Project Manager/Sr. Consultant

We are looking for an experienced Project Manager/Sr. Consultant to lead digital commerce initiatives for a growing organization in Chicago, Illinois. This contract opportunity with permanent potential is ideal for someone who can guide multiple Shopify-related projects from planning through launch while partnering closely with business teams, technical resources, and external vendors. The role is focused on delivery leadership, coordination, and execution rather than hands-on development work.

Responsibilities:
• Oversee several eCommerce and Shopify project tracks at the same time, ensuring progress stays aligned with business objectives and delivery targets.
• Partner with developers, quality assurance teams, vendors, and internal stakeholders to keep initiatives moving smoothly across all phases of execution.
• Build and maintain project plans, timelines, budgets, and status updates while proactively identifying and addressing risks or blockers.
• Collect, organize, and prioritize business and technical needs to support clear scope definition and effective project delivery.
• Lead work across both Agile and traditional project environments, including sprint activities, backlog oversight, milestone coordination, and schedule tracking.
• Coordinate testing, release readiness, launch planning, and post-deployment support to help ensure successful production rollouts.
• Resolve resource constraints, manage project interdependencies, and adapt plans as priorities shift across multiple workstreams.
• Work with leadership and cross-functional partners to support decision-making, maintain alignment, and drive successful business outcomes.

Qualifications:

• At least 5 years of experience leading projects in a formal project management capacity.
• Demonstrated experience managing Shopify initiatives and broader digital commerce or eCommerce programs.
• Background overseeing website builds, enhancements, migrations, or related online commerce projects.
• Proven ability to manage several active projects or workstreams simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience collaborating directly with developers, QA professionals, vendors, and business stakeholders.
• Familiarity with testing coordination, release activities, and production launch support.
• Working knowledge of both Agile and Waterfall delivery approaches.
• Strong communication, organization, prioritization, and stakeholder management capabilities.
