Job Responsibilities
- Maintain the master delivery tracker for the monthly packet cycle — scope committed, current status, blockers, and slippage — and keep it accurate daily.
- Coordinate across the parallel workstreams (Platform, F&B, Mobile POS, Hybrid App, Portal, Omni-Channel, ERP/integrations, ad-hoc projects) to surface cross-team dependencies and risks early.
- Own Jira hygiene: ticket states, sprint boards, assignments, and backlog grooming support in partnership with the engineering leads.
- Schedule and run recurring ceremonies — standups, sprint planning, retrospectives, release checkpoints — and circulate agendas, notes, and action items with clear owners and dates.
- Prepare weekly and packet-cycle status reports for engineering leadership and US-based stakeholders.
- Track action items and commitments to closure, following up proactively rather than waiting to be asked.
- Maintain project documentation — release notes, requirement trackers, meeting records — in Confluence and the shared repositories.
- Support release coordination: readiness checklists, sign-off tracking, and post-release follow-up on open items.
- Escalate risks, blockers, and timeline threats to the Reporting Manager promptly and with context.
- Progressively take on independent ownership of smaller projects and ad-hoc initiatives as capability develops.
