Represent the delivery team in cross-functional planning (dependencies, sequencing, risks, environment/release readiness) and communicate status, decisions, and tradeoffs.
Support ROM estimates by coordinating inputs from engineering/architecture, documenting assumptions, constraints, risks, and dependencies.
Partner with engineering, architecture, security, and operations to ensure solutions are feasible, supportable, and aligned with SDLC/DevSecOps expectations.
Support release and deployment activities (readiness coordination, cutover planning, validation steps, communications) and provide post-release follow-up/defect triage support.
Assist during critical incidents by coordinating information flow, tracking actions, documenting impact/timeline, and ensuring corrective actions are prioritized and completed.
Apply a big-picture mindset to continuously identify opportunities to simplify processes, reduce delivery risk, and improve quality, performance, and operational readiness.

REQUIRED SKILLS:

8+ years of experience as a Business Systems Analyst, Technical Product Owner/Analyst, Scrum Master, or similar hybrid role supporting technology delivery.

Proven Scrum Master capability: facilitation, conflict resolution, coaching, dependency management, and continuous improvement in team execution.
Strong systems-thinking and end-to-end mindset: able to assess upstream/downstream impacts, data flows, integrations, and operational support considerations.
