You will work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional stakeholders across the company.

• Communicate to stakeholders and leaders. Anticipate bottlenecks, provide status updates, escalation management, make tradeoffs, and balance the business needs versus technical constraints.

• Gain understanding of new technologies, dealing with data integration and cross-organizational complexities.

• Thrive and succeed in an innovative environment, and not be hindered by ambiguity or conflicting priorities.

• Coach and help team to understand, deliver, and articulate the value propositions while applying agile principles and practices of Scrum.
