In this role, you will partner with stakeholders and delivery teams to set goals, facilitate alignment, remove obstacles, and keep work moving forward.

• Manage dependencies and change requests, balancing delivery needs with team capacity and stakeholder expectations
• Support requirements and backlog clarity by coordinating inputs, confirming acceptance criteria, and keeping work ready for execution
• Track timelines and resourcing; support budget planning as needed

• Create strong communication rhythms: agendas, notes, action items, and concise status updates tailored to each audience
• Provide steady team leadership in ambiguous situations by clarifying next steps, aligning owners, and reinforcing priorities

Delivery & Process

• Facilitate Scrum/Agile ceremonies (daily stand-ups, sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives) to promote transparency and accountability
• Coach teams and partners on Agile principles, working agreements, and effective collaboration practices
• Track and communicate cross-team dependencies; help teams plan realistic commitments and deliver predictable outcomes

Stakeholder Collaboration

• Build strong relationships with stakeholders and team members to create trust and shared accountability
• Facilitate collaboration across functions to align scope, priorities, timelines, and expectations
• Lead meetings that drive decisions and action, helping resolve misalignment and address conflict constructively

Risk Management

• Identify potential risks and develop mitigation strategies to address them
• Proactively resolve issues and conflicts that may arise during the project lifecycle
• Ensure alignment with applicable policies and requirements (e.g., security, privacy, regulatory, or operational)

Continuous Improvement

• Promote Agile/Scrum practices and help teams improve planning, estimation, and delivery consistency
• Drive continuous improvement using retrospectives, feedback loops, and actionable experiments
• Use basic delivery metrics (e.g., flow, throughput, predictability) to improve forecasting and team effectiveness

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree and 8+ years of related experience; Scrum Master (CSM/PSM) and/or PMP certification is a plus
• Demonstrated ability to lead and influence without direct authority in a cross-functional environment
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to tailor messages to different audiences and drive decisions
• Solid documentation skills to capture conversations, decisions, project plans, next steps, and interdependencies
• Experience using tools to support delivery and transparency (e.g., Jira/Azure DevOps, Confluence)
• Excellent leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet deadlines
• Hands-on experience facilitating Agile/Scrum practices, coaching teams, and removing impediments to improve delivery

Preferred Skills

• Strong facilitation skills, including navigating conflict, building consensus, and keeping groups aligned
• Experience partnering with Product Owners/Leads on backlog refinement, prioritization, and release planning
• Experience supporting multiple teams or a scaled Agile environment (e.g., shared services, program increments, or cross-team delivery)
