PHP Developer Jobs with Account Management
Hybrid roles combining PHP development with account management responsibilities are ideal for developers with strong technical and interpersonal skills. In these positions, you act as a key technical point of contact for clients, bridging the gap between their business needs and the development team's execution.
Unlike a pure development role, this position involves direct client interaction. Responsibilities may include gathering project requirements, providing technical guidance, managing project scope and timelines, and ensuring overall client satisfaction. You will use your deep understanding of PHP and web technologies to translate client requests into technical specifications and to explain complex technical concepts in an easy-to-understand way.
Skills for a Client-Facing Technical Role
Success requires a balance of technical expertise and excellent communication.
Core Competencies
- Technical Proficiency: Strong skills in PHP, databases, and relevant frameworks (e.g., Laravel, Symfony) to assess feasibility and design solutions.
- Client Communication: The ability to listen to client needs, manage expectations, and clearly articulate project progress and technical constraints.
- Project Management: Organizing tasks, setting priorities, and ensuring projects are delivered on time and within scope.
- Problem-Solving: Addressing both technical challenges in the code and client-related issues as they arise.
These roles are often found in digital agencies, consultancies, or SaaS companies with high-touch client relationships.
