  • Turning client requests into clear briefs and actionable tasks
  • Coordinating internal teams, priorities, and deadlines
  • Keeping clients informed about progress, timings, and any changes
  • Monitoring project budgets and allocated time
  • Identifying risks or delays and addressing them early
  • Making sure completed work meets the agreed brief and quality standards
  • Maintaining accurate project information in our project management system

About You

You'll have:

  • Proven experience managing multiple projects simultaneously
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
  • Strong organisational and problem-solving abilities
  • Experience managing budgets, resources, timelines, and risks
  • The ability to get up to speed quickly and work independently

Desirable

  • PRINCE2, Agile, PMP, or similar project management certifications
  • Experience within a digital, technology, web, or agency environment

Why join webdna?

  • Work with an award-winning team delivering exciting digital projects
  • Join one of the world's leading Craft CMS agencies
  • Collaborative and supportive culture
  • Opportunity to make a real impact from day one

Apply

To apply, please send your CV and a brief summary of your availability and relevant experience to jobs@webdna.co.uk

To help us understand how you work, please answer these questions in your own words (around 100–200 words each). We're interested in your personal experiences and thought process rather than polished or AI-generated responses. Honest, specific answers are far more valuable to us than perfect ones.

  • Tell us about a time something didn’t go to plan at work. What happened, how did you respond, and what did you learn?
  • How do you organise your workload when you have several priorities and smaller requests competing for your attention?
  • Tell us about a time you had to manage a difficult or sensitive conversation. How did you approach it and what was the outcome?
  • If you joined webdna next Monday, what would you want to learn about the team, our clients, and how we work during your first week?
  • What do you enjoy most about working with clients and colleagues, and what do you sometimes find challenging?

No recruiters or recruitment agencies please.
