Job Description: Web Development Project Manager

'New, energetic, and rapid results oriented internet focused department seeks an impassioned, experienced project delivery and technical development manager for a long term relationship. If you start your work day around 10:00 so you can take long walks on the beach, watch black and white matinees with foreign subtitles after lunch, and leave work at 3:00 to meet your book club to discuss the metaphors and sub-plots of classic Russian literature, this is not the right job for you.'

If this were a personal ad, it might start like the above! In all seriousness though, ARE you highly motivated, truly dedicated (and perhaps a tad over-caffeinated), and excited to make a difference in the life of God's hurting people? Do you have deep, hands-on, direct experience managing (i.e.: recruiting, hiring/firing, training, developing and directing) the day-to-day activities of a small (6-8 person or more) team? Then you may well belong managing the team of Web Developers in our newly formed Client Programming and Delivery Group. This Project Manager position is a direct report to the Sr. Project Manager and a dotted line report to Professional Services Team members.

You're recognized for your technical and management skills that have boosted your organization's success and shareholder satisfaction. Aare you satisfied though? Imagine using your PM skills to build a better world for philanthropic and ministry focused organizations who are transforming lives throughout the world. Imagine serving people and organizations in 68 countries that help change lives by drilling wells in the Sahara, curing diseases, feeding the hungry, setting up homes for abandoned AIDS children, reconciling relationships and sharing the Gospel with untold millions.
