Position Summary
We are seeking a high-performing Delivery Project Manager – Scrum Master to lead cross-functional agile teams within our Data & Analytics and Commercial Marketing technology organizations.

You will partner closely with Data Engineers, Data Scientists, Marketing Product Managers, and Business Stakeholders to streamline delivery pipelines, eliminate roadblocks, and foster a culture of continuous improvement. The ideal candidate balances a deep understanding of Agile principles with a sharp focus on predictable, high-quality delivery of data products and marketing technology solutions.
Key Responsibilities
Agile Facilitation & Coaching (Scrum Master)

- Coach team members in Agile values and principles, helping cross-functional data and marketing teams self-organize and mature their delivery capabilities.
- Identify, track, and aggressively remove impediments—such as data dependency delays or changing marketing requirements—to keep sprint goals on track.
- Maintain highly accurate metrics (velocity, burndown charts, cumulative flow) to drive team predictability and continuous improvement.

- Own the delivery lifecycle of complex, cross-functional Business Intelligence (BI) platforms, advanced data pipelines, and marketing technology integrations.
- Manage dependencies and release planning across interconnected data infrastructure teams and commercial marketing stakeholder groups.
- Collaborate with Product Owners to ensure the data product backlog is healthy, prioritized, and aligned with strategic commercial and marketing objectives.
- Communicate delivery status, data quality risks, and resource constraints clearly and transparently to senior leadership and stakeholders.
Governance & Data Excellence
- Analyze delivery metrics to identify bottlenecks in the data development lifecycle (DDLC) and implement optimization strategies.
- Ensure alignment with organization-wide data governance, privacy, compliance (including HIPAA/GDPR where applicable), and quality standards without compromising agility.
- Contribute to the broader Agile community of practice within the organization to share best practices for managing data and analytics products.

- Agile Expertise: Deep, practical knowledge of Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and scaled Agile frameworks (SAFe, LeSS). Experience adapting Agile to data-specific workflows (where requirements evolve with data discovery) is highly valued.
- Tooling Proficiency: Advanced proficiency with Agile project management tools, specifically Jira and Confluence.
- Communication: Outstanding verbal and written communication skills, with a proven ability to bridge the gap between technical data engineers, marketing strategists, and business leaders.
