Who You'll Work With

Slalom is a purpose-driven consulting firm that helps organizations solve their most complex problems and build for the future, with solutions spanning business advisory services, customer experience, technology, and analytics. We partner with organizations to push the boundaries of what's possible - together. Slalom Federal is different, we bring a fresh perspective and commercial best practices to Federal engagements, ultimately challenging the status quo to impact people's lives for the better. At Slalom Federal, you will have the opportunity to work on high-impact and highly visible engagements and help set the bar for technical performance.

What You'll Do

Slalom's Solution Owners are lead-from-the-front technology and agile delivery experts who are deeply dedicated to a single project. As a Solution Owner, you will lead software delivery teams and be the liaison between Product Ownership, Project Governance, and Development/Implementation Teams.

Depending on the project, you will play a multidisciplinary, unique-to-Slalom role on an iterative software development team that touches on aspects of a Project Manager, Scrum Master, Quality Analyst, Business Analyst, or Functional Analyst. Your primary responsibilities will include working with clients to understand their business requirements, building and maintaining the product backlog, and successfully leading agile projects through their lifecycles.

Responsibilities

• Define and work within an agile project governance framework (e.g. establish team cadence, facilitate Scrum ceremonies, manage dependencies, issues and risks)
• Be the functional and subject matter authority for the solution and act as the liaison between product, technology, business, and governance teams related to the Cloud Transformation solution
• Partner with the Product Owner to define the product roadmap and own the structure and content of the product backlog. Write user stories that effectively communicate stakeholder requirements, are easily consumed by software development teams, and retain focus on the Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
• Manage and mitigate team risks and dependencies through coordination with other related product/project teams and business organizations
• Drive delivery across multiple domains, e.g. define and validate the technical approach, strategy, and deliverables with engineering leads; lead QE in the execution of test plans and verification of sprint feature releases; facilitate UAT and business validation of major releases
• Evangelize Agile methodology and partner with clients to ensure full understanding and execution of Agile roles

What You'll Bring

• Expert-level ability in Agile software development and delivery, including the ability to set up and execute Scrum-based projects; competency in multiple agile methodologies (e.g., Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, XP, and Lean) is a plus
• Experience in all phases of product, software, and testing lifecycles
• Skilled at defining and documenting business and functional requirements for ongoing system enhancement initiatives in iterative software development environments
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to coordinate between different teams, clients, stakeholders, and governance structures
• Proven ability to lead the development of AWS products
• Ability to obtain and maintain a US government security clearance (which requires US Citizenship)
