Role overview

We are hiring an Agile PMO Consultant to support large-scale programs across our portfolio. You will run the project and portfolio rhythm: keeping Jira accurate, preparing executives for decisions, and keeping teams on track against integrated program timelines.

Key responsibilities

Program management and agile delivery

• Build and maintain the integrated program plan against a timeline: milestones, critical path and cross-team dependencies.
• Run the program governance cadence, including program syncs, cross-team stand-ups, sprint reviews, and milestone readiness checkpoints.
• Track progress, risks, issues, and dependencies. Escalate early with a recommended path forward when milestones are at risk.
• Maintain program artifacts: integrated timeline, RAID log, resource and capacity views, and status reporting.
• Help teams apply agile practices consistently while staying aligned to fixed program dates, and suggest improvements where the process slows delivery.

Jira administration and reporting

• Own Jira tracking across teams: boards, epics, features, workflows, fields, and naming standards.
• Build and maintain dashboards, filters, and JQL queries that give leaders a reliable view of progress.
• Produce program metrics such as velocity, burn-up, flow, and progress against program milestones, and explain what they mean.

Executive engagement

• Prepare and facilitate meetings with senior client leaders, including steering committees, portfolio reviews, and leadership syncs.
• Turn complex delivery data into concise, executive-ready updates and presentations.
• Drive decisions: frame the options, capture outcomes, and follow through on action items.

Consulting

• Build trusted relationships with client stakeholders at every level.
• Spot problems before they are raised and take ownership of solving them.
• Contribute to firm initiatives, knowledge sharing and, where appropriate, new business opportunities.

Required qualifications

• 1–5 years of experience in project management, PMO, agile delivery, or management consulting.
• Strong program management fundamentals: integrated planning, milestone and critical-path tracking, dependency and risk management, status reporting.
• Hands-on experience working in an agile environment (Scrum and/or Kanban).
• Strong knowledge of SAFe and scaled agile concepts, with the judgment to apply them in a program run on a fixed, integrated timeline.
• Advanced Jira skills: board and workflow configuration, dashboards, filters and JQL.
• Confidence leading meetings and discussions with senior leaders and executives.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with strong PowerPoint and Excel skills.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred qualifications

• A project management or agile certification, such as CAPM, PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, PSM, or a SAFe certification (e.g. SAFe Agilist or SAFe Scrum Master) preferred but not required.
• Prior consulting or client‑facing experience.
• Familiarity with Confluence or other collaboration tools that pair with Jira.

Who thrives here

You will succeed in this role if you:

• Bring polish and presence. You represent the firm with poise, professionalism, and attention to detail in every interaction and deliverable.
• Lead with initiative. You are a go-getter who acts before being asked, owns outcomes, and follows through.
• Thrive in consulting. You enjoy fast‑paced, ambiguous work, adapt quickly to new stakeholders, and stay calm under pressure.
• Collaborate with warmth. You build trust with teams and executives alike, listen well, and communicate with tact.

Flexible work from home options available.
