Key Responsibilities

  • Partner with Product Management and Engineering Directors to translate product roadmaps into structured, actionable sprint plans and deployment schedules
  • Design, implement, and iterate on agile program governance models to scale team communication and delivery velocity
  • Implement and maintain project tracking tools, utilizing Jira, Confluence, and roadmapping software to establish a single source of truth
  • Define, track, and report on key program execution metrics, velocity, and quality KPIs to technical leadership and executive stakeholders
  • Facilitate critical cross-functional rituals including sprint planning, daily standups, retrospectives, and regular program steering reviews

What We Are Looking For

  • Demonstrated expertise managing complex software development lifecycles (SDLC) across multiple engineering teams using Agile methodologies
  • Advanced proficiency with Jira, Jira Align, Confluence, and modern project mapping tools to build automated tracking dashboards
  • Strong technical fluency, with the ability to understand architectural diagrams, API integrations, and infrastructure constraints
  • Excellent communication and negotiation skills, with a proven ability to influence technical stakeholders without direct authority

Bonus

  • PMP, CSM, or Scaled Agile (SAFe) certifications
  • Experience working with remote-first engineering structures
