• Champion Agile Culture: Promote a culture of continuous improvement, transparency, and collaborative problem-solving within a virtual environment.

• Foundational Knowledge: A basic understanding of Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and the software development life cycle (SDLC).

• Soft Skills: Exceptional communication, empathy, and "servant-leadership" qualities. You should be comfortable speaking in front of a group.
