  • Fosters a culture of psychological safety, collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement. 

  • Encourages collaboration among teams, System and Solution Architects, and Engineering to support technical alignment and sustainable delivery. 

Improvement, Risk & Dependency Management 

  • Identifies, escalates, and helps resolve crossteam dependencies, risks, and systemic impediments impacting value delivery. 

  • Takes ownership of improvement items resulting from Inspect & Adapt and ProblemSolving Workshops. 

  • Helps teams refine and mature value streams to improve predictability, throughput, and business outcomes. 

 

Tools, Enablement & Operational Excellence 

  • Enables effective adoption and use of ART tooling (e.g., Jira Align, Azure DevOps) to improve visibility, alignment, and decisionmaking. 

  • Partners with the Agility Enablement Hub to continuously improve ART execution and LeanAgile maturity. 

  • Supports Communities of Practice and promotes BuiltIn Quality and modern engineering practices. 

DecisionMaking & Autonomy 

  • Makes decisions on moderately complex issues using independent judgment within established policies and practices. 

  • Manages priorities and timelines for own body of work while adapting to evolving ART and organizational needs. 

Required Qualifications
