Project Manager (Agile Delivery)

Remote (anywhere) • Part-time (potential to extend to full-time) • Mid–Senior • Contract

 Headcount: 1

Overview

The client seeks a mid–senior Project Manager with strong Agile delivery expertise to oversee and guide multiple product workstreams. The role involves coaching teams in Agile practices, driving iterative delivery, and acting as a bridge between business needs and engineering execution. This is a hands-on, part-time contract with the possibility to scale to full-time based on impact and fit.

All roles are remote, and “remote” here explicitly means anywhere.

Responsibilities

• Lead Agile ceremonies end-to-end: backlog refinement, sprint planning, daily standups, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Partner with product and engineering leads to align goals, define scope, and prioritize work for incremental value delivery.
• Maintain clear, prioritized backlogs; ensure ready, well-defined work enters sprints.
• Track and communicate delivery metrics (velocity, burn-down/burn-up, cycle time) to drive continuous improvement.
• Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and blockers; facilitate resolution and transparent stakeholder updates.
• Engage stakeholders across technical and non-technical groups; manage expectations and facilitate decision-making.
• Coach teams in Agile ways of working (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe) and adapt frameworks to the client’s context.
• Foster high-quality collaboration, psychological safety, and a culture of iterative learning.

Required Experience & Skills

• Strong understanding of Agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe) and the judgement to adapt them pragmatically.
• Proven experience leading cross-functional teams in fast-paced, iterative environments.
• Expertise in backlog grooming, sprint planning, retrospectives, and daily standups.
• Skilled in stakeholder engagement and expectation management across business and engineering.
• Excellent communication and facilitation; able to translate business outcomes into delivery plans.
• Proficiency with Agile tooling (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Trello, Azure DevOps).
• Strong risk management, prioritization, and conflict resolution capabilities.
• Comfortable with metrics-driven delivery (velocity, burn-down charts, cycle time).

Nice to Have

• Experience scaling Agile across multiple squads or programs.
• Exposure to product discovery practices and outcome-based roadmapping.
• Background in digital product development environments.

Engagement Details

• Location: Remote (anywhere).
• Time commitment: Part-time (hours to be agreed), with potential to extend to full-time.
• Contract type: Hourly.
• Start date: To be agreed with the client.
• Duration: Open/unspecified (role will be used across projects).

Success Looks Like

• Predictable sprint delivery with clear, transparent status.
• Measurable improvements in flow metrics (e.g., reduced cycle time, stable velocity).
• Risks and dependencies surfaced early and managed collaboratively.
• Stakeholders consistently informed, with high alignment on priorities and scope.
• Teams demonstrating continuous improvement and stronger autonomy.
