Apply and coach Scrum practices, while using Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid approaches flexibly based on project needs.
Drive process improvement and automation that improves project execution, visibility, and operational efficiency.
Promote effective use and integration of Microsoft 365, JIRA, Git, Jenkins, and scripting languages for workflow and process automation where appropriate.
Technical Leadership, Coaching & Global Collaboration
Participate confidently in technical project discussions and understand software development terminology, dependencies, testing, defects, and release processes.

Experience in process automation or demonstrated ability to design and implement automation solutions using Microsoft 365, JIRA, Git, Jenkins, and scripting languages.
Exceptional communication, influence, and conflict-resolution skills. Proven ability to work through strong disagreement or initial resistance, persuade stakeholders using facts and practical options, facilitate constructive discussion, and build mutually workable solutions without relying on authority or confrontation.
