Responsibilities

Coordinate assigned IT projects, enhancements, production-readiness activities, and cross-team workstreams from intake through delivery, ensuring owners, next steps, due dates, and dependencies are clear.
Maintain Jira as the source of truth for assigned work, including accurate issue status, ownership, parent/child relationships, sprint assignment, dependencies, priority, target dates, and supporting documentation.
Support sprint planning, commitment review, mid-sprint health checks, and end-of-sprint analysis. Help ensure committed work is progressing early enough for development completion, SQA validation, and movement to UAT or sandbox within the sprint where applicable.
Identify risks, blockers, unclear requirements, resource constraints, and date slippage early. Document impacts, propose practical next steps, and escalate when commitments need leadership visibility or decision-making.
Provide concise, accurate updates to technical teams, business partners, PE leadership, and IT leadership. Ensure project status reflects actual execution reality, not just optimistic target dates.
Prepare agendas, capture decisions, document action items, follow up on open items, and ensure meetings result in clear ownership and measurable progress.
Maintain project documentation, delivery notes, requirements clarifications, implementation considerations, decision logs, and release-related artifacts in the appropriate systems such as Jira, Confluence, SharePoint, and Teams.
Partner with SQA and business stakeholders to confirm acceptance criteria, testing readiness, UAT expectations, defect handling, and release timing. Help reduce handoff gaps between development, SQA, and business validation.
Prepare project, sprint, risk, and execution reports using Jira, Ai Skills, Domo, or other approved tools. Highlight assigned work, completed work, QA/UAT status, blockers, date movement, and items needing decision or confirmation.
Identify process gaps and recommend improvements to Jira workflows, sprint execution, intake practices, project communication, documentation standards, and delivery tracking.
