The Role

• Run Agile ceremonies including stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives
• Hold engineers accountable for delivery commitments and output quality
• Maintain momentum by identifying blockers early and clearing risks
• Drive prioritisation efforts with engineers and product managers
• Coach engineers on estimation, focus, and delivery habits
• Keep delivery tools (e.g., Linear, Slack) up to date and well used
• Provide regular, structured progress updates to leadership
