• Be a day-to-day point of contact for clients, managing their expectations and implementing the resolution of project and/or program-level issues independently
• Proactively and independently look to solve problems and identify opportunities for continuous improvement
• Lead agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives, to ensure continuous delivery of business value
• Play the lead role in understanding and interpreting client data and AI needs, and working with data engineering and analytics teams to deliver scalable solutions
