This role ensures strategic alignment, cross-team delivery coordination, and operational efficiency—focusing on value delivery, planning, and Agile governance.

• Support Agile ceremonies, retrospectives, and governance reporting.
• Provide regular updates and escalations to senior leadership and stakeholders.
• Collaborate with other Program Managers to manage interdependencies and shared resources.
• Guide teams through Agile best practices without being framework-prescriptive.
