Project Manager

• Facilitate all core ceremonies (standups, planning, refinement, reviews/demos, retros).
• Protect and maintain a consistent sprint cadence. Ensure sprint work meets 'Ready' standards (clear requirements, acceptance criteria, Definition of Done). Drive continuous improvement with actionable retro outcomes and follow-through.
• Collaborate with the Workstream and Delivery Leads to turn Project Brief priorities into a clear delivery plan.
• Work with Delivery Lead to break PRDs into sprint-ready, refined stories that will be executed upon for the quarter.
• Create/manage the work hierarchy (Initiatives/Epics/Stories as agreed). Maintain Jira hygiene (accurate statuses, clean board, up-to-date priorities). Ensure Jira reflects reality for active and upcoming work, including delivery notes, risks, and dependencies.
• Identify and remove blockers. Track cross-team dependencies (e.g. engineering, UX/UI, content, authoring). Surface risks, trade-offs, and decision points early; escalate when needed.
• Keep stakeholders informed with clear, regular updates on sprint progress, milestones, scope changes, risks/issues, and decisions. Facilitate working sessions/workshops that move work from 'idea' to 'ready to build.' Escalate priority conflicts to PgM/Workstream/Delivery leadership for resolution.
• Maintain organized project documentation (Project Brief, PRDs, transcripts, notes, etc.) in the agreed knowledge base. Provide lightweight reporting on delivery health (e.g., throughput/velocity, cycle time) to support planning and forecasting.
• Coordinate cross-functional needs and promote effective ways of working across the Pod. Partner with the Program Manager to help the team adopt consistent processes, roles, and reporting in the new operating model.
• Coordinate with designers, copywriters, content authors, developers, and marketing teams to execute campaigns and projects. Manage web content production and publishing schedules in AEM ensuring on-time delivery.
• Maintain delivery forecasts and adjust plans as scope, capacity, or priority shifts - ensuring decisions are transparent and documented.
• Handling third-party integrations, SEO optimization, and tracking implementation.
• Working with developers to enhance AEM’s front-end experience.
