Project Manager – Shopify E-commerce (Design & Development)

We are looking for an expert-level Project Manager to lead Shopify e-commerce web design and development projects end-to-end. This is a senior role for professionals who deeply understand UI/UX design and Shopify Liquid development and can confidently manage both execution and client relationships.
This is not a coordination role. This is full ownership.
What You’ll Be Responsible For:
End-to-End Project Ownership
Manage Shopify e-commerce projects from discovery to launch, including redesigns, CRO initiatives, and custom development
Define scopes, milestones, timelines, and deliverables with precision
Ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope, and to a high-quality standard
Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and scope creep and resolve them decisively
UI/UX & Design Oversight
Review UI/UX designs for usability, conversion optimization, and development feasibility
Work closely with designers to ensure designs are execution-ready and scalable
Maintain consistency across layouts, components, and user flows
Challenge design decisions when they negatively impact performance or usability
Shopify Development Oversight
Oversee Shopify Liquid development, theme customization, and custom features
Review development output for performance, structure, and Shopify best practices
Ensure efficient use of custom code over unnecessary paid app dependencies
Validate integrations including payments, shipping, analytics, and third-party tools
Client Communication & Relationship Management
Act as the primary point of contact for clients throughout the project lifecycle
Maintain regular communication, provide clear updates, and manage expectations
Translate technical and design decisions into clear, client-friendly explanations
Handle feedback, revisions, and difficult conversations with confidence and professionalism
Excellent spoken and written English is mandatory for this role.
Team Leadership & Internal Coordination
Serve as the bridge between designers, developers, QA, sales, and stakeholders
Run sprint planning, stand-ups, progress reviews, and delivery checkpoints
Maintain clear documentation, accountability, and task ownership
Drive teams to meet deadlines without compromising quality
QA, Launch & Post-Launch
Own QA across responsiveness, design accuracy, performance, and functionality
Oversee UAT, launch readiness, and final approvals
Ensure clean handover and post-launch support alignment
Required Experience & Skills (Non-Negotiable)
5+ years of experience managing Shopify e-commerce web design and development projects
Strong working knowledge of Shopify Liquid, theme architecture, and the Shopify ecosystem
Solid understanding of UI/UX design principles, CRO, and e-commerce user behavior
Proven experience managing clients directly and confidently
Excellent English communication skills, both written and verbal
Experience managing multiple projects simultaneously in an agency environment
Strong organizational, decision-making, and leadership skills
This Role Is for You If You
Have hands-on exposure to both designers and Shopify developers
Understand conversion-focused e-commerce, not just timelines and tasks
Take full ownership and accountability for outcomes
Are comfortable challenging teams when standards are not met
Can manage clients without escalation or hand-holding
This Role Is Not for You If You
Are a junior or mid-level PM
Have no real Shopify or UI/UX experience
Prefer task tracking over ownership and decision-making
