Code and Theory is looking for a Workfront Implementation Senior Project Manager to lead a specific delivery pod/workstream within a large-scale Adobe Workfront implementation/migration across a major agency account with ~75 agencies. This is a client-facing role responsible for driving track delivery from discovery through go-live readiness, ensuring work is properly sequenced across Workfront configuration, integrations, and dependencies, and aligned to foundational governance standards. This person will partner closely with overall program leadership and peer pod leads to support an integrated master plan, stage gates, and cross-pod coordination.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the pod/workstream delivery plan from discovery through go-live readiness (and transition to support), including detailed scheduling, milestones, and stage-gate inputs
• Build and manage detailed workplans based on Workfront configuration order, integration sequencing, and dependency mapping; continuously re-plan as constraints change
• Lead structured project cadence for the pod (status meetings, working sessions, design reviews), ensuring clear action items, owners, and decision tracking
• Manage the pod’s backlog and coordinate handoffs/dependencies with partner pods (including Hypercare & Enhancement and Foundational Governance)
• Partner with the System Architect to capture foundational impacts, document change requests, and route items through formal Change Control with clear impact assessments (scope/timeline/resourcing/risk)
• Proactively identify, document, and escalate risks, scope creep, and resource gaps early; surface mitigation options and tradeoffs to protect timeline and quality
• Maintain clear, consistent communication with agency stakeholders to level-set delivery expectations, confirm readiness, and ensure alignment on goals and upcoming decisions
• Ensure required documentation, deliverables, and approvals for the pod are complete and audit-ready prior to stage-gate progression
• Coordinate UAT readiness and execution for the track: define test approach and scenarios with SMEs, manage testing cycles, triage defects, and drive sign-off for pod deliverables
• Support rollout and transition planning for agencies in-scope for your track, coordinating with enablement/hypercare to ensure adoption and stabilization
• Provide pod/workstream inputs into SOW development (scope, deliverables, milestones, assumptions, dependencies, out-of-scope) and contribute to LOE/resource planning
• Support and/or drive change orders and scope expansions for the track with documented impacts and stakeholder approvals
• Operate with a billable, client-services mindset: proactive forecasting, clear expectations, and escalation that protects delivery outcomes and margin

What You’ll Need

• 5+ years experience leading Adobe Workfront implementations/migrations (or equivalent enterprise work management implementations with strong Workfront depth)
• Strong functional and technical understanding of Workfront configuration and integration sequencing/dependencies
• Proven ability to manage complex backlogs and coordinate cross-functional pods (technical + operational stakeholders)
• Strong risk management, change control discipline, and client-facing communication skills
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent deployments/workstreams and drive delivery through stage-gate governance
• Demonstrated experience leading delivery in a global, distributed environment (multiple regions/time zones), including remote facilitation and asynchronous decision-making
• Ability to adapt rollout and stakeholder management approaches across diverse agency teams and operating models
