Responsibilities:

Delivery Leadership & Execution

• Champion the end-to-end delivery lifecycle: drive predictable, high-quality increments that meet scope, business, and regulatory standards.
• Lead daily execution and sprint planning, ensuring cross-functional teams consistently deliver impactful outcomes on schedule.
• Plan and facilitate all key cadence-based Agile ceremonies (refinement, planning, reviews, retrospectives) with a strong focus on value delivery, outcome orientation, and time-box discipline.
• Partner closely with Product Owners to shape a prioritized, customer-focused backlog and define release scope; ensure work is sliced for optimal flow and maximum business value.
• Oversee and coordinate release planning, production readiness, and change management across multiple teams, vendor platforms, and integration partners.
• Drive the adoption of advanced capabilities, including AI and machine learning, in support of business goals across billing, payments, and fraud portfolios.

Cross-Team Orchestration & Dependency Management

• Orchestrate delivery and manage dependencies across the Finance technology portfolio, maintaining transparency through robust dependency boards and integrated roadmaps.
• Facilitate cross-team synchronization, joint planning sessions, and collaborative forums with adjacent teams and stakeholders.
• Proactively identify, escalate, and resolve impediments, risks, and conflicts to maintain program momentum and ensure delivery focus.

Agile Practice Excellence & Organizational Agility

• 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.

Stakeholder Communication & Transparency

• 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.
• Foster strong relationships with business and technology leaders, acting as a trusted advisor and advocate for Agile delivery excellence.

• Proven expertise in delivery execution and program planning, with a demonstrated ability to lead day-to-day operations for large-scale initiatives, ensuring consistent delivery of high-quality, compliant solutions within defined scope.
• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline (e.g., Business, Computer Science, Humanities) and a minimum of 6 years of related professional experience.
• Advanced Scrum certification (CSM, CSP, PSM II/III, or equivalent) highly desirable.
• Hands-on experience with Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is preferred.
• Knowledge or training equivalent to advanced (second-level or higher) Lean-Agile certifications from recognized organizations is a plus, though not required.
• Experience contributing to multiple Agile teams across diverse environments and contexts.
