Your expertise in servant leadership, stakeholder management, and agile coaching will be crucial, especially in large-scale enterprise or regulatory environments. You will act as a Servant Leader and Coach for the Agile Release Train (ART), facilitating Program Increment (PI) Planning, system demos, and Inspect & Adapt sessions. Collaborating with Agile Teams, Product Management, Architecture, and Client Stakeholders, you will drive the delivery of business value. It will also be your responsibility to identify and manage risks, impediments, and dependencies across the ART, while working closely with Scrum Masters and Product Owners to enhance team performance and flow. In addition, you will ensure adherence to governance, quality, and compliance norms as per client and CRISIL standards, supporting Lean Budgeting, Metrics Tracking, and Continuous Improvement.

To be successful in this position, you should have 12+ years of experience in IT delivery, including at least 3 years as an RTE or Agile Program Manager. A strong understanding of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is required, with SAFe RTE certification being preferred. Experience with Scrum, Scrum Ban, and Kanban frameworks, along with prior experience in client-facing delivery roles in BFSI, analytics, or risk management domains, will be beneficial. Your skill set should include excellent facilitation, conflict resolution, and stakeholder management skills, as well as familiarity with Agile lifecycle tools such as ADO, Jira, and Rally. Exposure to DevOps, CI/CD, and secure delivery practices will be advantageous. Additionally, experience with regulatory or audit-driven programs, an understanding of Agile Governance, SDLC policies, and Enterprise Architecture alignment, and hands-on knowledge of program metrics, dashboarding, and reporting to senior leadership would be considered nice-to-have qualifications.,
