You will create a stable, self‑organizing environment with a clear direction, resolve impediments, and continuously improve collaboration and delivery effectiveness across the tribe.

What You Do

• Remove impediments that block progress and proactively manage cross‑squad dependencies.
• Coach teams in Agile values, principles, and cross‑functionality.
• Facilitate Scrum events and foster a collaborative, open‑minded working culture.
• Support Product Owners in structuring and prioritizing the Product Backlog to maximize value.
• Lead and drive the team's adoption of Scrum and other Agile frameworks.

Additional high‑level project management responsibilities:

• Coordinate overarching tribe‑level initiatives, ensuring alignment of timelines, scope, and priorities across squads.
• Steer squads to work closely together and operate as an integrated project team for shared objectives.
• Identify, visualize, and manage risks, issues, and dependencies across teams.
• Facilitate integrated planning, tribe‑wide synchronization, and cross-team delivery alignment.
• Ensure that overarching project goals remain transparent, understood, and on track across all squads.
• Act as a key enabler for collaboration between Product Owners, architects, business stakeholders, and delivery teams.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Business, or a related field.
• Strong Agile mindset and hands-on experience with Agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban, XP).
• Experience in Agile practices, transformation, change management, or consulting roles.
• Ability to coach teams and drive continuous improvement in an Agile environment.

Additional experience for the extended role:

• Demonstrated ability to coordinate multiple squads, manage cross-team dependencies, and deliver complex initiatives involving several teams.
• Experience steering teams to collaborate closely and operate as an integrated delivery unit for cross-cutting programs.
• Strong communication and stakeholder‑management skills at squad, tribe, and leadership levels.
