You’ll triage issues into actionable tickets, manage sprint processes, and build lasting relationships with stakeholders and contractors. You will navigate ambiguous scenarios with a bias for action, communicating transparently to align priorities and deliver value to users.

Qualifications

• 5 years of experience as a Project Manager, Delivery Manager, Scrum Master, or Product Manager in a complex software development environment with multiple stakeholders

• Experience working with product, design, and engineering teams as a cohesive unit and maintaining open lines of communication in a multi-disciplinary environment

• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Ability to communicate clearly and increase transparency, with a strong competency in situational awareness and conflict resolution
• An adaptive, proactive, empathetic, tenacious, and positive mind

Responsibilities

• Work directly at the intersection of government and the Nava team to manage our sprint process, estimate our efforts, triage incidents, manage expectations, and track and communicate progress as well as remove blockers when needed
• Proactively build relationships with stakeholders and other contractors
• Understand the team’s objectives, systems, and capabilities in order to make decisions about project priorities and to help resolve issues
• Coordinate multiple contractor teams to bring alignment to large ecosystems and create holistic success for everyone
• Accurately report risks, successes, progress, and failures
• Manage the team’s velocity and continually improve our processes for organizing ourselves and our work
• Demonstrate a passion for learning, embrace change, and ask insightful questions particularly about business needs and IT capabilities
