Digital Project Manager in Leeds

We’re looking for a Digital Project Manager with at least 3 years’ experience to join our team at Pixelbuilders. If you’re an experienced PM who can work with our wider team to deliver a mix of large-scale website builds (typically 6–9 months) and ongoing BAU and sprint-based work for retained clients, we’d love to hear from you.

You’ll be joining a team of two experienced Project Managers, with the opportunity to take real ownership of projects and client relationships from day one. You’ll lead the delivery of digital projects across the full lifecycle; from early discovery and scoping, through design and development, to testing, launch and beyond.

Key responsibilities

• Managing multiple projects of varying size and technical depth simultaneously
• Leading client communication, building trust, not just providing updates
• Working closely with design, development and leadership teams
• Owning timelines, budgets and delivery quality
• Writing functional requirement specifications and briefs for your projects
• Supporting discovery and helping shape projects, not just deliver them
• Managing UAT and ensuring smooth, well-organised releases
• Proactively identifying risks, managing dependencies, and removing blockers
• Keeping projects commercially on track (not just “delivered”)

We’re looking for someone with at least 3 years’ experience in a digital agency or software environment, who’s comfortable taking ownership of projects with minimal oversight.

Skills and qualifications

• Experience managing large projects and fast-paced BAU work
• An ability to understand and manage projects that can be technically complex
• Strong communication skills: clear, confident, and proactive
• Experience running UAT and coordinating testing phases
• The ability to define, challenge and refine requirements (epics, user stories, acceptance criteria)
• A solid grip on timelines, budgets and resource planning
• Experience working with cross-functional teams (design, development, stakeholders)
• Strong attention to detail, while maintaining a clear view of the bigger picture

Nice to have, but not essential

• Familiarity with project management tools (e.g. Trello or similar)
• Experience with CMS platforms (e.g. Umbraco, Kentico or equivalent)
• Understanding of technical architecture / integrations with CRM platforms (Salesforce, HubSpot, Mailchimp etc.)
• Experience working in Agile, Waterfall or hybrid environments

You’ll thrive here if

• You’re organised, but not rigid
• You’re confident with clients, but not corporate
• You can juggle moving parts without dropping the detail
• You’re proactive, spotting problems early and dealing with them
• You care about delivering great work, not just ticking boxes

What we’re offering you

• Hybrid working, so you can work from home ANY three days per week
• Flexible start times, so you can start anytime between 8:00am and 9:30am each day
• You can take an hour long lunch, or just take a 30 minute lunch and finish an extra 30 mins early, it’s up to you
• A competitive salary based on your skills and experience
• Bonus opportunities and a company pension scheme
• Personal training budget available so you can grow, learn and progress, plus our bi-annual Pixel Expo where we collaborate, share and learn as a team
• Access to company perks from free cinema tickets to exclusive discounts
• 20 days holiday per year, plus bank holidays and on top of that, we close over Christmas and New Year too – you don’t need to worry about “saving holiday” for this
• Free tea, coffee, soft drinks, ice cream, crisps, fruit and biscuits in the office at all times
• A monthly Pixel lunch paid for by the company whether that’s a takeaway or a trip to a nearby restaurant
