Associate Technical Project Manager (Web Design)

Job Description

Strengthening and empowering all of the communities we serve.

Catalyst IQ is hiring for an Associate Technical Project Manager.

Catalyst IQ , launching January 2026, is a new digital marketing and technology leader formed by uniting Advance Automotive’s top brands—Adpearance, Fox Dealer, Search Optics, and ZeroSum. We empower automotive dealers and manufacturers to grow with precision and profitability through smarter, faster, and more comprehensive solutions. As a part of Advance Local and built on a foundation of over a decade of proprietary technology development, 23 billion data points, 22 OEM certifications, and a national sales force, Catalyst IQ combines cutting-edge innovation with human expertise to deliver real-time insights and actionable intelligence that accelerate sales.

The Associate Technical Project Manager is responsible for leading clients through small website builds and maintenance projects. If you’ve had any exposure to digital marketing (and we hope you have), you’ll know that the website is the engine, the heartbeat, the very center point of digital success. So you’ll be right in the middle of the action, getting exposure to the whole digital landscape from design to implementation, digital advertising to SEO.

Given the nuance and expertise required for any one of these fields, we don’t expect our Associate Technical Project Managers to know it all. You just need curiosity, drive, and foundational communication chops. We’ll help you build your skills, confidence, and capability into a position that can grow with you.

Responsibilities:

In this role, you will be:

• Working independently and partnering with the project team to ensure website maintenance and site build projects are delivered on time and within scope.

• Educating and leading clients through the digital marketing project lifecycle from initiation and planning to execution.

You will:

• Plan, schedule, and develop timelines.

• Gather and refine user stories and requirements.

• Manage and update site content and features.

• Engage in QA, UAT, and troubleshooting.

• Synthesize information (requirements, client feedback, industry trends, etc.) to produce web content.

• Act as the main point of contact for end users, connecting the dots between business requirements and website implementation.

• Provide updates on project work and escalate issues as necessary.

Qualifications

We’re looking for someone whose work is guided by the following principles:

• Professionalism and candor.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills

• Exceptional level of service.

• Willingness to learn and adapt to new systems.

• Efficient and effective decision making and problem solving.

• Continual learning, reflection, and improvement.

• Ability to work independently.

Education and Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent job experience required.

• Minimum 1 year experience supporting/coordinating projects, preferably in a technology or web development environment.

• Some client-facing experience.

• Solid organizational skills including attention to detail and multitasking.

• Appreciation for aesthetics and design.
