Role Description

At Nüvitek, customer success is our Ethos; together, we drive transformational outcomes. We only succeed when our customers succeed. We partner with our customers to achieve business objectives by using our proven customer-centric, value-driven business practices and service delivery methodologies.

You will be the "boots-on-the-ground" leader responsible for driving the day-to-day execution, ensuring our Agile development teams operate at peak efficiency to meet aggressive milestones, including a critical Minimum Viable Product (MVP) delivery and subsequent system expansions. This role goes beyond moving tickets; you will:

• Anticipate and resolve bottlenecks
• Ensure the program remains strictly within scope, schedule, and contractual constraints

In assuming this position, you will be a critical contributor to meeting Nuvitek's mission: To deliver innovative, cost-effective solutions and services that enable our customers to rapidly adapt to dynamic environments.

• Advanced proficiency in Agile lifecycle management tools, specifically Jira and Confluence (creating reports, dashboards, and managing workflows).

• Demonstrated experience working within formal System Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and governance frameworks.

Requirements

• Lead Agile delivery across multiple high-velocity development pods by facilitating core Scrum ceremonies (Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups, Reviews, and Retrospectives) and keeping teams aligned and productive.
• Monitor team health, velocity, and capacity, and translate detailed Agile progress into concise, actionable updates for program leadership.
• Partner with Product Owner(s) to ensure the backlog is refined, prioritized, and ready at least two sprints ahead.
• Manage the project schedule and Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), ensuring delivery stays aligned to key milestones and timelines.
• Track technical dependencies, including integrations, environments, and infrastructure readiness, and ensure they are resolved on time.
• Identify risks and issues early, drive mitigation actions, and maintain control over scope, schedule, and delivery expectations.
• Support coordination of system integrations and data exchanges across platforms to ensure seamless end-to-end functionality.
• Align delivery with DevSecOps practices, including CI/CD workflows and release processes, to support consistent and reliable deployments.
• Maintain Jira dashboards, burn-down charts, and key metrics to provide visibility into progress and blockers.
• Prepare and deliver regular status updates covering progress, risks, resource utilization, and delivery performance.
• Serve as a key point of contact for client stakeholders, providing clear communication on progress, risks, and upcoming activities.
