Beyond managing Sprints, you will optimize team velocity, manage cross-functional dependencies in a Scaled Agile environment (SAFe), and foster a culture of continuous integration and rapid feedback loops.

• Risk Mitigation & Technical Steering: Proactively identify systemic risks in the development lifecycle. You will steer the project through critical technical hurdles, ensuring that resource allocation is optimized for high-impact milestones.

• Senior Industry Tenure: 8–10+ years of experience in automotive project management, specifically within R&D or complex software/systems development.

• OEM Management: Proven track record as the central pivot managing high-stakes interfaces with major Automotive OEMs or Tier 1 suppliers.
