While we are a fully remote company, we have roots in New York City. Our talented team is comprised of more than 20 software engineers, strategists, marketers, relationship specialists, and technical support professionals. We are led and inspired by our mantra, Awesome Every Day, which rallies our internal culture and guides our commitment to excellence. 

Location: This is a remote position. Applicants must have legal authorization to work in the United States without sponsorship from RubyLaw/Banyan Software and must be able to work in EST hours. 

RubyLaw is seeking an experienced Web Project Manager with 3+ years of experience managing website and/or web app projects. The ideal candidate will be experienced, have the foresight gained from lessons learned, possess a yearning for continuous improvement, and have experience working within the legal sector, or related professional services sectors. 

Position Overview 

We are seeking a leader -- a person who not only possesses the skills and aptitude required for the position but also strives for upward movement in the role and the opportunity to help shape and develop our project process and our people. Project Managers do more than just keep website projects moving on time and on budget; they are key to building happy client relationships and ensuring that internal teams have what they need to be successful. 

In this role, you will help shape and refine our project processes, contributing to the continuous improvement of our workflows and the professional growth of the team. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Working closely with internal project teams (developers, QA, and sales) towards implementing project milestones
• Overseeing and guiding the work of a team of developers
• Engaging with clients, designers, brand strategists, etc. in strategy discussions
• Leading the exploration and evaluation of Sitemaps, Wireframes, and Designs provided by our design partners
• Adhering to budgets and schedules
• Presenting project releases/deliverables to clients
• Coordinating stakeholders as part of the website content migration and systems integration process
• Managing enhancements/bug fixes during the Prototype and Beta Releases, as well as securing ultimate client approval for live launch.

Details matter. Communication counts. Our clients, a majority of which are top 200 global law firms, expect a flawless finished product and a stress-free relationship. We're looking for someone to move our process forward and improve upon an already tried-and-true method for delivering website/app projects. This position also requires tight collaboration with your fellow project managers to manage resource allocation on multiple concurrent project timelines, planning for shifting project schedules along the way. 

RubyLaw team members share a passion for technology and design; it’s at the core of everything we do. We blend this passion with solid engineering methodologies to build empowering user experiences for our clients and design partners. We have excelled in the development of large-scale content-managed websites for many of the top law firms in the world. 

Our body of work includes the following websites, to name a few, each featuring complex, JavaScript-powered interfaces built from the ground up: Wilson Sonsini, BCLP, Seyfarth, Akin, Winston & Strawn, among others. 

The right candidate will be able to ask the right questions and see beyond a given assignment, understanding how the task at hand relates to the larger goals of our projects and products. You understand that an intuitive user experience is paramount and that a system's functionality is as important as its design. You will have excellent verbal and written communication skills and will work alongside our support and engineering teams to deliver exceptional web and mobile applications. You are smart, sharp, and a quick study.
