Responsibilities • Own program metrics and reporting for Evergreen — define, maintain, and continuously improve the KPI set, dashboards, and data quality that measure team execution across 10+ agile teams. • Provide timely, actionable visibility to Program Execution Leads and senior stakeholders on team progress, delivery forecasts, risks, and trade-off options; publish regular program health reports and an up-to-date risk & mitigation register. • Translate Jira data into clear insights: build and maintain Epic/Story hygiene, advanced JQL queries, automated dashboards, custom reports, and scorecards (velocity, predictability, lead time/cycle time, throughput, WIP, blocked time, defect/escape rates, etc.). • Drive forecasting and capacity planning using Jira metrics and historical trends; surface feasible delivery options and recommend pragmatic adjustments to scope, staffing, or schedule. • Pair up with the RTE, and collaborate with the Program Managers to coordinate program-level cadence: lead Scrum-of-Scrums, PI/Program planning sessions, dependency reviews, Inspect & Adapt, and other cross-team ceremonies that sustain alignment and delivery momentum. • Proactively identify bottlenecks and impediments across teams; remove or escalate blockers, coordinate cross-team resolution, and track closure to ensure timely delivery. • Partner closely with RTE, Product, Engineering, Architecture, and PMO to align priorities, manage dependencies, and ensure release readiness and deployment coordination. • Implement and enforce ticket hygiene, workflow standards, and governance in Jira to ensure traceability, consistent estimations, and reliable data for decision-making. • Design and operationalize automated reporting and alerts (via Jira, Confluence, BI tools, or integrations) to reduce manual status work and accelerate issue detection. • Coach and mentor Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and delivery leads on agile best practices, data-driven decision making, and using Jira effectively to improve predictability and throughput. • Lead continuous improvement initiatives informed by metrics and team feedback — run experiments, measure impact, and socialize outcomes to raise delivery maturity across the program. • Ensure metrics and reporting are auditable and defensible — validate data sources, resolve discrepancies, and maintain documentation of measurement definitions and thresholds. • Serve as a servant leader and trusted advisor: facilitate tough conversations, surface trade-offs, and present recommended options and consequences to Program Execution Leads and stakeholders to enable timely decisions. • Contribute to tooling and process improvements (automations, Advanced Roadmaps/Jira Align, plugins, integrations) that scale program reporting and reduce overhead. Qualifications • 7+ years delivering software using Agile methods, with 3+ years as a Scrum Master / RTE-like role supporting multi-team programs (10+ teams). • Proven experience coaching and operating at scale (SAFe, LeSS, Scrum@Scale or equivalent) — running PI/Program-level planning, dependency management, Inspect & Adapt, and cross-team facilitation. • Deep, hands-on Atlassian Jira expertise (Admin or power-user): epic/story management, board and workflow design, advanced JQL, automation, custom fields, Advanced Roadmaps / Jira Align, and ticket hygiene best practices. • Demonstrated ability to design and implement program-wide execution metrics and dashboards (velocity, predictability, lead time/cycle time, throughput, WIP, blocked work), using Jira and BI/analytics tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, Confluence). • Data-driven mindset with experience using Jira data to forecast delivery, identify bottlenecks, measure outcomes, and drive continuous improvement. • Strong facilitation, coaching, and servant-leader skills — skilled at removing impediments, escalating appropriately, and influencing without direct authority across engineering, product, and leadership. • Solid understanding of modern software delivery (CI/CD, DevSecOps practices) and enough technical fluency to partner effectively with engineering teams. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills and experience producing concise program status reporting for senior stakeholders. • Relevant certifications preferred: CSM/PSM, SAFe SM/SPC or RTE, and Atlassian Jira Administrator or Jira Project Administrator. • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, Business, or equivalent practical experience.
