All About You: Exhibits working knowledge of agile/SAFe methodologies. Bachelors degree or equivalent combination of training and experience. Knowledge of tools like Rally ALM, Jira, Aha. Listening, oral, written and presentation skills and effective interpersonal skills. Organizational and planning and multi-tasking skills. Local candidates only!! Senior PMT currently 3 squads responsible for being on one of the squads. Position where someone with experience is needed. We have a shortage of PMT's. Need to understand the business requirement and convert them into technical requirements. Working closely with Architects and Product Management Team. Take care of the dependencies as well. We have a bit of initiatives that are up in the air – this week we have planning. Will help the team with the Stand Up Sessions with Architects to compose the features and convert the requirements into technical requirements, then they will draft the stories and prioritize them. Responsible to make use of the research. Will be a self-evolving role – working independently with platform products and architects. We have performance features coming up where they will work closely with the architects on this. Prioritize backlog. Work through road map. Define milestones. Will be part of meetings with Manager to see what can be improved apart from the features they have. Need someone who understands Agile Methodology and has ALM, Jira, Aha Tools etc. (ALM is a high priority, Aha is not really- going forward we will be tying everything up to Aha so they can learn it if they want and it will be really beneficial). We have a TPM and a Scrum Master who will lead all of those ceremonies. Presentation skills. Product integration experience is handled by a product management team. It is nice to understand from this perspective. If a PMT can understand that it will be really beneficial and useful. 15 years of experience would be a little overqualified because they might lose interest in the role but will leave it up to your discretion. 7-8 years of experience would be really good. The team is growing and will grow more. Payments background is a nice to have skill but wouldn't stress upon it as long as they can understand the interdependencies and act quickly to bridge the gap.
