  • Manage and deliver end-to-end IT and software development projects within Agile SDLC frameworks.
  • Lead cross-functional teams across Product Management, Development, and IT, providing structure, communication, and delivery leadership.
  • Own project planning, milestones, risks, budgets, and reporting, ensuring stakeholder alignment and governance.
  • Facilitate Scrum ceremonies, backlog prioritisation, and Agile coaching for new or developing teams.
  • Identify and mitigate risks and dependencies while maintaining transparency through clear reporting to senior leadership.
  • Partner with business and technical leaders to align delivery with roadmap objectives and portfolio goals.

Requirements

  • 5+ years' experience managing multiple, complex technology projects in Agile environments (Scrum/Kanban).
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with experience presenting to senior and executive audiences.
  • Skilled in Jira, MS Project, Confluence, and SharePoint.
  • Experience managing distributed and offshore teams.
  • Solid understanding of the software development and release lifecycle (SDLC).
