• Support sprint planning, capacity planning, and iteration setup for client delivery teams

• Troubleshoot configuration and pipeline issues; provide hands-on guidance to client engineers and delivery leads

• Background supporting enterprise PMO, program management, or large-scale delivery governance

• Exposure to SAFe or other scaled Agile frameworks

• Microsoft certifications in Azure and/or DevOps (strong plus)

What Success Looks Like

• Azure DevOps organizations and projects are structured in a way that supports clear ownership, reporting, and scalable delivery

• Teams have reliable, secure, and maintainable CI/CD pipelines with consistent standards and documentation

• Portfolio and roadmap visibility improves through effective configuration of Portfolio++ and Azure DevOps Boards
