The individual will manage technical execution baselines, monitor capacity utilization, and ensure alignment between product owners and systems engineering. Key requirements include experience in SAFe or large-scale Agile environments, proficiency with Jira for workflow management and tracking, and expertise in developing delivery metrics and forecasting. Candidates must possess a TS/SCI clearance and demonstrate skills in risk management and coordination of development, integration, testing, and sustainment operations.

  • Maintain Agile execution standards, governance processes, and best practices across the program.
  • Manage technical execution baselines and ensure Jira data accurately reflects program status and commitments.
  • Develop and maintain program-level metrics, delivery reporting, forecasting, and health assessments.
  • Monitor team performance, capacity utilization, commitment achievement, and delivery trends.
  • Facilitate Agile leadership forums, Scrum of Scrums, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Escalate significant risks, schedule impacts, and resource constraints to program leadership.

What we're looking for

  • TS/SCI clearance is required.
  • A Bachelor's degree and 5+ years of experience supporting large-scale Agile software, systems engineering, or operational programs are required.
  • 9+ years of experience supporting large-scale Agile software, systems engineering, or operational programs may be substituted for a degree.
  • At least 3 years of experience serving as an RTE within a SAFe or large-scale Agile environment is required.
  • Experience leading PI planning, managing cross-team dependencies, and coordinating delivery across multiple Agile teams is required.
  • Experience developing execution metrics, reporting, forecasting, and program health assessments is required.
  • Experience using Jira for planning, execution, reporting, workflow management, and technical baseline governance is required.
