Our Journey
Our journey began with just myself (Lewis Davis) designing and developing websites. After a few years, I brought in a designer and a developer to assist me, allowing us to tackle bigger and better projects together. Now, with a team of designers and developers, we work on various projects for clients, ranging from small clinics to large airlines.
While I remain hands-on with every project, I need support. I’m looking for a project manager with experience in managing web design and development projects or someone with an understanding of this process who is eager to transition into project management. Your role will be to lighten the load by leading projects from start to finish.
This position is a hybrid role combining digital project management and client support. You won’t just be managing projects; you may also undertake project-related tasks, such as obtaining quotes from contractors, sourcing assets, providing feedback to designers and developers, entering content into websites and testing. After completing a project, you’ll also manage ongoing support requests, ensuring they are logged with the relevant development team and completed to the client’s satisfaction. In return, you will enjoy the flexibility to work from home and from our office in central Guildford, Surrey once a week. You’ll work on exciting projects for large companies and smaller, rewarding projects for our valued clients. We prioritise quality over quantity, taking on work where we, as a small team, can deliver an outstanding service and enjoy positive relationships with our clients over many years.
If this is or could be you, I’d love to find out more about you.
