• Serve as the lead liaison between the product owner, development team, and management to ensure targets are met.
• Ensure all team members have a deep understanding of project objectives and their impact.
• Maintain the product backlog and release plan, facilitating meetings to drive productivity.
• Proactively identify and remove impediments that may obstruct the pursuit of sprint goals.
• Preserve the team's flexibility and ability to respond rapidly to changing mission requirements.
• Manage the process for how information is exchanged, ensuring transparency across all technical and business levels.

• Extensive experience in stakeholder management and acting as a liaison between business and technical teams.
• Deep proficiency in the Scrum framework and Agile principles.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance (specific level to be determined by mission requirements).
