Strategic Project ManagerFull-time, Remote (aligned to EST business hours) Check out The Global Talent Co.

At Code and Theory, we thrive at the intersection of creativity and technology. We empower brands by driving seamless execution, transformative solutions, and delivering exceptional client experiences. Through a culture of invention, our teams turn ideas into impact—creating innovative, memorable experiences for clients and their audiences.

Code and Theory is looking for a Program Delivery Lead to run the operating engine behind Project Ignite, our embedded-team partnership with Adobe that drives enterprise customer adoption of generative AI tools like Adobe Firefly and Adobe GenStudio.

The Program Lead owns the whole program rather than an individual client account. This role acts as the connective tissue across the whole Engagement Management team: as the primary point of contact for Adobe’s FDE leadership on program-level matters, as the owner of internal operating rhythm and team health, and as the person who represents the program to Code and Theory and Stagwell executive leadership.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Set the internal operating rhythm and drive the decisions behind it, leading a weekly full-team sync and a recurring senior-leadership huddle where staffing, performance, and hiring calls get made
• Own the program’s voice with the client and with internal leadership, delivering recurring executive readouts in multiple formats, backed by a regular written update and continuous progress tracking
• Serve as the primary point of contact for the client’s program leadership on program-level matters, while individual Engagement Managers own their account relationships directly
• Read and adapt to changes in the client’s own organization, adjusting the program’s engagement model in step with how the partner organization evolves
• Run interference for the team, stepping in directly with the client when requests land unreasonably rather than passing pressure down to individual team members
• Partner with Legal, Finance, and internal leadership to negotiate and close contract renewals, including headcount, fee structure, KPI-based adjustments, and delivery-model scope
• Maintain working fluency in contract mechanics, including redlines, rate structures, and budget tracking, enough to catch issues early and drive documents to signature
• Track program KPIs against target and proactively work with the team to course-correct the moment forecasts show signs of drifting off track
• Partner closely with the recruiting team to shape hiring strategy, screening criteria, and final hiring decisions for the engagement team, leading through influence and credibility rather than a formal reporting relationship
• Act as the primary point of resolution when client leadership raises a performance concern about a team member, balancing the client relationship with fair, considered outcomes for your people
• Own the onboarding curriculum and keep it current as the team and tools evolve, and monitor team capacity and workload proactively
• Maintain the program’s core artifacts and a growing library of reusable playbooks and tools, treating documentation and process as a deliverable in their own right

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

• Background in program/client delivery management, ideally within a staff-augmentation, matrix organization, consulting, or professional-services model
• Comfort owning a portfolio of engagements without running any single one directly
• Demonstrated executive stakeholder management: experience running recurring readouts or steerco-style meetings with senior client-side executives (VP/Director+) and briefing internal C-suite leadership
• Strong, tone-adaptive communication and comfort moving between Engagement Managers, client-side leadership, and internal executives
• Informal leadership that builds cohesion, and the ability to rally a team around shared goals and a common bar for quality, using trust and communication rather than positional authority
• A builder’s instinct for process and documentation, comfortable creating and maintaining trackers, onboarding curricula, and playbooks rather than just executing against someone else’s
• Ability to synthesize cross-functional information into clear, AI-augmented systems
• Ability to partner with Legal, Finance, and leadership to negotiate and close SOWs, plan and account for headcount, KPI-based fee adjustments, and delivery-model splits, and track budget burn against the SOW to flag variances early
• Ownership of program KPIs against target, with a track record of proactively working with a team to course-correct when forecasts show signs of drifting off track
• High tolerance for ambiguity and comfort navigating a partner organization that changes its own structure with little notice

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience scaling a distributed team
• A keen eye for identifying expansion opportunities across an account portfolio, spotting where a program can grow and translating that into a clear business case for leadership and the client
• Familiarity with generative AI tools in a creative or marketing context
• Background in agency operations, martech, or enterprise software adoption programs
• Experience partnering with a recruiting or talent team on a live, time-sensitive hiring pipeline

We’re a dynamic team of 400+ globally distributed members who thrive working from our favorite places around the world, with teammates spanning the USA, Canada, Japan, Hungary, Nigeria, Brazil, the UK, and beyond!

We’re searching for passionate individuals eager to contribute to Alpaca’s rapid growth. If you align with our core values—Stay Curious, Have Empathy, and Be Accountable—and are ready to make a significant impact, we encourage you to apply.

Role

Lead the team that commands Alpaca’s most critical incidents. You will build the function and then keep raising its bar: the severity model, the escalation and communication paths, 24x7 follow-the-sun coverage, and the KPIs that prove it is improving. You will do that across boundaries - with the engineering teams who own the services, with SRE on reliability standards and on-call readiness, with Risk on financial and regulatory materiality, with our partner communications teams on what reaches a customer, and with reliability programme management on what happens after.

You will own how well we respond. Not the fix, not the partner communication, and not the reliability standard. Holding that line is a deliberate part of the design and a core part of the job.

Things You Get To Do

• Build the team and stand up 24x7 command. Recruit and certify Incident Commanders, build a follow-the-sun rotation across APAC, EMEA and AMER with warm handoffs at every regional boundary, and carry a rostered slot yourself. Keep the team sharp between real incidents with game days, tabletop exercises and simulations, and coach them through the live ones. Build a blameless review culture that treats an outlier as a process gap rather than a person’s failure.
• Own the process, and keep raising it. Drive severity maturity with Risk on financial and regulatory materiality - in a regulated brokerage a severity call can also start a reporting clock, so the model has to map cleanly onto those thresholds. Own the escalation path and what happens when a page goes unanswered, agree the thresholds for taking an incident to engineering leadership, and keep the service catalogue and its ownership current - time spent working out who owns a failing service is customer impact.
• Own both bridges. Your team connects the engineers and technical support fixing the problem, who need uninterrupted focus, to the partner communications teams, who need a continuous and accurate feed. You open the channel, supply the facts and hold the update cadence to account. Afterwards, your team runs the retrospective with SRE - who own the technical depth - and builds the post-incident package while the room is still warm, every item ticketed, owned and tagged, delivered inside a service level you define and then hold, before reliability programme management drives it to closure. You then synthesise the discussion into short, digestible learnings and publish them to the whole engineering organisation, so one team’s failure becomes everyone’s lesson instead of a document three people read.
• Own the KPIs. Time to respond and time to mitigate end to end, including the definitions and data hygiene beneath them: what separates mitigated from resolved, and whether a timestamp means what it claims. Establish a defensible baseline before committing to targets, then move them by severity. Review and approval, not authorship, is where postmortems stall, so report overdue reviews by team and incident with a next action against each.
• Build it as a product, then automate it with AI. Everything is documented, versioned and deployable, so you can stand up command from the artefacts alone; the process needs to scale considerably faster than the team. The automation we are after is AI workflows and agents rather than scripts and dashboards - agents that set an incident up, assemble the timeline as it runs, draft the RCA and the action package, and chase the update that is due or the review that is overdue. You own that roadmap: what an agent may do unsupervised, what still needs a commander’s judgement, and the decision-tree quality that makes either of them safe.

Who You Are (Must-Haves)

• You have stood up an incident command or major-incident function, not only worked inside one - you have owned the severity model, built the roster and driven adoption across teams.
• 5+ years in production engineering, SRE or technical operations, including hands-on command of high-severity incidents.
• You have led a distributed team across time zones and run a 24x7 rotation.
• You get engineers you do not manage to do things, and you can defend a severity call to someone who disagrees with it.
• You have built reliability metrics people trust, and you know the difference between improving a number and improving reality.
• You are disciplined about scope. You can say “that is not ours” and route it, in the middle of an outage, without leaving a gap.
• You write well enough that your process documents actually get used, you can hold a bridge calm under pressure, and you can brief an executive mid-incident without either downplaying it or dramatising it.
• You understand FinTech and the trust stakes of API-driven financial platforms.
• You use AI and agentic automation to remove toil rather than to add tooling.

Who You Might Be (Nice-to-Haves)

• Formal incident command training - ITIL, Major Incident Management or crisis management.
• You have run a certification, game day or drill programme, or built a pool of certified responders beyond your own headcount.
• Experience with modern incident management and on-call platforms.
• You have built a service catalogue or ownership registry that people actually maintained.
• You have worked with programme management or reliability functions to convert incident follow-ups into funded roadmap work.
• Familiarity with incident reporting obligations in regulated financial services - DORA, Reg SCI, FINRA or equivalent.
• Online securities trading or capital markets experience, or another regulated, market-hours-sensitive domain.
• You have deployed the same operating model into a second region or entity.

How We Take Care of You:

• Competitive Salary & Stock Options
• Health Benefits
• New Hire Home-Office Setup: One-time USD $500
• Monthly Stipend: USD $150 per month via a Brex Card

• Understanding and history of working in regulated environments.

Ways of working

• You prioritise exceptionally well when operational load and project work compete, and you protect your team’s focus without dropping the operational commitment.
• You write clearly. Remote is fully distributed and async, so most of your leadership will happen in writing.
• You build relationships across teams. A lot of SRE’s value comes from being the team others bring problems to early.

Nice to have

• Working knowledge of a backend language, ideally Elixir, or otherwise Java, Clojure, Node.js, Python or similar.
• Depth in modern observability: OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, and tools such as Honeycomb.
• Database operations experience, particularly PostgreSQL or Aurora performance, connection pool health and query tuning.
• Running and configuring Linux systems outside a cloud environment.

About the job

Testlio’s fully managed crowdsourced testing platform integrates expert, on-demand testers directly into your release process. Ship faster and more confidently with global coverage across 600,000+ devices, 800+ payment methods, 150+ countries, and 100+ languages. To learn more, visit www.testlio.com.

We are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead the team that owns every way the outside world connects to Testlio: our partner integrations, our public API, our identity and access surfaces. If a client’s Jira, a client’s CI pipeline, a client’s engineer, or a client’s AI agent touches Testlio, it goes through your team’s systems. This role reports to the Director, Engineering.

Why will you love this job?

• Own the platform’s contract with the world. You’ll lead the one team that covers the whole programmatic perimeter: bi-directional sync with a dozen tools (Jira, Xray, Azure DevOps, GitHub, GitLab, Asana, Linear, Monday, TestRail, Trello, YouTrack, Slack), enterprise SSO, our public API.
• Build the API as a product, not a byproduct. We have a written public-API strategy: OpenAPI contracts as the source of truth, major and dated versioning, uniform auth, granular API roles, rate limiting, end-to-end request tracing.
• Make support self-serve. You’ll cut recurring support work at the source, with self-serve setup and diagnostics, integration health visible to the people who need it, and automation and permanent fixes instead of repeat manual triage.
• Partner with product and with real customers. You’ll work closely with a dedicated product manager on discovery, prioritization, and outcomes, and also directly with enterprise client engineering teams who build against our API.

Why will you love being a part of Testlio?

• Great Culture: Testlio is a female-founded company, and half of our team identifies as women. We’re proud of our inclusive, purpose-driven culture where people genuinely enjoy collaborating. As part of our team (we call ourselves TestLions), you’ll help create exceptional digital experiences for our customers, while also contributing to our freelance network.
• Remote Work: Our culture is built around remote work. We’ve created systems to allow us to successfully work together asynchronously as a fully remote and globally distributed team. Testlio provides the tools and guidance for everyone to succeed in their careers in a fully remote setting. Our working style encourages everyone to make decisions, communicate effectively, and work at a sustainable pace.
• Investment in You: Your growth and well-being matter to us. You’ll have flexible paid time off—including national holidays, personal days, and sick days—plus stock options so you can grow with Testlio. We also provide a $300 annual learning stipend to support your personal and professional development.
• Winning Business: Testlio is growing, profitable, and cash-strong. We are leading our industry with exceptional clients who provide us with a high NPS score and a 4.7 rating on G2. Our business model is global, enterprise, and subscription-based. Several of our largest clients have been with us for 7+ years, and many spend $500K+/year with Testlio.

What would your day look like?

Shaping what’s next

• Stay close to the code: Expect to spend roughly 20–30% of your time on hands-on engineering, including writing production code, providing substantive reviews on critical-path pull requests, and signing off on key technical designs. You’ll help remove critical technical bottlenecks and contribute directly when needed, while empowering the team to own and deliver work independently.
• Public API strategy: Own Testlio’s public API end to end: OpenAPI specifications kept current in every service repo and treated as the consumer contract, a coherent versioning and deprecation policy, consistent authentication and authorization on every endpoint, rate limiting, and traceability across the request path.
• Integration architecture: Set the multi-quarter technical direction for a sync platform that must stay correct across a dozen third-party APIs, each with its own data model, rate limits, and release cadence. Reduce per-vendor special-casing in favour of a common mapping and sync core.
• Roadmap ownership: Turn strategy into a sequenced roadmap with your product partner, and own technical delivery from concept to production.

Running it with rigor

• Engineering operating rhythm: Establish effective planning, prioritization, and design review practices that balance delivery speed with long-term scalability.
• Technical leadership: Combine engineering vision and team mentorship with hands-on technical contribution, staying close to the codebase to understand the team’s work and make informed technical decisions.
• Third-party dependency management: Own the risk that comes with depending on other people’s APIs. Track vendor changelogs, deprecations and sunset dates, plan migrations before they become incidents, and keep credential, token, and connection failures from turning into client-visible outages.
• Production support and escalations: Own production support for your domains, including triage, escalation management, and root-cause resolution. Drive automation, self-serve setup, and permanent fixes that measurably reduce recurring support volume and improve operational efficiency.
• Reliability and observability: Define service level objectives for sync freshness, sync success rate, and API availability and latency; build the dashboards that make integration health self-serve; and lead root-cause analysis on production issues.Engineering standards: Ensure work is traceable and the Definition of Done is consistently met, minimizing escaped defects and keeping cloud costs in check.

Location: This is a 100% remote role and is open to candidates residing in the United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, and Estonia. Visa sponsorship is not available.

About the job

Testlio’s fully managed crowdsourced testing platform integrates expert, on-demand testers directly into your release process. Ship faster and more confidently with global coverage across 600,000+ devices, 800+ payment methods, 150+ countries, and 100+ languages. To learn more, visit www.testlio.com.

We are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead the team that owns every way the outside world connects to Testlio: our partner integrations, our public API, our identity and access surfaces. If a client’s Jira, a client’s CI pipeline, a client’s engineer, or a client’s AI agent touches Testlio, it goes through your team’s systems. This role reports to the Director, Engineering.

Why will you love this job?

• Own the platform’s contract with the world. You’ll lead the one team that covers the whole programmatic perimeter: bi-directional sync with a dozen tools (Jira, Xray, Azure DevOps, GitHub, GitLab, Asana, Linear, Monday, TestRail, Trello, YouTrack, Slack), enterprise SSO, our public API.
• Build the API as a product, not a byproduct. We have a written public-API strategy: OpenAPI contracts as the source of truth, major and dated versioning, uniform auth, granular API roles, rate limiting, end-to-end request tracing.
• Make support self-serve. You’ll cut recurring support work at the source, with self-serve setup and diagnostics, integration health visible to the people who need it, and automation and permanent fixes instead of repeat manual triage.
• Partner with product and with real customers. You’ll work closely with a dedicated product manager on discovery, prioritization, and outcomes, and also directly with enterprise client engineering teams who build against our API.

Why will you love being a part of Testlio?

• Great Culture: Testlio is a female-founded company, and half of our team identifies as women. We’re proud of our inclusive, purpose-driven culture where people genuinely enjoy collaborating. As part of our team (we call ourselves TestLions), you’ll help create exceptional digital experiences for our customers, while also contributing to our freelance network.
• Remote Work: Our culture is built around remote work. We’ve created systems to allow us to successfully work together asynchronously as a fully remote and globally distributed team. Testlio provides the tools and guidance for everyone to succeed in their careers in a fully remote setting. Our working style encourages everyone to make decisions, communicate effectively, and work at a sustainable pace.
• Investment in You: Your growth and well-being matter to us. You’ll have flexible paid time off—including national holidays, personal days, and sick days—plus stock options so you can grow with Testlio. We also provide a $300 annual learning stipend to support your personal and professional development.
• Winning Business: Testlio is growing, profitable, and cash-strong. We are leading our industry with exceptional clients who provide us with a high NPS score and a 4.7 rating on G2. Our business model is global, enterprise, and subscription-based. Several of our largest clients have been with us for 7+ years, and many spend $500K+/year with Testlio.

What would your day look like?

Shaping what’s next

• Stay close to the code: Expect to spend roughly 20–30% of your time on hands-on engineering, including writing production code, providing substantive reviews on critical-path pull requests, and signing off on key technical designs. You’ll help remove critical technical bottlenecks and contribute directly when needed, while empowering the team to own and deliver work independently.
• Public API strategy: Own Testlio’s public API end to end: OpenAPI specifications kept current in every service repo and treated as the consumer contract, a coherent versioning and deprecation policy, consistent authentication and authorization on every endpoint, rate limiting, and traceability across the request path.
• Integration architecture: Set the multi-quarter technical direction for a sync platform that must stay correct across a dozen third-party APIs, each with its own data model, rate limits, and release cadence. Reduce per-vendor special-casing in favour of a common mapping and sync core.
• Roadmap ownership: Turn strategy into a sequenced roadmap with your product partner, and own technical delivery from concept to production.

Running it with rigor

• Engineering operating rhythm: Establish effective planning, prioritization, and design review practices that balance delivery speed with long-term scalability.
• Technical leadership: Combine engineering vision and team mentorship with hands-on technical contribution, staying close to the codebase to understand the team’s work and make informed technical decisions.
• Third-party dependency management: Own the risk that comes with depending on other people’s APIs. Track vendor changelogs, deprecations and sunset dates, plan migrations before they become incidents, and keep credential, token, and connection failures from turning into client-visible outages.
• Production support and escalations: Own production support for your domains, including triage, escalation management, and root-cause resolution. Drive automation, self-serve setup, and permanent fixes that measurably reduce recurring support volume and improve operational efficiency.
• Reliability and observability: Define service level objectives for sync freshness, sync success rate, and API availability and latency; build the dashboards that make integration health self-serve; and lead root-cause analysis on production issues.Engineering standards: Ensure work is traceable and the Definition of Done is consistently met, minimizing escaped defects and keeping cloud costs in check.

The Future of Life Institute (FLI) is hiring a Special Projects Manager for the Communications Team. The Communications Team produces a high volume of design and digital work — websites, campaign microsites, event identities, reports and assets — for a global audience, often on fast timelines tied to policy moments. We work with a retained external studio that delivers design and development from briefs, supported by a small in-house team. You will be the person who makes that model work - driving diverse projects from initial scoping all the way to completion.

The Special Projects Manager will report directly to the Director of Communications.

Who we are

FLI educates and engages lawmakers, key stakeholders, and the general public about transformative technologies and their implications. We advocate for policies and approaches that mitigate catastrophic risks while advancing positive futures for humanity.

As Special Projects Manager, you will:

• Develop briefs: translate stakeholder requirements into clear, actionable creative and technical briefs, and push back constructively when asks are unclear, conflicting or unscoped.

• Oversee project performance and progress: work with internal and external stakeholders to define what success looks like for each project, integrate those goals into design and content strategies, and develop/execute comms projects that reflect them.

• Identify, onboard and manage agencies and contractors: i dentify the skill gaps required to make a project shine, then source and steer talent to fill those gaps through web development agencies or individual freelancers.

• Own quality assurance: define what “done” looks like — reviewing deliverables against brief, brand guidelines and accessibility standards (WCAG), running structured review rounds, and holding the final quality bar before anything ships.

• Product innovation: ideate and develop digital products to help achieve FLI’s mission and meet org objectives.

• Run special projects: deliver multi-month initiatives such as international creative contests end to end.

• Steward brand coherence: work with the website development agency to maintain our design system and keep high-volume output visually consistent.

Required experience and qualifications:

• Based in a timezone between West Coast, USA and the UK (UTC-8 to UTC+1).

• Proven ability to coordinate complex, multi-stakeholder projects — comfortable navigating competing priorities, securing alignment from senior colleagues, and turning messy input into clear direction.

• A track record of building or significantly improving delivery processes — intake, review, QA or approval workflows — not just operating within them.

• Project management experience across design, communications and/or digital/web projects, ideally including managing external agencies.

Required skills and qualities:

• Genuine interest in FLI’s mission and the issues we work on — able to represent our work credibly to agencies, judges, contest entrants and partners.

• Sharp quality instincts and the confidence to send things back when they’re not right (ideally provable with a portfolio of shipped work you’ve quality-assured).

• Calm under deadline pressure; comfortable saying no and offering alternatives.

Preferred qualifications, skills and qualities:

• Experience running participatory or multi-stakeholder projects — contests, awards, grant rounds, festivals or similar.

• Familiarity with website delivery: CMS platforms and enough technical literacy to triage issues and talk credibly with developers.

• Working knowledge of SEO and digital audience growth: technical and on-page fundamentals, analytics tools (e.g. GA4, Search Console), and how content and campaign decisions affect reach.

• Nonprofit, policy, advocacy or campaign experience.

$100,000 - $190,000 a year

Exact compensation will vary depending on experience and geography.

For US hires, additional benefits include: health insurance, 24+ days of PTO per year, paid parental leave, 401k matching in the US, a work from home allowance for the purchase of office supplies or equipment, and a professional development budget.

Exact benefits will depend on location.

Application Process: Apply by uploading your resume, a portfolio of design products you have quality assured (if available), alongside a short answer to the following question(s):

• In 200 words or less, please describe the digital or communications project you are most proud of working on. What was the project and how were your contributions critical to its success.

• In 200 words or less, outline why are you interested in working at FLI in particular

Please apply via our website. Email applications are not accepted.

FLI aims to be an inclusive organization. We proactively seek job applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds. If you are passionate about FLI’s mission and think you have what it takes to be successful in this role even though you may not check all the boxes, please still apply. We would appreciate the opportunity to consider your application.

• Calm under deadline pressure; comfortable saying no and offering alternatives.

Preferred qualifications, skills and qualities:

• Experience running participatory or multi-stakeholder projects — contests, awards, grant rounds, festivals or similar.

• Familiarity with website delivery: CMS platforms and enough technical literacy to triage issues and talk credibly with developers.

• Working knowledge of SEO and digital audience growth: technical and on-page fundamentals, analytics tools (e.g. GA4, Search Console), and how content and campaign decisions affect reach.

• Nonprofit, policy, advocacy or campaign experience.
