Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is an experienced Agile Project Manager who has successfully managed technology delivery teams, facilitated Agile practices, and coordinated complex enterprise projects.

Candidates should demonstrate a balance of traditional project management and hands-on Agile delivery experience, particularly using Azure DevOps.

Important: This is specifically an Agile Project/Program Management position, not a Product Owner or Scrum Product Owner role. Candidates whose primary experience is limited to Product Ownership or backlog management without broader project management responsibilities will not be a fit.

This individual will serve as a hybrid Project Manager, driving Agile delivery practices, coordinating cross-functional teams, managing project milestones and dependencies, and ensuring alignment across multiple ERP workstreams.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in Agile Project Management, hands-on expertise with Azure DevOps, and experience managing enterprise-scale technology initiatives. This role requires someone who can facilitate Agile ceremonies, maintain delivery transparency, manage risks, and drive execution against program commitments.
