Digital Project Manager

Viget is an independent digital agency that has been designing and building digital products and platforms since 1999. Our culture is ideal for lifelong learners seeking a variety of meaningful work, supportive collaboration with positive teammates, and a healthy work/life balance. We work from four

offices

(hybrid) and

remote

locations throughout the U.S., and enjoy a proven cadence of virtual and in-person meetings and retreats to build camaraderie and stay connected. We work with tech companies (like Robinhood and

SpectrumAi

), non-profits (like

World Wildlife Fund

and

NPF

), and consumer brands (like

Stern Pinball

and

ESPN

).

At Viget, Digital Project Managers are much more than just project coordinators -- they’re project leaders and lead consultants. They work collaboratively with clients to understand organization goals, define solutions, answer hard questions, and ensure the overall quality of a project. They facilitate tasking, budget management, and day-to-day communication with clients and internal teams. They are both empathetic and results-driven, cultivating a culture of efficiency, innovation, trust, and progress on their projects.

As a DPM at Viget, you’ll lead a variety of projects, including large-scale content sites, product design, and software development efforts. You’ll define and prioritize requirements, collaborate with our brilliant designers and developers, support user research and testing, lead quality assurance, and celebrate thrilling launches. More than any other role at Viget, you’ll contribute to all areas of a successful project.

You'll need to communicate, collaborate, and lead effectively. Here are the things we're looking for:

• You’re a polished and persuasive communicator (without BS-ing).  You consistently listen, make connections, write, and speak better than most people.
• You were born with or have carefully cultivated an awareness of and appreciation for details.
• You get made fun of by your friends because you’re “too” organized (as if THAT’S possible).
• You meet deadlines across multiple, simultaneous projects.
• You build long-term relationships with clients based on thorough planning, timely and professional communication, and intelligent problem-solving.
• You’re solution-oriented. You don’t just identify problems, you synthesize solutions. 
• You’re comfortable closely managing project budgets. You can work with internal teams to manage their time within constraints, transparently communicate budget health to clients, and lead prioritization discussions to help clients understand tradeoffs and collaboratively identify solutions that work with their timelines and budgets. 
• You have a "thick skin" when the going gets tough. If and when conflicting demands emerge, you communicate diplomatically to reach a resolution.
• You demonstrate integrity through your words and actions.
• You love processes and plans, but you’re flexible. You can create an effective project plan and timeline, but are comfortable enough with ambiguity to adapt the plan when things change. 

You'll also need to be able to work well in our technical environment. Here are things we’re looking for (note: we recognize that you may not have done all of these before, and that's okay):

• You have worked in a fast-paced software development environment before, whether at an agency or product company.
• You know how the web works and how a web app works, which means you’re aware of technical constraints when talking to clients. You don’t hesitate to ask a lot of questions in order to define the functionality of what we’re building.
• You can break down a set of wireframes into actionable tasks for back-end and front-end developers. You’re passionate about finding innovative, efficient, and effective ways to document those tasks.
• You can shepherd often-vague client requests and ideas through the definition process. You know when to rely on a UX designer, but you’re comfortable thinking through logic and creating useful documentation of that logic.
• You’re able to describe workflows and tasks purely from an end user’s perspective, helping developers make informed implementation decisions.
• You’ve performed QA.  You can distinguish a bug from a functional update from a new feature request. 
• Generally, successful candidates will have between 3 and 8 years of experience managing digital projects. If the role has piqued your interest and you think you’d be a fit, but don’t quite meet the requirements, we still encourage you to reach out.

Everyone at Viget:

• Embodies our core values of integrity, work ethic, collaboration, creativity, and lifelong learning.
• Values mentorship, learning, and sharing knowledge.
• Writes and speaks clearly and effectively when collaborating with teammates and clients.
• Believes in and supports our commitment to building a diverse and inclusive company.

Compensation and Benefits:

• Annual base salary of $70,000 - $100,000 (mid level) or $90,000 - $120,000 (senior) per year depending on location, skills, and experience
• Additional comp available via spot performance bonuses, sales referrals, and new hire referrals
• 401(k) retirement plan matching up to 4%
• 100% company-paid health and dental coverage for you and your family
• Stipends for wellness (apps, gyms, etc.) and connectivity (mobile phone or home internet)
• 15 days PTO (20 after 2 years), 9 paid holidays, and 2 community service days per year
• Up to $2,000/year in conference and training (professional development) budget

How to Apply:

Apply by completing the application form. We expect you may use AI for research, prep, and proofreading during the job application process. We use AI daily and believe that building AI skills is essential, but at this stage we need to get to know

you

. To that end, unless directed otherwise, we expect you will not submit AI-generated answers or assignments (writing, coding, designing) nor use AI for real-time help during interviews. Using AI tools to misrepresent your knowledge, ability, or experience is unethical. It’s also impractical and short-sighted since once you’re in the role you’ll often need to think and communicate in real-time without AI help. As a small team with high standards for quality and, above all, integrity, we ask that you write your own application answers, submit work that reflects the real you, and share openly how you used AI in the application process if at all.

We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet 100% of the qualifications and are actively seeking people from underrepresented groups to join our team.
