Manage resource allocation and capacity planning across web projects, ensuring the development team has clear priorities, realistic deadlines, and what they need to ship.
Oversee day-to-day execution of web initiatives: new site builds, redesigns, content launches, CRO projects & A/B testing, QA coordination, release communication, and recurring site maintenance.

Translate non-technical project briefs into clear, actionable technical requirements for the development team.
Proactively surface risks, blockers, and schedule changes to relevant stakeholders before they cause surprises.
Manage day-to-day coordination with external agency partners: schedules, deliverables, handoffs, and ticket queues.
Track agency performance against agreed timelines and quality standards; escalate concerns and contribute to SOW and renewal conversations.
Ensure smooth collaboration between agency partners and in-house developers, reducing friction at handoff points.
Manage SaaS and services contracts for team tools and resources.
