Job Description
AEM Project Manager at Stack Builders managing client projects and leading scrum teams. Working remotely to deliver high-quality web solutions for clients in various sectors.
Responsibilities:
- 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.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent work experience.
- 4+ years of project management and/or a Scrum Master in a digital product, web, or full-stack delivery environment.
- 3+ years of experience with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM).
- Proven experience running Scrum ceremonies and improving team flow.
- Proficiency with Agile workflows and Jira.
- Knowledge of SEO, web analytics, and content strategy.
- Ability to manage stakeholder communication and digital marketing objectives.
- Comfort managing ambiguity, dependencies, and cross-functional coordination (UX/UI, content, engineering, authoring).
- Hands-on knowledge of online content management for various devices.
- Strong stakeholder management skills; translating business needs into executable delivery plans.
- Strong written and verbal communication, experienced with status reporting and risk management.
- Ability to understand dynamic enterprise workflows and processes quickly.
- Availability to overlap at least 4 hours with the US PDT time zone working hours.
- Fluent and efficient communication skills in English are necessary for direct communication with clients and across different departments.
- Location: open to candidates in Canada, Colombia, and the US, with flexibility on specific locations.

Benefits:

- Challenging, exciting, and ongoing projects. We work with some of the most admired companies worldwide.
- A strong learning culture.
- Exceptionally talented and passionate coworkers.
