  • Support feature delivery from concept through release

  • Facilitate all Scrum ceremonies including:
  • Sprint Planning
  • Daily Stand-Ups
  • Backlog Refinement
  • Sprint Reviews
  • Retrospectives
  • Track sprint health, delivery progress, team capacity, and blockers
  • Help remove impediments and proactively manage delivery risks
  • Promote Agile and Scrum best practices across the development organization
  • Ensure Jira boards, sprint tracking, and reporting remain accurate and organized
  • Support release planning and deployment coordination when needed

  • Experience working with distributed or cross-functional technical teams
  • SharePoint and Microsoft Office experience preferred

Why This Opportunity

This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys both Product Ownership and Agile delivery and wants to play a key role in how software products are built, prioritized, and delivered.
