About the role

Codal is seeking a Project Manager to join our dynamic team. This individual will play a crucial role in delivering complex digital initiatives for our enterprise clients.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end delivery across multiple concurrent projects or large-scale programs—from discovery through execution and post-launch support.
  • Translate high-level objectives into structured delivery plans, milestones, and sprint-level execution.
  • Ensure alignment between scope, timeline, and budget, proactively managing trade-offs.
  • Lead Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, standups, backlog grooming, demos, and retrospectives.
  • Partner with Product Managers to ensure well-defined, prioritized backlogs and readiness of stories.
  • Drive delivery predictability through velocity tracking, capacity planning, and release planning.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for client stakeholders, providing clear communication on progress, risks, and outcomes.
  • Manage cross-functional teams including Product, Design, Engineering, QA, and DevOps.
  • Align project-level execution with broader program and business objectives.
  • Own and actively manage RAID logs (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies).
  • Implement strong project governance practices, ensuring transparency and accountability.
  • Track and manage budgets, forecasts, and resource allocation, ensuring delivery efficiency and margin health.

Requirements

  • Strong client-facing experience, preferably in a consulting setting, with the ability to manage expectations and influence stakeholders at multiple levels.
  • 6-8 years of formal project management experience in client-facing, consulting, or agency settings.
  • Proven track record of leading end-to-end delivery of complex digital initiatives (e.g., web/mobile applications, CMS, eCommerce, or platform modernization).
  • Experience driving both discovery and delivery phases of digital engagements.
  • Experience managing project financials, including budgeting, forecasting, and resource planning.
  • Strong RAID management discipline (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies) with proactive mitigation planning.

Bonus points for these

  • Exposure to enterprise integrations, APIs, and data-driven platforms.
  • Experience working across multiple solution types (application modernization, headless CMS, composable commerce, etc.).
  • PMP, CSM, or equivalent certification.
  • Experience with Jira/Confluence or similar tools.

Pay

Base salaries are determined during our interview process, by assessing a number of factors that include but aren’t limited to, a candidate’s experience and skills relative to the scope and responsibilities of the position. Pay range: $110,000—$120,000 USD.
