Two new Project Management opportunities now open!

We have two new opportunities available in our Project Management team. One is for an Agile Coach and the other is for a Project Manager.

Our Agile Coach works with multiple software development teams by helping them continuously learn, improve, adapt and internalize Agile principles. The Agile Coach must be adaptable and must know when to be a consultant, trainer, mentor, mediator, facilitator or motivator. Rather than making choices for the software teams, the coach provides guidance about the choices available, perhaps making recommendations, and encourages them to consider the options and choose their actions. The focus of the Agile coaching role is to facilitate the continuous growth of technical teams in collaboration, engineering practices, process frameworks such as Scrum, XP and Kanban, philosophies such as Lean, with the aim of creating a wider culture of continuous improvement. The coach should also be able to guide Agile practices to non-technical teams in the organization including senior leadership. For this position we are looking for a certified ScrumMaster with a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree. Management experience in the information technology arena preferred.

For the Project Manager role we are looking for someone experienced in managing all aspects of assigned projects through the software development lifecycle, following the project methodology, assuring thorough completion, and effective communication, to maximize value created and minimize costs. Our Project Managers work with our Agile Coaches to ensure software delivery teams are following agile/scrum processes as defined within our environment, and to assist the teams in any way possible to ensure a quality software product. Bachelors Degree or equivalent required (any concentration). At least five years of business experience with at least two years of experience in project management or managerial with implementation of projects. PMP, Certified ScrumMaster and/or other Scrum Alliance certification a plus. Direct experience utilizing Agile Scrum methodology required.

If one of these two opportunities sounds like it matches your background and interests we would love to hear from you. Please apply on-line.
