• Coach teams on practical agile delivery practices that improve predictability, transparency, and collaboration
• Reinforce best practices within agile ceremonies including sprint planning, backlog refinement, and standups
• Facilitate retrospectives that allow the team to reflect and continuously improve on their collaboration and delivery practices monthly (at minimum)
• Identify delivery inefficiencies and help teams improve workflows, decision-making, and execution rhythms
• Mentor other Project Managers and contribute to org-wide delivery best practices as needed
• Contribute to continuous improvement of PMO standards, templates, and delivery practices
• Build strong working relationships across technical and business functions
• Provide concise and transparent updates tailored to different audiences, including senior leadership

• Experience supporting multiple concurrent initiatives or workstreams
• Strong organizational, communication, and stakeholder management skills
• Excellent leadership, communication (written, verbal, and presentation) and interpersonal skills
• Self-motivated, decisive, with the ability to adapt to change and competing demands
• Flexible with proven ability to conform to shifting priorities, demands, and timelines through analytical and problem-solving capabilities
• Ability to learn, understand and apply new technologies
• Proven ability to work in an ambiguous environment and collaborate across multiple areas to achieve business objectives
• Exposure to PMO environments, delivery governance, or portfolio coordination
