This role is ideal for someone who is deeply familiar with Agile/Scrum, has a strong understanding of modern web development, and is comfortable navigating the challenges of distributed teams and enterprise‑grade projects.
Key Responsibilities:
Agile Delivery & Project Management
- Own end‑to‑end delivery of multiple concurrent projects, from initiation through release and post‑launch optimization.
- Plan and facilitate Agile ceremonies (daily stand‑ups, sprint planning, backlog refinement, reviews, and retrospectives).
- Create and maintain roadmaps, release plans, sprint plans, and project timelines that align with business priorities and technical constraints.
- Proactively identify risks, issues, and dependencies; drive mitigation plans and clear decision‑making.
- Monitor and report on delivery progress using Agile metrics (velocity, burndown, cycle time, throughput) and communicate status to stakeholders at all levels.
Stakeholder & Team Collaboration
- Act as the primary point of contact between global product, engineering, UX, and business stakeholders.
- Translate business requirements into actionable user stories and acceptance criteria in collaboration with Product Owners and technical leads.
- Ensure alignment across teams in different regions and time zones, facilitating clear communication and expectations.
- Drive a culture of continuous improvement, psychological safety, and accountability within the team.
Technical Environment & Delivery Excellence
- Work closely with React front‑end engineers and .NET back‑end developers to understand technical constraints, architectural decisions, and integration points.
- Support the team in implementing best practices around code quality, testing, CI/CD, and DevOps in a cloud‑based environment.
- Coordinate front‑end and back‑end workstreams, ensuring consistent APIs, contracts, and integration between services.
- Help teams break down complex features into incremental, testable deliverables that can be released frequently.
Global Project Management
- Manage global projects spanning multiple regions, including planning across time zones and enabling effective asynchronous collaboration.
- Adapt communication style and approach to work effectively with diverse cultural and organizational contexts.
- Coordinate with regional stakeholders for localization, compliance, rollout planning, and change management.
Required Qualifications
- 7+ years of experience in project management or Agile delivery roles (e.g., Scrum Master, Agile PM, Delivery Manager) in a software development environment.
- Proven experience delivering web or digital products with a strong emphasis on front‑end (React or similar SPA frameworks).
- Hands‑on experience managing projects involving .NET (C#, ASP.NET, .NET Core) back‑end services or APIs.
- Strong understanding of Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, or hybrid) and practical experience applying them in real‑world projects.
- Demonstrated success working with global / distributed teams, including coordination across multiple time zones.
- Excellent communication, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non‑technical audiences.
- Experience with project and work management tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, or similar.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Preferred Qualifications
- Certification(s) such as CSM, PSM, PMI‑ACP, SAFe, or PRINCE2 Agile.
- Prior experience in a technical role (e.g., developer, QA, business analyst) or strong technical aptitude sufficient to have meaningful conversations with engineers about architecture and trade‑offs.
- Experience working in a cloud environment (e.g., Azure, AWS, GCP), particularly with CI/CD pipelines and modern DevOps practices.
- Familiarity with UX/UI processes, design systems, and accessibility standards for web applications.
