    Collaborate closely with the Product Owners of the Data Warehouse and the Tech Product Manager to define product priorities, roadmap, and delivery schedules across the three portfolios.

    Work with cross-functional teams to draft and prioritize user stories, epics, and product backlog items, ensuring alignment with strategic objectives and customer needs.

    Work with the Product Operations Manager to develop cross-functional Agile project management systems that align with the organization's goals and objectives.

    Collaborate with the Tech Product Manager to map out and document SCRUM needs and systems, ensuring that they are tailored to the specific requirements of a learning-focused organization.

    Adapt typical Agile SCRUM methodologies to suit the unique needs and challenges of a learning-focused organization, taking into account factors such as iterative content development, educational outcomes, and learner engagement.

    Facilitate sprint planning sessions and backlog grooming sessions to ensure clear understanding of upcoming work items and alignment with sprint goals.

    Monitor sprint progress and remove impediments to ensure timely delivery of high-quality products.
    Foster a culture of continuous improvement by identifying process enhancements and implementing best practices to optimize team performance.

    Serve as a liaison between the Product Owners, Tech Product Manager, and cross-functional teams, facilitating communication and resolving conflicts as needed.

    Mentor team members on Agile principles and SCRUM methodologies, empowering them to become self-organizing and high-performing.
    Provide regular updates to stakeholders on project status, risks, and opportunities, ensuring transparency and alignment across the organization.

    Collaborate with the Product Owners and stakeholders to prioritize and refine the product backlog based on feedback and changing requirements.

    Continuously evaluate and refine Agile processes and practices to improve efficiency, effectiveness, and collaboration within the organization.

    Actively participate in Agile and SCRUM community events and forums to stay informed about industry best practices and emerging trends.

    Requirements

    3+ years of experience in product management or project management roles, with a strong understanding of Agile SCRUM methodologies.

    Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or a related field.
