  • Strong experience working in Agile environments using Scrum, Kanban, or hybrid methodologies, with a focus on predictable and iterative delivery

  • Hands-on experience with project management and collaboration tools such as Jira, Confluence, or similar platforms

  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and priorities in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment

  • Strong problem-solving skills with a high attention to detail and a bias toward execution
