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

• 5+ years of experience managing Shopify e-commerce web design and development projects
• Strong working knowledge of Shopify Liquid, theme architecture, and 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, * Shortlisted candidates will be required to complete a detailed job application form to assess experience depth, decision-making approach, and communication clarity.
• IQ Test Meeting
• Candidates who pass the application stage will be scheduled for an IQ-based evaluation meeting. This stage focuses on logical thinking, problem-solving ability, and structured reasoning under pressure.
• Technical Interview

Candidates who clear the IQ stage will proceed to a technical interview covering:

• Shopify Liquid and theme architecture understanding
• UI/UX decision-making and feasibility assessment
