• Apply Agile delivery practices, facilitating ceremonies such as sprint planning, backlog refinement, and stand-ups when needed.
• Promote a culture of process improvement, helping teams identify efficiencies in execution and reporting.

What We're Looking For:

• 5-10 years of experience in IT project management, preferably within infrastructure or shared services domains.
• Strong command of project management methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid) and tools (e.g. but not limited to, Jira, Rally, MS Project, Confluence).
• Proven ability to influence without direct authority, gaining alignment and commitment from diverse stakeholders.
• Excellent organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Outstanding verbal and written communication skills, with experience preparing senior leaders and executive-level reporting.
