Job description

We’re looking for one Senior Project Manager to support two separate projects for a Large Financial Services company. The first is a 12-week technical SEO and GEO implementation for a financial services marketing site built on Adobe Experience Manager. The second is a separate opportunity expected to run at 20 hours per week for 18 weeks. The same PM will manage priorities and capacity across both projects, with separate plans, budgets, and reporting for each.

On the AEM project, the PM will lead a distributed delivery team and serve as the day-to-day contact for Bread’s marketing and MarTech stakeholders. The work covers crawlability, rendering, structured data, redirects, performance, and caching through AEM templates and components. The PM will manage dependencies with security, WAF and bot management, SEO, and content teams so decisions and inputs arrive before they block delivery.

• Two weeks of discovery and onboarding, four two-week delivery sprints, and two weeks of hypercare.
• Technical implementation scope. UX/design and content authoring are deferred and should go through change control if requested.
• Sprint themes cover technical SEO foundations, rendering and schema setup, structured data and image optimization, and performance, caching, and pre-production validation.
• Each sprint includes a review, retrospective, and deployment window. The team estimates work in story points and uses short technical investigations before implementation when scope is uncertain, including server-side rendering and Core Web Vitals.

Responsibilities

• Run agile delivery. Lead sprint planning, daily coordination, reviews, and retrospectives. Keep the backlog prioritized and sprint goals clear to the team and client.
• Confirm assumptions early. Identify who owns redirect lists, robots.txt paths, indexing rules, and other client inputs during onboarding. Set due dates before those inputs become blockers.
• Manage hours and budget. Track actual and forecast hours by role and sprint. Report burn and variance to the Engagement Director and flag risk to the not-to-exceed budget early.
• Own scope and change control. Document and size requests outside the agreed scope and route them for approval.
• Manage dependencies and team handoffs. Assign owners and dates to dependencies across Bread teams and third-party AI visibility vendors. Coordinate architecture, development, QA, and deployment across time zones.
• Keep stakeholders informed. Maintain the RAID log, status reports, and sprint summaries. Communicate decisions and risks clearly to marketing and technical stakeholders.
• Drive release readiness. Coordinate pre-production reviews, deployment preparation, and hypercare. Confirm acceptance criteria, validation evidence, and sign-off before release.
• Coordinate across both Bread projects. Keep milestones, hours, and risks visible for each engagement. Flag competing priorities early, especially when sprint ceremonies or release windows overlap.

Required experience

• 8+ years managing web or digital platform delivery, including at least 3 years running agile sprints for enterprise clients.
• Hands-on AEM delivery experience with AEM as a Cloud Service or AEM 6.x. Understands templates, components, Dispatcher, caching, and publish workflows well enough to challenge estimates and follow technical decisions.
• Working knowledge of technical SEO, including robots and meta robots directives, XML sitemaps, canonical tags, redirects, heading structure, and indexation.
• Familiarity with JSON-LD and schema.org validation and Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, and INP).
• Experience managing time-and-materials budgets, forecasts, budget caps, and change orders.
• Experience leading blended onshore and offshore teams across time zones and communicating with both marketing executives and technical leads.
• Proficiency with Jira or an equivalent backlog tool and clear stakeholder reporting.

Preferred experience

• Financial services or another regulated industry, including release controls, compliance reviews, and security coordination.
• GEO, AI crawler access, and how AI search and answer engines consume structured content.
• Server-side rendering in component-based front ends.
• Coordination with WAF or bot-management teams to resolve crawler access.
• PMP, PMI-ACP, Certified ScrumMaster, or Adobe certification.
