* Supporting delivery planning, progress tracking and reporting through tools such as Jira and related agile toolsets
* Helping teams manage risks, dependencies and delivery challenges

*** Desirable
* *** Scrum Master certification (CSM, PSM, SAFe or equivalent)

** Role-specific Experience
*** For the Automation & Process Engineering position, experience supporting automation, workflow improvement, Power Platform technologies or business process improvement initiatives would be beneficial.
