Role & Responsibilities
The Program Manager role is critical to the success of our agency and long-term client partnerships. Acting as the operational lead for strategic retainers and select projects, this individual ensures that client goals are translated into actionable plans with clear scope, timelines, and acceptance criteria.
This isn't a client services or account management role—our Program Managers are hands-on delivery leads. They combine relationship management with strong technical and operational acumen, guiding multi-service roadmaps that span CRO, Retention, SEO, and Shopify Design & Development. While the primary focus is ongoing retainers, Program Managers may also own discrete projects depending on bandwidth and business need.
Working cross-functionally with Strategy, Development, Design, and Retention teams, you'll ensure all deliverables meet the highest standards of quality, clarity, and alignment with client expectations.

- Facilitate weekly/biweekly client check-ins and ensure alignment across all deliverables
- Identify blockers, manage scope changes, and resolve delivery challenges proactively
- Maintain visibility into progress across all services and departments involved in a program
- Collaborate with the broader team to uncover upsell or cross-sell opportunities
- Build and maintain detailed timelines across all program workstreams

- Uphold process quality through documentation, QA checks, and internal coordination
- Ensure roadmap items are aligned with eCommerce best practices and platform capabilities
- Help define technical requirements and success criteria—especially for Shopify work

- Serve as a liaison between clients and technical teams to ensure clarity and feasibility
