  • Organize and manage communications with stakeholders and senior leaders on project execution and delivery. Develop and provide ongoing project status, summaries, scorecards and program/project performance trends to senior leaders and stakeholders.

Preferred skills/experience:

  • Understanding and ability to coach/train fundamental Agile principles and techniques
  • Bring ideas from professional facilitation, coaching, conflict management, mediation and so on to help the team become a high-performance team
  • Able to challenge preconceived ideas in order to bring out the best results in our people
  • Champion continuous improvement activities to reduce waste and increase productivity; coach organization to conduct continuous improvements events
  • Understanding of major agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, LeSS, or Scrum @ Scale) and 3 or more years' experience in at least 1 framework
