• Translate business needs into well-formed user stories, epics, and acceptance criteria in Azure Dev Ops
• Maintain and groom the EA project backlog in collaboration with engineers and the Director
• Lead sprint planning, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, and retrospectives across active work streams
• Track delivery progress, surface blockers early, and coordinate resolution across internal teams and vendors
• Own stakeholder communication for projects in flight, including status updates, risk escalation, and milestone reporting
• Produce and maintain project documentation including charters, decision logs, and dependency maps
• Coordinate resource allocation across parallel work streams in collaboration with the Director and Engineering Manager
• Manage vendor and partner engagement on project-level activities including timelines, deliverables, and acceptance criteria
• Identify and mitigate delivery risk throughout the project lifecycle
• Ensure all project work is tracked in Azure Dev Ops and visible to stakeholders
• Support change management activities including communications, training coordination, and cutover planning
• Partner with QA to ensure test coverage is planned and executed before production deployment
• Facilitate post-delivery retrospectives and document lessons learned
• Provide the Director with a clear, current view of portfolio status, risk, and capacity

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience managing technical projects in an Agile or hybrid Agile environment, including ownership of sprint ceremonies and backlog management
• Proficiency with Azure Dev Ops for project tracking, backlog management, and sprint planning
• Strong ability to run structured discovery and translate business requirements into actionable engineering work items
• Experience managing stakeholder relationships across business and technical audiences, including executive-level communication
• Comfortable working in a technical environment with enough domain fluency to scope work, challenge estimates, and identify risk without being a developer
• Proven ability to coordinate parallel work streams across a small, high-output team without creating overhead
• Experience with delivery risk identification, escalation, and mitigation
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to produce clear status updates, decision logs, and project documentation
• Familiarity with Microsoft 365 including Teams and SharePoint as collaboration surfaces
• Law firm experience preferred
