Risk, Dependency & Governance Management • Proactively identify, manage, and drive resolution of program‑level risks, impediments, and cross‑team dependencies. • Partner with Product, Engineering, and leadership stakeholders to remove obstacles and ensure alignment. • Ensure appropriate program governance through oversight of required delivery artifacts and documentation (e.g., program initiation materials, change requests, and closures) in alignment with organizational standards. AI‑Enabled Delivery & Continuous Improvement • Leverage AI‑enabled features within Agile lifecycle and delivery tools (e.g., Azure DevOps or similar platforms) to enhance planning accuracy, dependency visibility, forecasting, and delivery insights. • Utilize data and AI‑assisted analytics to identify trends, predict risks, and support continuous improvement at the program level. Qualifications • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Business, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience). • 5 to 7 years of progressive experience in Agile delivery, program management, or related leadership roles. • 2+ years of experience in a leadership role within a scaled Agile program or multi-team environment. • Strong knowledge of Agile‑Lean principles, methodologies, and frameworks. • Agile or Scrum certification (e.g., CSM, PSM, PMI‑ACP); scaling Agile certification is strongly preferred (e.g., SAFe Agilist, SAFe Program Consultant, RTE). • Solid understanding of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) practices, including CI/CD, TDD, BDD, and modern engineering practices. • Experience using Azure DevOps or similar tools for backlog, program, and delivery management. • Proven ability to lead and influence without authority, working effectively across Product, Engineering, and executive stakeholders. • Strong communication, facilitation, organizational, analytical, and critical‑thinking skills. • Experience leading distributed and remote teams, including coordination across U.S. and offshore resources.
