Job Description:

Mainframe systems are at the heart of the digital economy, with 80% of the world’s structured corporate data residing or originating on mainframes, and 55% of all enterprise applications hitting the mainframe to complete transactions. Our industry-leading products are critical to many Fortune 1000 companies.

Facilitate Agile Ceremonies: Facilitate essential Scrum ceremonies such as sprint planning, retrospectives, and daily stand-ups, fostering open communication, collaboration, and transparency. 

Champion Agile Practices: Advocate for and implement Agile best practices across teams and the organization. Contribute to the development of cross-team collaboration.

Skills:

Agile Expertise: Solid understanding of Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban), with the ability to adapt practices to the needs of different teams. 

Collaboration & Facilitation: Excellent collaboration, facilitation, and coaching skills, capable of building trust and alignment within remote, multicultural teams. 

Problem-Solving Mindset: Proactive, solution-oriented thinker with the ability to adapt to changing priorities and overcome challenges effectively. 

Leadership & Mentorship: Strong leadership skills with the ability to mentor and develop high-performing, self-organizing teams. 

Data-Driven Decision Making: Strong capability in using Agile metrics (e.g., flow metrics, velocity, cycle time) to optimize performance and decision-making. 

Communication Skills: Excellent communication, problem-solving, and facilitation skills, with the ability to manage expectations and influence stakeholders. 

Change Management: Solid experience in guiding teams through change and fostering a growth mindset that embraces continuous improvement. 

Qualifications & Requirements:
