Job Level

Senior

The Project Manager in the Technology Division is the person clients rely on when they want to know where a project stands, and the person the engineering, design, and QA teams rely on to keep the week clear and the goal in view. You run bespoke web, mobile, e-commerce, and SaaS projects from kick-off to launch and into their first year of life, choosing the right method for each engagement rather than forcing every project through the same template. As a bespoke company, there is no one size fits all approach here. Your judgement in picking the right method for each engagement, and knowing when to bend it, is part of the craft. At COdesign, consistency of quality and on-time delivery are non-negotiable, and you are the person who protects both, project after project. You keep budgets, timelines, and scope honest, spot risks before they become issues, and bring the creative wing in cleanly when a project needs brand, content, or campaign work. Above all you make it easy for a client to say yes to a second and third piece of work, because the first one felt calm, well run, and worth the fee.

Key Responsibilities

Delivery

  • Own the plan for each project from kick-off to launch, including milestones, dependencies, resource booking, and the go-live checklist.
  • Choose the delivery method that fits the contract and the client, drawing on approaches like Scrum, Kanban, or a milestone plan, and adopt whatever actually keeps the project moving rather than what looks best on paper.
  • Run the daily standup, sprint planning, sprint review, retrospective, and weekly client call, keeping each one to time and with clear actions logged.
  • Track progress in Runtime, keep task states current, and make sure every developer, designer, and QA knows what they are working on this week and next.

Client Handling

  • Be the client's main point of contact for anything to do with delivery, replying within the working day and never letting a question sit unanswered over a weekend.
  • Send a weekly written update to every active client covering what shipped, what is in flight, what is blocked, and what needs a decision from them by when.
  • Circulate meeting minutes after every client interaction, capturing agreements, decisions, and action owners with dates.
  • Run kick-off meetings that leave the client with a clear picture of who is on the team, how decisions get made, and what the first two sprints will produce.
  • Say the hard thing early, a slip, a scope disagreement, or a design that has not landed, framed with a proposed way forward rather than as a complaint.

Scope, Budget and Timeline

  • Write the statement of work after discussing with the client and internal team, translating a proposal into a plan the team can actually deliver.
  • Prepare project budgets in alignment with the Operations lead and the Finance team.
  • Track hours burned against hours quoted every week, and raise a flag internally the moment a phase crosses seventy per cent of budget with less than seventy per cent of scope done.
  • Manage change requests formally. Any new ask is priced, scheduled, and approved in writing before work begins.
  • Keep a live risk register for every project, reviewed weekly, with named owners and mitigation actions rather than vague concerns.

Risk and QA

  • Build QA into the sprint, not after it, and make sure every ticket has a definition of done that includes browser, device, and accessibility checks where relevant.
  • Sign off releases together with the tech lead, using a pre-launch checklist covering performance, security headers, analytics, SEO basics, backup, and rollback.
  • Run a short post-incident review whenever a bug reaches production, capturing what happened and what the team will change so it does not happen twice.

Team Coordination

  • Book people onto projects with the resource manager and the heads of engineering and design, resolving clashes rather than escalating them.
  • Protect the team's focus by absorbing client noise, batching questions, and pushing back on requests that would break a sprint mid-flight.
  • Notice when a team member is overloaded or stuck, and act on it with the line manager before it turns into a missed date or a resignation.

Cross-wing with Creative

  • Brief the creative wing when a tech project needs brand, illustration, content, or campaign work, giving them the same clarity of scope, budget, and date you would give an external supplier.
  • Sit in on creative reviews for hybrid projects, making sure what is designed is technically buildable within the budget and timeline agreed.
  • Keep one shared plan for hybrid projects so the client sees a single team, not a tech thread and a creative thread pulling at each other.

Upsell and Growth

  • Listen for the second brief inside every conversation, whether that is a new module, a migration, a second market, an integration, or a retainer, and log it for the account lead within the week.
  • Prepare a short options document at the end of each phase showing what could come next, sized in weeks and taka, so clients have something concrete to react to.
  • Introduce any new product, module, or capability that fits a client's problem, and hand the qualified lead to the product or sales team cleanly.

Process and Tools

  • Use Runtime as the single source of truth for tasks, time, and status, and hold the team to keeping it current.
  • Keep project documentation tidy in one place per project. The SOW, the plan, the risk log, meeting notes, credentials handover, and the launch checklist.
  • Contribute to the division's playbook, writing up what worked and what did not so the next PM does not start from a blank page.
  • Report weekly to the Head of Technology on portfolio health, using a short red, amber, green view per project with a one line reason for anything not green.

Post-launch and Account Continuity

  • Run a launch retrospective with the client two weeks after go-live, capturing what to build on and what to change for the next phase.
  • Hand active accounts into support or a retainer team with a written handover covering technical stack, credentials, known issues, and open opportunities.
  • Stay the client's named contact for the first ninety days after launch, checking in monthly even when there is no billable work in flight.
  • Own the renewal conversation for any retainer or SaaS subscription running under your projects, working with the commercial lead to keep it live.

Required Expertise and Skills

  • Four to seven years running bespoke digital projects inside an agency, product studio, or inhouse build team, with at least two full launches you can talk through in detail.
  • Working fluency in the vocabulary of modern delivery, including Scrum, Kanban, Waterfall, Lean, and Shape Up, and confidence explaining to a client why one fits their project and the other does not.
  • A commitment to keep learning any industry-standard framework, method, or tool as it emerges, so the division's delivery practice never stands still.
  • Fluent with a modern project tool (Runtime, Jira, Linear, Asana, or ClickUp), a docs tool (Notion, Confluence), and a spreadsheet good enough to build a burn chart from scratch.
  • Strong written English, able to send a client update that is clear, calm, and never needs a follow-up email to explain what you meant.
  • Numerate. Reads a budget, spots a margin problem, understands day rates, blended rates, and the difference between revenue and recognised revenue.
  • Understands the shape of a web, mobile, or e-commerce build well enough to challenge an estimate, spot a missing piece, and translate between a client's brief and a developer's ticket.
  • Runs meetings that finish on time with actions written down, and chases those actions until they are closed.
  • Handles conflict without escalating it. A designer and a developer disagreeing, a client pushing on scope, a supplier missing a date.
  • Reliable under pressure, particularly in the two weeks before a launch, without becoming short with the team or the client.

Bonus Skills

  • Has shipped a Shopify Plus, headless commerce, or a native mobile app project, and can talk about the specific things that go wrong in each.
  • Reads code well enough to open a pull request, understand a commit history, and know when a "quick fix" is not one.
  • Has run a SaaS product team or a retained squad, and understands the rhythm of continuous release rather than one-off delivery.
  • Has sold work. Written or defended a proposal, sat in the pitch, and closed a scope with a client rather than only inheriting one.
  • Speaks Bangla and English fluently, and can move between a client conversation, a developer conversation, and a boardroom update without changing register awkwardly.
  • Has worked with, or inside, a creative agency and understands how brand, content, and campaign people think, plan, and cost their work.
