Senior Digital Project Manager

We're looking for a senior digital project manager to join a team doing interesting, high-profile work - from national arts institutions to finance sector leaders to purpose-driven non-profits. If you're the kind of PM who takes real ownership, builds strong client relationships, and knows what good digital delivery looks like, read on.

About Evolution 7

Founded in 2001, Evolution 7 is an award-winning digital agency with a 20+year track record of delivering beautiful, high-performing digital experiences. We've won Melbourne Studio of the Year four times - and we still care as much about the quality of the work as we did on day one.

We're strategy-led and human-centred by nature. We explore the intersection of people and technology to build digital products that are both elegant and effective. Our distributed teams work across Melbourne and Barcelona, with a flexible remote-first model that works well in practice.

Our clients include The Australian Ballet, APRA AMCOS, TAL, Catholic Mission, Infrastructure Victoria, Maddocks, and Foxtel Group - brands and organisations with purpose, profile, and complex digital needs. We build long-term relationships, not transactional ones.

The Role

This is a senior role with real client ownership. You'll lead a portfolio of accounts from end to end - managing delivery, building trust with stakeholders, and ensuring every project lands on time, on budget, and to a standard the team is proud of.

You'll work alongside a highly skilled design and development team on projects built primarily in Craft CMS, hosted on AWS, and increasingly shaped by AI capability. You'll have the support of experienced colleagues, but this role is for someone who doesn't need their hand held.

What You'll Do

• Lead project delivery across a portfolio of clients, managing scope, schedule, and budget with precision
• Build and maintain strong client relationships through proactive, clear communication
• Scope and estimate projects and features, contributing to proposals and statements of work
• Run projects using Asana, Slack, Notion, and Google Meet, and help us keep our processes sharp
• Work closely with design, development, and strategy teams to achieve outcomes that meet the brief and go beyond it
• Support the PM team with process improvement and knowledge-sharing
• Manage stakeholder expectations throughout the project lifecycle, surfacing issues early and resolving them quickly
• Contribute your perspective on AI tools and workflows - we're actively building in this space, and we want a PM who is engaged with it

What We're Looking For

Essential

• At least five years of experience in a digital project manager or producer role, ideally in an agency context
• Excellent project management skills with a highly organised, problem-solving mindset
• Strong command of both agile and waterfall methodologies - and the judgment to know when to use which
• A genuine appreciation for UX and human-centred design
• Solid working knowledge of digital and technical concepts, with confidence working alongside developers
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills
• High attention to detail and a methodical, structured approach
• A client-first mindset and genuine enthusiasm for service

Highly regarded

• Familiarity with Craft CMS or similar CMS platforms
• Experience with or strong interest in AI tools and their application to project workflows
• Experience managing technically complex or integration-heavy projects

Life at E7

We're a remote-first agency, but we're not a lonely one. Our Melbourne PM team forms the operational core, and we're open to applicants based elsewhere in Australia.

What you can expect:

• Remote-first model - we support working from home with an ergonomics check and a $200 home office budget
• Flexible hours - we work around core hours, so you have the flexibility to manage your day and life without justifying it
• Mental health support - including no-questions-asked mental health days, and a free day off on your birthday
• Professional development - we invest in your growth with real training and development opportunities
• Meaningful work - our clients include non-profits, public institutions, and purpose-led organisations making a real difference
• A social team - regular activities, lunches, and outings for Melbourne-based staff; active Slack channels, virtual quizzes, and cross-team sessions for everyone else
• International dimension - as part of a Melbourne and Barcelona team, you'll collaborate across time zones and geographies

Salary: $115,000--$130,000 per annum (depending on experience) plus superannuation

We're a progressive meritocracy. If you're smart, passionate, and great at what you do, we want to hear from you.
