Framework Flexibility: Dynamically pivot teams between Scrum and Kanban methodologies based on operational intake, platform maintenance, and enhancement delivery needs.
Delivery Metric Tracking: Monitor and optimize key delivery metrics, with a strong focus on tracking work item cycle time, burndown velocity, and workflow bottlenecks.
Tooling Administration: Act as the primary administrator and champion for Jira and Confluence, maintaining crisp backlog hygiene, sprint boards, and documentation.
Cross-Functional Pod Leadership: Coach and mentor a pod of 10–15 developers, data engineers, and analysts; remove delivery blockers; foster self-organization; and drive continuous improvement.

Leadership & Team Formation: Demonstrated ability to build, stand up, and align new or transforming engineering pods into high-performing sprint teams; prior people management experience is a strong asset.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, or a related discipline (or equivalent practical industry experience).
