Akcelo is an independent Brand Experience agency delivering powerful brand moments that people love. We fuse creativity with experience design to solve business problems, unlock white-space opportunities and transform customer experiences for some of the world’s most iconic brands.
We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager with a passion for digital, technology and bringing beautifully crafted brand experiences to life across websites, apps, e-commerce platforms and consumer-facing digital products. Someone who understands the moving parts of technical delivery, speaks the language of designers and engineers, and can confidently navigate the details that sit beneath the surface. If you love turning complex technical requirements into clear delivery plans, collaborating closely with engineering leads, and managing multidisciplinary teams to deliver digital experiences with pace and excellence, this is the role for you.
You’re a natural organiser and problem solver who remains calm under pressure. You’re curious about how things work, ask great questions, and can anticipate dependencies before they become blockers. You champion high-quality design and brand integrity just as much as technical precision, bringing the best of both worlds together.
What your day-to-day might look like
- Scoping digital projects including websites, microsites, enterprise builds, apps, e-commerce platforms and consumer promotions
- Working closely with Technical Leads, Developers, QA and Analysts to define assumptions, technical requirements, effort estimates and implementation plans
- Leading cross-functional delivery teams to ensure high-quality execution across UX, UI, design, content, engineering and QA
- Managing sprints, production schedules, dependencies, backlog refinement and release planning
- Collaborating with Experience Designers to translate journeys, flows and prototypes into build-ready outputs
- Facilitating requirement gathering, acceptance criteria definition, platform evaluations and technical discovery
- Overseeing quality assurance cycles including UAT, defect triage, regression and release management
- Building strong relationships with clients, engineering partners and suppliers to maintain alignment and momentum
- Managing risks and proactively creating mitigation paths that keep builds moving smoothly
- Ensuring project financials, scope, resourcing and forecasts remain accurate and transparent
- Identifying opportunities to optimise delivery, enhance technical outcomes or streamline processes
- Holding a high bar for craft across both the engineering and visual design sides of the work
To thrive in this role, you’ll need
- Proven experience delivering digital or technology-led projects within an agency or product environment
- Minimum 7+ years experience in Project Management delivery
- A strong working knowledge of web and app delivery processes, even if you’re not technical yourself
- The ability to collaborate deeply with engineering teams and understand the implications of technical decisions
- Experience with sprint methodologies, agile delivery or hybrid project approaches
- Confidence managing technical scopes, schedules, risks and interdependencies
- Excellent communication and documentation skills that keep teams and clients aligned
- A proactive, solutions-focused mindset and the ability to problem-solve quickly
- Appreciation for high-quality brand and visual identity execution
- Familiarity with CMS tools, digital platforms, e-commerce systems or promotional tech is advantageous
- Familiarity with the process of creative concepting within an agency environment is advantageous
- Familiarity with managing upfront strategic research programs of work, where the insights derived are taken into design and implementation would be strongly preferred
