Agile Scrum Lead

Summary:

We are looking for a servant-leader and delivery facilitator to enable a Salesforce Product POD operating in a Product-Oriented Delivery model. This role partners closely with Product Management, Product Ownership, Engineering, Architecture, Dev Ops, and business stakeholders to help the POD own delivery from intake and discovery through production release and measurable outcomes.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced enterprise environment, strengthens team autonomy and accountability, removes delivery friction, and uses data to improve flow, predictability, quality, and customer value.

• Serve as the delivery lead and servant leader for a cross-functional Salesforce Product POD.
• Create the conditions for Product, Engineering, QA, Architecture, and Dev Ops to operate as one outcome-focused team.
• Protect committed work from unnecessary disruption while enabling intentional reprioritization when product or customer needs change.
• Drive accountability for commitments, delivery dates, risks, dependencies, and completion of work.

• Facilitate the POD’s delivery cadence, including planning, backlog refinement, daily coordination, reviews/demos, retrospectives, and other working sessions needed to move outcomes forward.
• Partner with Product Managers and Product Owners on backlog readiness, prioritization, sequencing, acceptance criteria, demo readiness, and release planning.
• Maintain clear Definition of Ready and Definition of Done expectations and reinforce agreed engineering and delivery standards.
• Adapt Agile practices to the needs of the Product POD rather than relying on program-level ceremonies as the primary operating mechanism.
• Facilitate release readiness and production coordination for POD deliverables, including release bridge support when required.

• Monitor progress against product roadmap commitments, iteration goals, release milestones, and measurable product outcomes.
• Use flow and delivery metrics such as throughput, cycle time, lead time, work in progress, capacity, aging work, predictability, and planned-versus-delivered value to identify improvement opportunities.
• Maintain Jira dashboards and strong backlog, feature, story, dependency, and release hygiene.
• Surface and remove impediments quickly;

• Coordinate dependencies and integration points across Product PODs and shared enterprise teams.
• Partner with Dev Ops and Configuration Management to resolve environment, deployment, and release constraints.

• Work day-to-day with Product Directors, Product Managers, and Product Owners to translate product priorities into executable delivery plans.
• Provide transparent delivery health, risks, tradeoffs, dependencies, capacity insights, and forecast information to support product decisions.
• Facilitate alignment between business outcomes, product priorities, technical delivery, and release readiness.
• Help the POD make data-informed tradeoffs and protect focus when demand exceeds available capacity.

• Foster a culture of shared ownership, collaboration, psychological safety, accountability, and high engagement.
• Coach the POD toward greater self-management and reduce dependency on centralized delivery coordination.
• Use retrospectives, delivery data, stakeholder feedback, and production outcomes to drive continuous improvement.
• Promote learning, experimentation, quality, and customer-focused decision making across the POD.
