Sr. Web Project Specialist (Remote)

Senior Web Project Specialist (Remote)

Attention Applicants: Please be vigilant when receiving, reviewing, or responding to emails from TrendyMinds regarding your application. Legit correspondence will be handled through our HR platform NOT a TrendyMinds email address.

We're looking for a Sr. Web Project Specialist to join our Development Studio.

We're looking for a keen, detail-oriented Web Project Specialist to join our Web Project Team, serving both enterprise and mid-tier clients. At TrendyMinds, the Web Project Team is responsible for the strategy, execution, and daily management of our web projects.

The Sr. Web Project Specialist manages the implementation and day-to-day operations for assigned web projects. The ability to produce and track successful personalized action plans for each client in order to execute goals is imperative. Championing forward-thinking and confidence, as well as building and maintaining strong, trusted relationships with clients and internal team members are key responsibilities of this role.

Our ideal candidate is passionate about our Development Studio specialty areas (information architecture, user experience, and development) and the products we create (websites, landing pages, apps, and more).

Responsibilities

As a Sr. Web Project Specialist, you will:

• Manage expectations. You understand the importance of under-promising and over-delivering. And you're great at helping our clients achieve their goals without sacrificing the sleeping and eating habits of your team members.
• Maintain the pulse. Lead milestones and tasks of assigned web projects (via our project management tools), including production resource allocations, capacity constraints, and efficiency improvements.
• Strategize first. Develop and utilize project strategies, timelines, and technical requirements to meet the business objectives of clients while also considering industry standards and best practices.
• Get in the weeds. You understand how our web products function, or at least enough to be dangerous, and use this understanding to ask current and prospective clients questions in order to successfully plan, scope, and outline our approach for web projects.
• Stick to the budget. Not only are you wise with our client's money, but you also know how to manage the scope of work and discuss the status of the project scope at key milestones with your internal team members and clients.
• Brew ideas. We prefer strong creative and communications skills, with an emphasis in user experience and functionality. Get ready to brainstorm with the best of them.
• Eat, drink and sleep tech news. This means that you'll stay current with the latest web trends, insights and emerging technologies, and share and implement those learnings in everyday projects.
• Team player. You know how to work with other team members (across the agency and within the WSL) and partner agencies, and they love you-or at least like you.
• Self-starter. You know how to manage your schedule to hit near- and long-term deadlines. You also know how to ask for help when you have too much on your plate or competing project deadlines.
• Hone your craft. Develop and track personal goals that are tied to overall company objectives-and keep your personal growth in mind.
• Manage your day. Oversee applicable day-to-day responsibilities, which may include:
  • Daily management of assigned projects, including meetings, presentations, project tracking, task assignment, and hours or billing reports
  • Daily collaboration with other Dev Studio team members (strategists, UX designers, and developers) to develop marketing strategies for online experiences of our clients
  • Daily recording of all time spent on projects through our time tracking system
  • Weekly tracking of key project status and overall project health as related to milestones, touchpoints, and budgets
  • Participating in weekly team production meetings as well as daily client or internal team meetings
  • Support account teams in enterprise-level client meetings pertaining to Dev Studio specialty areas and product ownership.

What you'll need

• Preferred 2 years related experience in managing technical, web, and/or digital projects
• B.S., B.F.A., or equivalent work experience
• Stellar budgeting, time management, and organization skills
• Experience in tech/SaaS industries is a plus
• Experience in using a Content Management System (CMS)
• Desire/passion to learn more about websites and how users interact with them as well as how they are built and managed

What makes TrendyMinds a great place to work

We believe a happy team is a solid team; it's as simple as that.

• Fully remote: We believe the best team is one that isn't limited by proximity to a physical location. Whether it's the west coast or east coast, we work with team members across all of the U.S. time zones.
• Collaborative team environment: Your voice is important, and we believe the best projects include contributions from everyone.
• Great benefits: 30 paid days off and 401(k) matching. What more could you ask? Oh yeah, we cover 100% of health insurance premiums for all team members and 50% for their spouses and dependents.
• Flexible schedule: Some people are early birds who love collaborating in-person at our offices. Others are night owls who enjoy working from home. We are flexible to accommodate different work styles, times, and locations- within reason and the needs of our clients - of course!
• New equipment: In order to produce incredible work, we have to have incredible equipment. Sorry if you were hoping for a 7-year-old PC. That's just not our style.
• Philanthropy: We like to do our part to help our community. With our philanthropy committee and donation matching system, we offer you the resources you need to make a difference.

Our values

At TrendyMinds, we aim to hire people who share our values. They are at the center of how we treat each other and our clients, and they act as our guideposts for every decision.

Know the Why behind the What.

We aim to be as honest and transparent as possible with our team and clients. The idea of Why lives at the heart of our LOGIQ process and grounds us with clear reasons for the decisions we make. (You will learn more about our LOGIQ process if you join our team.)

Put relationships first.

We not me. For more than 25 years, we've grown a business built on strong relationships with clients. But we also know that developing trust and a collaborative spirit is equally important to cultivate a healthy team that loves having fun.

Think Ahead and push boundaries.

Our tagline isn't Think Ahead for nothing. We bring a contagious passion to our craft, always searching for creative ways to challenge ourselves and deliver results, even though things don't always go according to plan. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, improve, and try again.

Bring your full self.

Show up. Each of us has something unique to contribute. In all that we do, we celebrate diversity and strive to create an equitable, inclusive environment so that everyone feels a sense of belonging.
