Overview

• The ideal candidate is a senior Scrum Master / Agile Project Manager type with deep, practical SAFe experience who can influence leadership, coach teams, and drive measurable improvements in efficiency, predictability, and delivery outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Assess current portfolio, program, and delivery models and identify gaps in organizational maturity
• Guide the transition from project-oriented to product-oriented delivery using SAFe principles
• Design, implement, and maintain SAFe artifacts including portfolio backlogs, epics, roadmaps, PI plans, OKRs, and governance models
• Lead hands-on SAFe implementation efforts across portfolio, program, and team levels
• Coach leaders and teams on Lean-Agile mindset, SAFe practices, and continuous improvement

• Establish and track metrics to improve predictability, throughput, and delivery efficiency
• Influence and communicate effectively with senior leaders and VP-level stakeholders

Required Qualifications

• Strong background as a senior Scrum Master, Agile Project Manager, or similar role
• Proven experience launching, coaching, or supporting Agile Release Trains (ARTs)
• Experience working across enterprise portfolios and high-visibility initiatives
• Deep understanding of portfolio management, value streams, and product-centric delivery models
• Ability to design and own SAFe artifacts-not just facilitate ceremonies
• Comfort operating in complex, large-scale enterprise environments
• Advanced SAFe certifications (SA, SASM, SPC strongly preferred)
• Experience coaching leadership teams and influencing organizational change
• Experience in PMO or EPMO environments
• Track record of driving efficiency, cost savings, and delivery improvements
