Senior Product Manager at Codeandtheory

The Senior Manager of Product (Technical Delivery) is a strong individual contributor who owns delivery tasks and documentation with growing scope and independence. This person contributes across all five pillars of strategic product management — from surfacing requirements in discovery through managing execution, tracking quality, and supporting iteration — and is building the skills to navigate trade-off conversations and client communication on their own. They lead end-to-end product strategy and execution by leveraging deep knowledge of the product development lifecycle to deliver customer-focused solutions. They use AI tools daily and with confidence — in documentation, backlog management, prototyping, and requirements analysis — and are developing a clear point of view on where automation genuinely improves delivery quality and where precision demands direct human judgment. WHAT YOU'LL DO • Discovery: Contribute to requirements discovery — synthesizing stakeholder input, reviewing technical documentation, and surfacing the functional and non-functional needs that must be captured in product specs • Strategy & Vision: Maintain accurate, up-to-date product documentation that reflects current priorities and roadmap direction; flag when specs or stories drift from the agreed strategic intent • Prioritization: Own backlog grooming for defined product areas — writing and refining tickets, flagging inconsistencies, gaps, or scope risks, and supporting sprint planning with well-prepared materials • Analysis: Track QA outcomes, acceptance criteria results, and sprint velocity; use that data to surface delivery patterns and recommend process or specification improvements • Execution: Support sprint ceremonies with preparation and follow-through; collaborate with engineering to clarify requirements, review test cases, and ensure work is delivered to spec • Use AI tools confidently as a core part of daily documentation and delivery workflow — developing a point of view on where automation improves throughput and accuracy, and where careful human review is non-negotiable • Support Associate Directors and Directors with scoping and delivery planning; provide constructive guidance to Managers and Associates WHAT YOU'LL NEED • 4+ years of experience in technical product management, business analysis, or delivery-focused roles, with a demonstrated ability to own defined delivery workstreams • Strong working knowledge of agile delivery — comfortable writing user stories, grooming a backlog, running sprint ceremonies, and tracking QA outcomes with limited oversight • Growing fluency in platform and technical documentation sufficient to collaborate effectively with engineering and flag risks before they become problems • Developing client communication skills: able to update stakeholders on delivery status, flag scope issues proactively, and begin navigating trade-off conversations • Confident, daily use of AI tools in prototyping, documentation and delivery workflow — with a developing point of view on where automation genuinely improves quality and where human review remains essential • Reliable delivery of complex tasks with limited supervision; strong attention to detail and a systems-oriented approach to product documentation • Early experience providing guidance to junior practitioners; a growth mindset and genuine investment in developing delivery craft ABOUT US Born in 2001, Code and Theory is a digital-first creative agency that sits at the center of creativity and technology.
