- Promote backlog hygiene and ensure well-defined user stories and acceptance criteria
- Support continuous delivery practices and quality-focused development
- Help drive Agile adoption across the broader program and leadership teams
Project Overview
The examiner workflow tool will modernize and enhance a legacy platform using AWS cloud services. This role is critical to ensuring Agile principles are embedded throughout development, implementation, and ongoing product evolution.
What You Bring
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related discipline
- Minimum 10 years leading projects or major business initiatives
- At least 2 years of IT portfolio or customer relationship management experience
- Hands-on experience serving as a Scrum Master during an Agile transformation
- Strong knowledge of Agile frameworks including Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe
- Experience applying Agile techniques such as user stories, continuous integration, automated testing, and iterative development practices
- Ability to engage, coach, and inspire cross-functional teams
