Monitor progress against milestones and delivery dates, proactively identifying risks, removing blockers, and driving follow-through to ensure timely delivery.
Facilitate Agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives.
Coordinate with stakeholders to clarify requirements, resolve issues, and communicate priorities, decisions, and schedule changes.
Complete weekly and monthly status reports that cover accomplishments, upcoming priorities, delivery performance, risks, and issues.
Maintain supporting documentation and drive continuous improvements in work planning, execution, reporting, and team efficiency.

3+ years of experience in business analysis, IT project coordination, Agile delivery, or related roles supporting technical engineering teams.
Demonstrated ability to independently organize complex work, manage competing priorities, and consistently meet delivery commitments.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with exceptional attention to detail and a proactive, results-driven approach.
Experience working in Agile environments with proficiency in Jira, Confluence, and reporting tools.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with technical teams and stakeholders.

Top qualifications
Forward Planning & Work Structure - Ability to translate objectives into a prioritized, forward-looking delivery plan with well-defined Epics, stories, acceptance criteria, measurable outcomes, and realistic timelines. Engineers should always know what's next and what done looks like.
Execution & Delivery Accountability - Strong ownership and follow-through. Proactively track commitments, manage dependencies, identify blockers early, and drive work toward agreed delivery dates. I want someone who anticipates problems rather than simply reports them.
Reporting & Operational Visibility - Deliver accurate, meaningful weekly and monthly reports that clearly communicate accomplishments, upcoming milestones, delivery performance, risks, and schedule impacts. Reporting should be driven by reliable Jira data rather than manual status collection.
