The digital project manager is involved in all phases of a web project. At the crossroads between the customer and the technical teams, they guarantee the quality of the project.
The digital project manager coordinates digital marketing operations within the company. Their position is central: they liaise between the creative and technical teams to ensure the success of web marketing initiatives, from conception to online launch.

The digital project manager must have an excellent knowledge of key digital marketing concepts such as KPIs, acquisition levers and browsing habits.

They have knowledge of advertising platforms (AdWords, Facebook Ads) and the use of ticketing tools such as Jira/Confluence. He or she will have some knowledge of natural search engine optimisation, although he or she will frequently work with the web SEO. Fluency in technical English is appreciated.
In addition to their technical skills, digital project managers are able to manage and motivate a team by demonstrating leadership. Their rigour and organisation enable them to manage projects effectively, while their analytical skills and creativity help them to solve problems and innovate. Digital project managers are good communicators. Their flexibility and responsiveness enable them to adapt quickly to change.
Digital project managers have a degree ( bac +3 to bac +5) in IT, digital marketing or communications, obtained at a university, business school or specialist college.
