Sr. Technical Project Manager

Job Description

Job Description

CourtAvenue is a company of industry experts accelerating digital transformation for the world’s most ambitious companies.

At CourtAvenue, you will be a part of a culture powered by entrepreneurs, technologists, data scientists and the habitually restless dedicated and energized to design products and services that transform businesses while optimizing them for growth. You will have the opportunity to learn and grow within a culture that values innovation while focusing on redesigning the experience between consumer and service (or product) by leveraging a fluid, seamless, and thoroughly transparent engagement.

Our Senior Technical Project Managers lead agile delivery for CourtAvenue’s most complex, multi-workstream digital transformation programs — composable platform builds, design systems, and phased legacy-site migrations. This role owns the day-to-day execution of a program’s technical and creative workstreams, translating a signed Statement of Work into sprint-level delivery while partnering closely with account leadership on client strategy.

This Sr. Project Manager runs agile ceremonies — sprint planning, daily scrums, backlog refinement, retrospectives — across a co-delivery model that embeds client developers and designers directly on the team, and holds the program to its scope, budget, and gate-review schedule. Comfort with technical concepts (headless/composable CMS, API-driven integrations, data layer and analytics implementation) and confidence managing scope through formal change-request processes are essential.

Responsibilities

• Own day-to-day delivery of a multi-workstream digital transformation program — platform/CMS build, design system, content, and phased migration — from mobilization through launch and stabilization

• Run agile ceremonies (sprint planning, daily scrums, backlog refinement, retrospectives) across a co-delivery model that embeds client developers and designers directly on the team

• Translate the Statement of Work into a sprint-level backlog, an integrated program timeline, and a RAID log, keeping scope, budget, and schedule aligned to the signed engagement

• Coordinate parallel workstreams spanning platform build, design system and token governance, system integrations, and legacy-site migration waves

• Manage the change-request process end to end — flag scope triggers early, document schedule/budget impact, and drive sign-off before repriced work begins

• Partner with engineering and architecture leads on technical delivery planning — environments, CI/CD, code review cadence, and release management

• Own gate-review readiness at each program milestone, confirming technical proof, data and measurement continuity, and team-readiness criteria before the next phase begins

• Track quality gates including accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA), Core Web Vitals performance, and cross-device QA sign-off ahead of every release

• Facilitate stakeholder workshops — goals and objectives, alignment, governance — to keep the program grounded in agreed priorities and success criteria

• Build and maintain the integrated delivery timeline across CourtAvenue, client stakeholders, and any subcontracted teams

• Identify and escalate risks and blockers — resourcing gaps, dependencies, vendor readiness — before they threaten the delivery schedule

• Collaborate with the Account Management team and report program status, risks, and milestones to the Director of Client Delivery

• Communicate succinctly and credibly across client executives, technical teams, and creative teams, adapting the message to each audience

Requirements

• 5-7+ years of technical/agile project or program management experience, ideally delivering composable CMS, platform migration, or design system programs

• Deep working knowledge of agile/Scrum methodologies, including sprint planning, backlog management, and co-delivery models with embedded client developers

• Agency or consultancy delivery experience strongly preferred

• Working comfort with technical concepts — headless/composable CMS architecture, API-driven integrations, data layer and analytics implementation, and CI/CD basics

• Experience managing multi-workstream programs with parallel platform, design, content, and migration tracks

• Proven ability to run formal change-request and gate-review processes on fixed-fee or milestone-based engagements

• Skilled at managing scope, budget, and risk across cross-functional and cross-organizational delivery teams

• Strong stakeholder management and executive communication skills, written and verbal

• PMP, CSM/PSM, or SAFe certification a plus; bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent experience

Work Environment

• Our organization follows a structured-hybrid work model, where employees work in an office environment 2-3x’s/week and remotely on Mondays and Fridays.

• Candidates for this position will ideally be located near one of our offices:

o Los Angeles, CA 

o San Diego, CA

• Candidates located in Chicago, IL, Minneapolis, MN, Dallas, TX, Austin, TX or Bentonville, AR will also be considered (but must work PST hours).
