• Run efficient stand-ups, sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives focused on outcomes.

• Coordinate across teams to ensure smooth, fast, and predictable delivery.

• Coach teams through real-world delivery scenarios, not theoretical Agile models.

• Present progress, risks, and metrics using JIRA and Confluence dashboards.

• Partner with stakeholders and leadership to maintain alignment and transparency.

• Plan and manage production deployments, including Change Requests (ServiceNow).

• Stay current on emerging technologies and industry trends.

AI & Modern Delivery Focus

• Apply AI thoughtfully to Agile execution, including:

o Using AI to support task planning, refinement, and prioritization in JIRA.

o Hands-on experience with tools such as Microsoft Copilot, GitHub Copilot, and/or ChatGPT.

o Ability to explain how you’ve personally used AI to improve delivery, planning, or team efficiency.

• Exposure to AI in testing is a plus, but not required.
