Sr. Technical Project Manager (Adobe Experience Cloud)

As our Sr. Technical Project Manager, you will… 

You will drive the strategic alignment of marketing objectives with technical enablement milestones by establishing and maintaining a comprehensive program roadmap. You will oversee timelines, deliverables, and cross-functional collaboration to balance short-term wins with long-term scalable solutions, ensuring seamless orchestration of technical activations across platforms like Adobe Experience Cloud and Salesforce Marketing Cloud. Acting as a trusted facilitator, you will unify priorities across marketing, IT, and analytics teams, while providing clear communication, governance, and leadership-ready updates to executive stakeholders. Your role will champion accountability, foster alignment, and navigate complex environments to deliver impactful, future-ready solutions.

Be Accountable and Responsible

• Strategic Alignment & Roadmapping
• Establish and maintain a comprehensive program roadmap that connects marketing objectives with technical enablement milestones.
• Set a roadmap from a customer-impact perspective to facilitate senior-level conversations and decision-making.
• Build and maintain the single source of truth critical path project plan inclusive of inputs from all primary functions (Retail IT, Marketing, A&B/C, MaCE) and including incremental milestones and launch dates.
• Balance short-term delivery with long-term architecture evolution, ensuring near-term value creation while advancing scalable, future-ready solutions.
• Oversee timelines and deliverables across all workstreams, maintaining focus on both quick wins and long-term goals.
• Technical Oversight & Solution Enablement
• Serve as a “neutral” expert leveraging deep technical understanding (Adobe Experience Cloud, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, and related systems) to evaluate options, pressure-test solutions, and recommend the ideal approach—without direct coding or configuration.
• Own orchestration of the technical activation of the marketing roadmap, ensuring architectural decisions and sequencing support omnichannel strategy goals.
• Facilitate alignment between systems and tools (e.g., Jira, Rally) to establish cross-platform visibility and accountability mechanisms.
• Program Governance & Stakeholder Communication
• Organize and lead SteerCo meetings, establishing clear agendas and driving decision-oriented discussions.
• Provide regular, concise communications on project status, risks, and milestones to executive stakeholders.
• Standardize program reporting by synthesizing updates across multiple workstreams into leadership-ready summaries.
• Identify and escalate cross-team blockers early, driving resolution through structured governance and stakeholder alignment.
• Accountability & Delivery Management
• Hold project managers across teams accountable to deliverables, timing, and interdependencies to enable complex architecture and process roadmap execution (MaCE, CRM IT, A&BC, CRM Strategy, MORE).
• Champion accountability and clarity across teams, ensuring dependencies are clearly mapped and progress is tracked consistently.
• Foster consistency and continuity, helping maintain alignment across teams and initiatives even as priorities evolve.
• Escalate and document project risks, issues, and decision points; proactively uncover and communicate disconnects to facilitate alignment across stakeholders.
• Influence & Change Leadership
• Adapt communication and influence styles to navigate our client's complex, matrixed environment—knowing when to advocate for change versus when to align with existing processes.
• Serve as a trusted facilitator who bridges marketing, MarTech, IT, and analytics teams to unify priorities, translate roadmaps, and sustain alignment over time.
• Ensure ongoing measurement and progress tracking across both quantitative and qualitative milestones.
