Digital Project Manager

At Union, change isn’t just something we talk about – it’s what we do. 

Working with an exciting and diverse portfolio of clients, we’re looking for a Digital Project Manager to own delivery across a range of digital projects. From website builds to ongoing platform development, you’ll turn strategy into shipped work - on time, on budget, and to the standard we expect. 

This role sits between Account Management and Delivery, ensuring projects are clearly scoped, properly planned and executed without friction. You’ll take ownership of projects end-to-end, making day-to-day decisions and escalating when it matters

The opportunity 

No two projects are the same. 

You’ll work across a mix of clients and digital products, taking ownership of delivery from initial scope through to launch and beyond. This is a hands-on role where you’ll shape how projects are run, improve processes, and build strong relationships with both internal teams and clients. 

You’ll be trusted to manage multiple projects simultaneously, balancing timelines, budgets and quality - ensuring everything moves forward and nothing gets stuck. 

Your role

  • Own projects end-to-end: scope → plan → build → QA → launch → support
  • Define and document scope clearly, including Statements of Work
  • Translate strategy into actionable tasks, tickets and briefs
  • Select and run appropriate delivery approaches (Agile, waterfall or hybrid)
  • Manage RAID logs, identifying and resolving risks early
  • Brief internal teams clearly and effectively
  • Run QA cycles to ensure work meets functional and quality standards
  • Ensure all work is signed off before client delivery
  • Maintain clear, accurate and up-to-date project documentation
  • Track budgets, burn rates and timelines
  • Identify and manage out-of-scope work, including cost implications
  • Support resourcing across development, creative and marketing teams
  • Manage live site tickets and ongoing maintenance
  • Create CMS guides and support client handover post-launch
  • Enable Account Managers with knowledge of delivered work
  • Contribute to client conversations where delivery or technical input is required 

The ideal change-maker 

This role suits someone who thrives on ownership and delivery in a fast-paced agency environment. You will be: 

  • Experienced in delivering digital projects end-to-end (2-4+ years)
  • Confident working across web builds (Drupal beneficial, not essential)
  • Knowledgeable across UX, design, development, content and marketing
  • Comfortable working in Agile, Waterfall or hybrid environments
  • Strong at scoping, budgeting and timeline management
  • Able to write clear requirements, user stories and documentation
  • A clear communicator who can translate technical detail into plain English
  • Highly organised, managing multiple projects simultaneously
  • Proactive, taking ownership without needing direction
  • Detail-focused, with a strong commitment to quality 

At Union, diversity isn’t a box-checking exercise — we look to employ the best talent in the market; regardless of gender, orientation, class, culture or ethnicity. The ability to think differently is the lifeblood that fuels our ethos of change. If you can outperform, outthink, and outdo, we want you. 

The obvious stuff

  • Competitive compensation to match your role
  • Investing in your growth with training
  • Benefits from pensions to life cover
  • Ample holiday time, for you to recharge and reflect
  • Opportunity for enlightenment through IPA CPD and Union Academy initiatives
  • Flexible working that bends to life’s rhythm
