  • Manage application development and infrastructure initiatives using appropriate Agile and Waterfall delivery practices.
  • Manage project backlogs and delivery tracking through Azure DevOps (ADO) or similar tools, including project setup and story-point tracking.
  • Support the organization's ongoing Agile transformation and perform Scrum Master responsibilities as required, including facilitating daily stand-ups and other Agile ceremonies.
  • Proactively identify and address delivery challenges while operating independently and maintaining strong attention to detail.

  • Demonstrated experience communicating with executive-level stakeholders, providing timely updates and maintaining stakeholder alignment.
  • Experience reporting key financial metrics, project risks and issues, and mitigation plans to executive stakeholders.
  • Strong experience tracking and optimizing project financials to support efficient resource allocation.
  • Experience using project management and tracking tools such as Azure DevOps (ADO), PPM tools, and ServiceNow will be an asset, including managing project backlogs and accounting for story points.
  • Demonstrated ability to work effectively in both Agile and Waterfall environments, with experience supporting Agile transformation and performing Scrum Master responsibilities as needed.
  • Strong data analysis skills and proficiency with Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, combined with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, attention to detail, curiosity, and the ability to operate independently with a proactive, self-driven approach.
