  • Responsible for ensuring that roadblocks are removed, questions are answered, and team members have what they need to make progress
  • When estimates inevitably are wrong and timelines inevitably change, responsible for communicating cause, impact, and contingency options as soon as practical so we can all adapt together
Required Skills:
  • 3+ years of project manager experience, in an Agile environment
  • A clear understanding of agile concepts and principles. Experience with Scrum or Kanban preferred
  • Proven track record of delivering projects from the requirements phase to launch
