Own team-level delivery governance and predictability, ensuring clear goals, realistic planning, and transparent signals on scope, risks and progress.
Facilitate Agile ceremonies including Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-Ups, Reviews, Retrospectives, and Backlog Refinement.
Coach teams on Agile principles, self-organization, and continuous improvement.
Use quantitative and qualitative insights to identify bottlenecks, risks, and improvement opportunities.
Facilitate outcome-focused retrospectives and ensure follow-through on improvement actions.
Own cross-team coordination for work involving supported teams, ensuring dependencies, sequencing, and risks are understood and managed collaboratively.
Partner with Product Operations and TPMs by providing accurate team- and cluster-level plans, capacity, and risk signals.
Requirements
Hands-on experience as a scrum Master or Agile delivery lead supporting software engineering teams.
Strong understanding of Agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban) and modern engineering practices.
Proven facilitation and coaching skills; able to navigate conflict and drive clear outcomes.
Comfort with delivery metrics and basis analytics; ability to translate data into decisions.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to adapt messaging for engineers, product leaders, and executives.
Ability to influence without authority and build strong cross-functional partnerships.
