·Provide clear reporting on sprint metrics, risks, and delivery status to internal IT leadership and external consulting partners
·Manage cross-team dependencies and timelines within a broader transformation roadmap
Required Qualifications:
·7+ years as a Scrum Master with demonstrated success in complex Agile delivery environments
