About The Position

We are seeking an Agile Program Manager to lead delivery across complex, cross-functional programs in a Scrum-based engineering environment while coordinating time-critical initiatives that require structured planning and execution. This role combines direct Scrum team facilitation with agile leadership, program planning, dependency and risk management, stakeholder alignment, and performance tracking to help multiple teams deliver effectively across both iterative and deadline-driven work. The Agile Program Manager operates at a broader level than an Agile Project Manager while continuing to facilitate Scrum events for assigned teams. The role connects work across teams and initiatives, creates an integrated view of program outcomes and commitments, and drives timely decisions when priorities, dependencies, capacity, or risks span organizational boundaries.

Requirements

• Strong understanding of Scrum, agile delivery practices, iterative planning, and scaled cross-team coordination.
• Hands-on experience facilitating Scrum events and supporting backlog readiness, sprint planning, team capacity, and continuous improvement.
• Advanced program and project management skills, including integrated planning, scope management, milestone management, dependency coordination, risk management, capacity planning, and stakeholder communication.
• Ability to operate effectively across agile and traditional delivery models and tailor the approach to program needs.
• Ability to synthesize complex information, identify systemic risks, and present decision-ready options to senior leaders.
• Experience defining and using delivery KPIs, program health indicators, and trend data to improve predictability and execution.
• Strong leadership, facilitation, negotiation, and communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Excellent organizational discipline, attention to detail, and follow-through across multiple concurrent priorities.
• Comfortable working in Jira, Confluence, and standard program reporting tools.
• Proven experience as an Agile Program Manager, Senior Agile Project Manager, Scrum Master, Release Train Engineer, Technical Program Manager, or similar role.
• Experience facilitating Scrum events for engineering, platform, data, product, or technology teams.
• Experience leading complex programs across multiple teams and workstreams while maintaining effective team-level agile practices.
• Experience managing cross-team dependencies, risks, capacity constraints, and delivery trade-offs.
• Experience coordinating internal initiatives that require structured planning, milestone tracking, governance, and deadline management.
• Demonstrated ability to influence without direct authority and drive accountability across senior technical and business stakeholders.
• Experience using metrics to improve program predictability, process efficiency, planning quality, and execution accountability.
• Experience communicating program health, critical decisions, and business implications to leadership.

Responsibilities
