Job Description

An Introduction to Codal

Codal is an award-winning web design and development consultancy that helps enterprise organizations solve complex problems and accelerate growth through elegant, data-driven digital solutions. Our areas of expertise include application modernization, eCommerce, UX/UI design, product strategy, data analytics, and artificial intelligence.

At Codal, you will collaborate with some of the most innovative organizations in the world and work on cutting-edge technologies that push the boundaries of design and software development. We promote long-term success, not just for our clients but for our team, helping you develop a professional roadmap that takes your career to new heights.

Who you’ll be working with

We ideate, create, and coordinate. We analyze, strategize, organize, and prioritize. We bridge the communication channel between the client and our project team. We chart the course and navigate the product roadmap sprint by sprint. Some of us are product owners. Some of us are scrum masters. Many of us wear multiple hats and do whatever’s needed to deliver successful projects.

What you’ll be doing

Discovery & Strategy

• 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.

Build Execution Excellence

• 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.

Program & Stakeholder Management

• 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.

Risk, Governance & Financial Management

• 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.

What you’ll need to be successful (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 (Preferred Experience)

• 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.

We continually review ranges to address skills, experience and markets. 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

$135,000—$155,000 USD
