What are the responsibilities and job description for the Web Project Manager position at SURFACE 51?
We see you. You’re a proactive problem-solver. Your attention to detail and sharp leadership skills are legendary. Your commitment to processes, exceptional. But you’ve also got creative ideas—and you’re here to share them. If you’re ready to work alongside other creatives to consistently and seamlessly deliver quality results that exceed client expectations, SURFACE 51 wants you! We’re looking for a productive, outgoing, and motivated project manager to join our team.
What you bring:
- Excellent interpersonal, written and verbal communication skills to work with clients, in-house designers, and developers. You’re comfortable in person, on screen, on the phone, or IM. You’re a communicator, first and foremost.
- The ability to translate technical issues, even to non-technical audiences.
- Experience managing development work on complex sites – you have working knowledge of HTML, CSS, Javascript and background using content management systems like WordPress or Drupal.
- Attention to detail – you have the ability to do QA as an important part of managing dev work.
- Able to seamlessly complete multiple tasks for multiple clients, accurately and on deadline.
- Effective team management capabilities that help teams to perform at their best.
- Plus: you’re decisive, manage time well, get things done, set and meet goals.
Making coffee will come in handy, too. Gotta keep those developers caffeinated, after all!
What you get:
- A full-time job and benefits.
- A competitive salary commensurate with skills, experience – and your ability to make ideas work.
- Paid vacations, holidays, and happy hours!
- A steady stream of projects – you’ll flex your creative muscles and avoid the doldrums of everyday sameness.
- A supportive, dynamic work setting. Plus, the opportunity to build creative, impactful projects with a close-knit team.
- Great location—we’re based in downtown Champaign, Illinois, a high-tech research hub that’s home to one of the world’s premier universities, startups, Fortune 500 firms, Big Ten sports, and thriving food and arts scene. Oh, not to mention strong schools and a stress-free commute!
