Agile Program Manager3 days a week to South San Francisco/Pharma ClientHybrid RoleDesired skill - commercial pharmaRole Overview
We are looking for a versatile and strategic
Agile Program Manager to bridge the gap between high-level strategic product roadmaps and day-to-day agile execution. In this dual-impact role, you will own the end-to-end delivery of complex, cross-functional technical programs while championing agile principles, removing impediments, and keeping cross-functional development squads humming.
You will operate at both ends of the telescope: partnering with leadership to align program milestones with business objectives, and working directly with product managers, engineers, and designers to optimize sprint execution, velocity, and predictability.
Key ResponsibilitiesProgram Management- End-to-End Delivery: Own the planning, execution, and communication of high-visibility, cross-functional technical programs from inception to launch.
- Roadmap & Milestone Tracking: Translate strategic business goals into structured program timelines, defining clear milestones, dependencies, and critical paths.
- Risk & Stakeholder Management: Proactively identify delivery risks, devise mitigation strategies, and keep stakeholders and executive leadership informed through transparent status reporting.
- Resource & Capacity Alignment: Collaborate with engineering and product leads to manage resource allocation and ensure teams are set up for sustainable delivery.
Scrum Master & Agile Leadership- Facilitate Scrum Events: Lead core agile ceremonies—including Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Backlog Grooming, Sprint Reviews, and Retrospectives—keeping them focused, efficient, and actionable.
- Impediment Removal: Actively shield the team from external distractions and clear operational, technical, or interpersonal roadblocks to maintain continuous momentum.
- Metrics & Continuous Improvement: Track and analyze key agile metrics (e.g., velocity, burndown/burnup charts, cycle time) to coach teams toward continuous process optimization.
- Agile Evangelism: Foster a culture of psychological safety, cross-functional collaboration, transparency, and high ownership within product development squads.
Qualifications & SkillsMust-Haves- Experience: 5+ years of combined experience in technical program management, project management, and serving as a Scrum Master within software development or data-driven environments.
- Agile Mastery: Deep expertise in Scrum/Agile frameworks, with certifications such as CSM (Certified ScrumMaster), PMI-ACP, or PMP.
- Tool Proficiency: Advanced fluency in agile tracking and project management software (such as Jira, Confluence, or similar tools) for managing backlogs, sprints, and release burndowns.
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Proven track record of guiding cross-functional teams (Product, Engineering, QA, Design, Data) through complex product releases without relying on formal authority.
Nice-to-Haves- Experience in commercial pharma and life sciences.
- Experience scaling agile practices across multiple teams (SAFe, LeSS, or custom scaling frameworks).
- Background in data analytics, BI, SaaS products, or complex enterprise software solutions.
- Familiarity with modern software development lifecycles (SDLC) and CI/CD pipelines.
What We Offer- Competitive salary and performance bonus structure.
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits.
- Flexible hybrid work environment and generous PTO.
- Continuous learning and professional development budget.
