• Communicating status, progress, and challenges transparently with stakeholders.
• Promoting continuous improvement by encouraging reflection, experimentation, and learning.
• Using delivery metrics and data to support informed decisions and drive improvement.
• Contributing to team growth by sharing best practices and lessons learned.

Requirements:

• 2+ years of experience managing or facilitating delivery in agile or cross‑functional teams.
• Solid understanding of agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban) and experience applying them effectively.
• Strong organisational and facilitation skills, with attention to detail and follow‑through.
• Ability to identify and remove delivery impediments and coordinate across teams when needed.
• Clear and confident communicator who can engage stakeholders at all levels.
• Passion for delivery excellence and supporting teams to achieve their best.
• Agile certification (e.g. Certified Scrum Master, Professional Scrum Master) is desirable.
