• Strong understanding of website strategy, design, and development workflows.
