About the Role

As a Technical Project Manager & Scrum Master, you will drive the execution of high-impact technical projects while ensuring Agile best practices enable smooth workflows and collaboration. This role blends structured project management with Agile facilitation, requiring both big-picture thinking, effective communication, and exceptional attention to detail.

You’ll partner with teams across Integrated Strategies, which is comprised of RAD (Research, Analytics, and Data), Tech (architecture and development), and Business Operations, ensuring technical initiatives are well-scoped, prioritized, and executed efficiently to deliver impact. 

Beyond execution, you’ll also improve how work gets done—optimizing Jira workflows for technical teams, Asana for program collaboration, and key project resources like BRDs and execution templates to drive consistency across initiatives. You’ll manage schedules, facilitate discussions, and keep projects moving forward by removing blockers and enforcing clarity at every stage.

As a trusted leader, you’ll shape how projects are delivered, Agile adoption, and cross-team alignment. If you thrive on bringing order to complexity, ensuring execution excellence, and turning strategy into action, this role is for you.
