Define program milestones, establish success metrics, and communicate progress and risk profiles to R&D and business leadership.
Serve as the primary operational link bridging Engineering, Product, Design, Data, and go-to-market teams.
Coach engineering squads of varying maturity levels to refine local Scrum and Kanban practices, improving flow and cycle time.
Actively utilize generative AI tools to accelerate daily tasks, synthesize documentation, and automate administrative tracking.

Requirements

Proven track record of successfully guiding complex, multi-team programs with interdependencies from initiation to global launch.
Deep command of Agile and Scrum methodologies, with the ability to adapt frameworks to fit squad-specific contexts.
Advanced hands-on experience utilizing Jira roadmaps, cross-team boards, and Confluence for documentation.
Ability to understand technical architectures, API integrations, and system infrastructure well enough to engage credibly with staff engineers and architects.
Demonstrated experience using AI productivity tools to accelerate personal output and draft communications.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with a track record of translating complex technical states for executive stakeholders.
