Overview Of Opportunity

Two Six Technologies is dedicated to providing high-end information technology services to federal and commercial clients. We provide reliable and repeatable results by leveraging best practices and proven technologies throughout a project's lifecycle. Our employees are highly talented individuals with both management and technical experience and have a history of delivering successes to their clients. Unlike other defense contractors, if an employee is interested in other contracts or positions, we immediately strive to fulfill their request. Employees are encouraged to continue learning new skills whether through a conference, a training course, or even a new degree. Finally, the company tries to deviate from having hierarchical titles to a system more focused on performance and personal preference.

We are currently seeking a Project Manager for our Mclean, VA location. The individual in this role will be responsible for delivery of customer-focused IT projects.

S/he will apply expertise in Agile project management processes to support program development, integration, and operation of the customer’s IT infrastructure (i.e., full systems lifecycle of the IT infrastructure).

The ideal candidate will have experience performing industry-standard Agile Project Management tasks and tailoring standard process lifecycles to function effectively in a small, fast-paced environment. S/he must have strong written and verbal individual and organizational communication skills and the ability to articulate technical project requirements to both customers and internal teams.

What You Will Do

• Facilitate scrum ceremonies and communicate with stakeholders.
• Coordinate development of deliverables and products.
• Manage multiple medium- to large-scale projects through all sprints/iterations and phases of the project
• Organize and facilitate sprint planning and release planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and other Agile-related events
• Track and communicate team metrics and sprint/release progress to all teams and management
• Partner with product owners, Agile coaches, and scrum teams to develop user stories and acceptance criteria definition, facilitate the definition of minimal viable product, and lead continuous refinement and prioritization of the product backlog
• Assist the team in making appropriate commitments through story selection and task definition
• Assist with removal of obstacles that may hinder the team’s ability to deliver assigned goals
• Update Agile tracking systems to provide transparency on product and sprint backlogs
• Promote continuous improvement and help teams increase velocity
• Promote a collaborative team environment that fosters creativity and innovation
• Ability to communicate, influence, and partner effectively using strong verbal and written communication
• Prepare and present program status reports and briefings to outside stakeholders

What You Will Need
