Technical Project Managers in the Production Support department are responsible for developing and reviewing technical specifications for website work and ensuring that day- to-day operations run smoothly. Technical Project Managers act as a liaison for clients’ web marketing teams and Velir’s technical delivery team.
Technical Project Managers actively participate in the entire support development lifecycle over extended periods. Technical Producers work closely with internal team members to identify challenges and recommend solutions. Technical Project Managers are knowledgeable about web and content management systems standards and best practices and work to apply these standards to solve a client's business needs. Technical Project Managers will focus their contributions on strategic accounts for Velir. They will partner with Account Managers and VPs within Client Services to focus on growing these strategic accounts – both in terms of revenue and services provided by Velir. Technical Project Managers will assist in building account plans by providing input and direction as well as technical details and limitations.
Technical Project Managers will work closely with the management team to define and document best practices of the role to ensure a high quality of work is consistently delivered to Velir’s clients. Technical Producers will partner with representatives within Client Services to ensure consistent standards are followed across all of Velir’s work with our clients.
