Who you’ll be working with

We ideate, create, and coordinate. We analyze, strategize, organize, and prioritize. We bridge the communication channel between the client and our project team. We chart the course and navigate the product roadmap sprint by sprint. Some of us are product owners. Some of us are scrum masters. Many of us wear multiple hats and do whatever’s needed to deliver successful projects.

What you’ll be doing:

Discovery & Strategy

• Assist with end-to-end delivery of assigned projects, from discovery through execution and post-launch support.
• Translate high-level objectives into structured delivery plans, milestones, and sprint-level execution.
• Support alignment between scope, timeline, and budget, proactively flagging trade-offs.

Build Execution Excellence

• Support the Project Manager with Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, standups, backlog grooming, demos, and retrospectives.
• Partner with Product Managers to ensure well-defined, prioritized backlogs and readiness of stories.
• Support delivery predictability through velocity tracking, capacity planning, and release planning.

Program & Stakeholder Management

• Serve as a point of contact for client stakeholders, providing clear communication on progress, risks, and outcomes.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams including Product, Design, Engineering, QA, and DevOps.
• Align project-level execution with broader team and account goals.

Risk, Governance & Financial Management

• Maintain and actively manage RAID logs (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies).
• Follow established project governance practices, ensuring transparency and accountability.
• Track budgets, forecasts, and resource allocation to support delivery efficiency.

• Experience supporting both discovery and delivery phases of digital engagements.
