  • Own program delivery for multiple complex initiatives with committed deadlines, known / unknown scope, and cross-team dependencies

  • Expertise in working with and setting up agile development practices (especially Scrum and / or Kanban), methodologies and tools
  • 4+ years of Project Management experience (PMP preferred but not required)
  • 4+ years Scrum experience, with at least two as ScrumMaster (CSM strongly desired)
  • 3+ years technical experience such as software developer or business analyst is ideal but not required
