• Run key team ceremonies such as sprint planning sessions, daily check-ins, reviews, and retrospectives to maintain momentum and team alignment.
• Work closely with Business Analysts and delivery teams to refine backlogs, confirm readiness of upcoming work, and support effective prioritization.
• Monitor performance indicators and project data to provide transparency, identify improvement opportunities, and strengthen delivery consistency.
• Build strong relationships with clients and stakeholders by translating business needs into practical delivery plans and managing communications proactively.
• Contribute to Agile adoption and broader delivery improvement efforts by coaching teams, sharing best practices, and supporting the development of standards and playbooks.
• At least 5 years of experience in project management or delivery leadership roles.
• Proven background delivering projects through both Agile and hybrid methodologies in dynamic, high-pressure settings.
• Demonstrated success managing multiple concurrent client-focused initiatives with competing deadlines and priorities.
• Hands-on proficiency with Jira, Confluence, Microsoft Project, and Excel.
• Strong knowledge of core project management disciplines, including planning, budgeting, quality oversight, risk control, and governance.
• Solid understanding of Agile frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe.
