This is a remote role within the US but EST work hours are required.

Reports To

• PPMO Delivery Lead

Key Responsibilities

• Intake & Triage Operations:
  • Own the intake queue: receive, log, and route all new work requests through the single intake channel (Coda/JIRA).
  • Work with team leads to ensure PPMO tools and processes are being utilized.
• Reporting & Communication:
  • Build and maintain dashboard views in Coda/JIRA for leadership consumption.
  • Compile capacity utilization snapshots and impact summaries from team-reported data.
• Automation & Tooling:
  • Build and maintain automation workflows to reduce manual PPMO overhead through tooling.
  • Leverage AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT) for drafting summaries, meeting minutes, requirements, report templates, etc.
• Scrum Master & Agile Facilitation:
  • Facilitate sprint ceremonies for PPMO-aligned delivery teams: sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives.
  • Manage and maintain Jira boards: configure sprints, maintain backlogs, track velocity, and enforce Definition of Done standards.
  • Produce sprint metrics and burn-down/burn-up reporting for leadership; surface delivery risk early and recommend corrective actions.

Qualifications

• Experience in an IT or technology organization.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office.
• Proficiency with Jira for backlog management, sprint tracking, and agile workflow administration (required).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with automation tools (Zapier, Power Automate, UiPath).
• Exposure to AI-assisted productivity tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini).
• Scaled Agile certification strongly preferred: SAFe Scrum Master (SSM), or SAFe Agilist (SA); CSM or PSM accepted in lieu.
• Experience with Coda as a documentation and workflow platform (preferred); ability to build Coda docs, automations, and dashboards is a strong differentiator.
• PMI-CAPM, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, or equivalent certification (valued but not required).

Key Competencies

• Comfortable with ambiguity — the governance framework is new; this role helps shape it through practice.
• Proactive communication — doesn't wait for problems to surface; flags them early.
• Tool-savvy — learns new platforms quickly and automates repetitive work by instinct.
• Low ego, high reliability — this role succeeds by making everyone else's work easier, not by owning outcomes directly.
