Junior Project Manager / Project Coordinator (Web Studio)
Peterborough
£26,000 – £28,000
About the Role
Our client are looking for a highly organised, hands-on Junior Project Manager (or Project Coordinator) to join our Web Studio in Peterborough.
This is not a passive coordination role. You’ll be actively involved in website builds — inside WordPress, inside the detail, inside the delivery.
You’ll support the full lifecycle of projects from content population through to pre-launch checks, working closely with designers, developers and clients to ensure every website leaves the studio polished and on point.
This role suits someone early in their career who wants real exposure, real responsibility and a clear pathway into full project management.
Key Responsibilities
The Core of the Role Hands-On Website Delivery
Assist in managing website builds from briefing to launch
* Work directly inside WordPress to populate and format content
* Structure pages correctly, format imagery, and ensure consistency
* Support timelines and delivery milestones
* Ensure output aligns with the original brief and creative intent
You must be comfortable working in WordPress and have hands-on experience managing content within a CMS environment.
SEO & Digital Marketing
* Develop and implement on-page and off-page SEO strategies
* Conduct keyword research and competitor analysis
* Optimize website content, metadata, and landing pages
* Monitor and improve search rankings and organic traffic
* Collaborate with content creators to ensure SEO best practices
* Track SEO performance using tools (Google Analytics, Search Console, SEMrush, etc.)
* Identify technical SEO issues and coordinate with web developers
Pre-Launch & Quality Assurance
* Conduct structured pre-launch checks across desktop, tablet and mobile
* Test forms, links, navigation and integrations
* Check formatting, spacing, layout balance and responsiveness
* Spot inconsistencies others might miss
A meticulous eye for detail is essential. Small errors don’t slip past you.
Preferred Skills
* Experience in a creative studio, agency, or production environment
* Knowledge of content marketing strategies
* Basic understanding of HTML/CSS (for SEO optimization)
* Familiarity with CMS platforms (WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, etc.)
* Data-driven mindset with strong analytical skills
What We’re Looking For
* Hands-on WordPress experience
* Strong organisational skills
* High attention to detail
* Confident written and verbal communication
* Familiarity with project management tools (ClickUp experience beneficial) • Proactive, reliable and solutions-focused
An understanding of marketing principles (conversion, UX, user journey, SEO basics) is advantageous — but not essential. We can support that development.
