Ecommerce Project Manager

Tryzens is an international digital commerce agency. Our mission is to accelerate client success and growth across all channels, leveraging our expertise, insights, and digital-first principles to deliver compelling experiences that delight and engage customers. We started in London and have since expanded operations to Melbourne, Sydney, Sofia, and Trivandrum, with 200+ team members serving 45+ international brands.

The Role

We're looking for a full-time Project Manager to lead the delivery of new-build ecommerce projects - from discovery through to go-live - for clients across Australia's ecommerce industry. You'll use a variety of delivery methodologies (Agile, SAFe, Hybrid, Waterfall) to manage multiple development teams located internationally, driving clients' business goals and leading innovation across the region.

You will be our client's main point of contact, working closely with our Heads of Delivery and Client Success Director to ensure Tryzens provides a high level of service and delivers high-quality projects on time and to budget. Our clients are our partners, and we pride ourselves on the strong relationships we build with each one - with the Project Manager playing an integral role in that partnership.

What You'll Do

Project Management

• Own delivery of new-build ecommerce projects end-to-end: discovery, requirements definition, build, testing, and go-live.
• Create project timelines, manage risks and dependencies, and secure commercial approvals across each phase.
• Plan and book project resources to deliver all delivery items in line with agreed release plans.
• Facilitate all project meetings focused on status reporting, problem resolution, and feedback.
• Manage offshore project delivery teams, ensuring collaboration and clear communication across time zones.
• Work with third parties on risks and dependencies affecting the build.
• Provide weekly project, financial, and schedule reporting to stakeholders.
• Deliver every project to budget and within agreed timelines, from kickoff through hypercare.

Client Engagement

• Take ownership of all direct communication with the client and resolve escalations with autonomy within the scope of our service offering.
• Collaborate effectively with internal and external colleagues to build first-class customer relationships, with the goal of making every client a lifelong client.
• Identify risks that threaten client satisfaction or renewal, and execute mitigation plans.
• Work closely with the Client Success team to identify and develop new opportunities within existing accounts.
• Conduct regular reviews with clients on services delivered.
• Listen carefully to clients to understand their key business issues and opportunities, translating them into business-impacting delivery outcomes.

Requirements

Requirements

Essential Experience

• 4+ years' experience as a Project Manager delivering ecommerce, digital commerce, or web platform new-build projects (experience with platforms such as Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Shopify Plus, Adobe Commerce/Magento, SAP Commerce, or commercetools highly regarded).
• Proven experience managing new-build ecommerce projects end-to-end, from discovery and requirements definition through to go-live and hypercare.
• Demonstrated experience running multiple concurrent client builds/roadmaps, rather than a single large programme.
• Experience working within an agency, consultancy, or professional services model.

Delivery Methodology

• Proven experience working across multiple delivery models - Scrum, SAFe, Hybrid, and Waterfall - with the judgement to select and adapt the right model per client and engagement.
• Experience running structured, milestone-driven delivery for new builds, including sprint ceremonies, release planning, and backlog prioritisation.
• Ability to translate client-prioritised items into deliverable sprint and milestone plans.

Stakeholder & Client Management

• Excellent, clear, and concise communication skills, with the credibility to act as the primary point of contact for AU clients at a senior, commercial level.
• Demonstrated experience managing challenging or demanding stakeholders, including de-escalating issues and resolving client escalations autonomously within agreed service boundaries.
• Experience facilitating discovery workshops and translating business requirements into technically sufficient user stories in partnership with technical practices.
• A track record of building trust-based, long-term client relationships, with the commercial awareness to spot account growth opportunities alongside a Client Success function.
• Confidence presenting weekly status, financial, and schedule reporting to both clients and internal senior stakeholders.

Team & Delivery Management

• Experience managing offshore or distributed development teams, with strong cross-timezone communication practices.
• Experience with resource planning and booking against release plans, matching team capacity to committed delivery items.
• Ability to identify, manage, and mitigate risks and dependencies, including third-party dependencies outside of Tryzens' direct control.
• Experience building and coordinating cross-functional teams (development, QA, BA, architecture) drawn from shared or matrixed team pools.
• Understanding of RAID log management (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies) and commercial approval processes, including scoping, estimation, and change requests.

Commercial & Operational Accountability

• Experience owning delivery to budget and agreed timelines, with accountability for margin and utilisation, not just schedule.
• Experience with time/effort reporting and billing accuracy in line with client contracts (T&M, fixed price, or retainer models).
• Exposure to Continual Service Improvement practices - identifying root causes and feeding fixes back into delivery.

Attributes

• Autonomous and comfortable holding ownership of escalations without deferring every decision upward.
• Commercially minded - understands margin, scope creep, and change control, not just delivery timelines.
• Naturally consultative - listens for the underlying business problem, not just the stated requirement.
• Melbourne-based preferred (for client face-time), though open to remote/interstate candidates for the right fit.
• Comfortable operating in a scaling, multi-region agency environment (UK, ANZ, Bulgaria, India) with cultural and time-zone sensitivity.

Nice to Have

• Certifications such as PMP, PRINCE2, SAFe Agilist/PM-PO, or CSM.
• Experience with ecommerce ecosystem components such as OMS, PIM, headless commerce, payment gateways, or ERP integrations.
• Prior agency-side (rather than client-side) PM experience.

Benefits

• Flexible working with hours that support life outside work.
• Hybrid by design: work from home, or from one of our offices when it suits you.
• Learning and development opportunities to help you grow your skills and career.
• Team social events to connect, celebrate wins, and have a bit of fun together.
• Two charity/volunteer days each year to support causes that matter to you.
• 25 days’ annual leave per year, plus a day off for your birthday.
• Tryzens Awards recognising the great work across our global teams.
• Access to our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) for confidential support.
• Enhanced parental leave, including maternity and paternity benefits.
