• Lead work in an Agile delivery environment, facilitating sprint planning, daily stand‑ups, reviews, and retrospectives
• Partner closely with product owners, technical leads, and development teams to prioritize and execute work
• Utilize Azure DevOps (ADO) to manage backlogs, track work items, and monitor delivery metrics
• Serve as the central point of communication for stakeholders, providing clear updates on progress, risks, and decisions
• Mentor and guide team members to support strong delivery practices and continuous improvement

Qualifications

• 15+ years of experience managing complex projects or programs
• At least 5 years in Agile delivery
• At least 5 years in traditional waterfall delivery
• Proven experience leading enterprise‑scale, multi‑team initiatives
• Hands‑on experience with Azure DevOps (ADO) for backlog management and work tracking
• Strong critical thinking, problem‑solving, and decision‑making skills
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities
