• Facilitate cross‑team synchronization, joint planning sessions, and collaborative forums with adjacent teams and stakeholders.
• Proactively identify, elevate, and resolve impediments, risks, and conflicts to maintain program momentum and ensure delivery focus.
• Apply pragmatic Lean‑Agile methods (Scrum, Kanban, XP, etc.) tailored to team and initiative context, driving measurable improvements in flow, collaboration, and quality.
• Champion best‑in‑class engineering quality practices (CI/CD, test automation, code reviews, pairing) in partnership with engineering leads and solution architects.
• Leverage key flow and quality metrics (throughput, cycle/lead time, WIP, flow efficiency, release predictability, defect rates) to inform data‑driven decision making and drive continuous improvement.
• Contribute to the Agile Community of Practice, sharing innovative approaches, effective delivery patterns, and lessons learned to elevate organization‑wide agility and foster a culture of continuous learning.
• Deliver clear, concise, and timely updates on delivery status, risks, mitigation strategies, and key decisions to senior stakeholders across Finance and USRM integration partners.
• Proactively facilitate strategic decision‑making by ensuring the right information reaches the right stakeholders at the right time and context.
