Agile Project Manager

Role Overview

• Manage delivery for concurrent digital product initiatives, keeping individual projects on track while coordinating cross-project dependencies, timelines, budgets, priorities, sequencing, and tradeoffs across the broader product portfolio.
• Build, maintain, and regularly update project plans, timelines, milestones, dependency maps, and delivery forecasts to ensure work remains organized, visible, and achievable.
• Track scope, schedule, budget, capacity, risks, milestones, and dependencies; proactively identify cross-project impacts and escalate issues with clear recommendations.
• Coordinate across Product Managers, Business Analysts, the Development team, external vendors, and cross-functional stakeholders to maintain alignment, clarify commitments, and support timely delivery.
• Follow up on blockers, open decisions, vendor deliverables, and stakeholder commitments to help keep work moving day to day.
• Oversee coordination with external vendors supporting product initiatives, ensuring deliverables, timelines, scope, and budget commitments are met.
• Partner with product managers, business analysts, and the development team to align release planning and sprint execution with portfolio priorities.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including IT, Editorial, Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success, to manage shared dependencies and delivery commitments.
• Prepare clear status reporting, escalation recommendations, decision logs, and delivery updates for leadership, highlighting project and portfolio-level risks and tradeoffs.
• Operate effectively at both the project and portfolio levels, managing day-to-day execution while maintaining visibility into broader roadmap impacts.
• Support delivery predictability by identifying risks early, recommending mitigation options, and ensuring decisions and commitments are documented.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in a related field, or the equivalent in additional experience.
