Job Description
Role Overview
We are seeking a highly analytical, systems-thinking Technical Program Manager (TPM)/Scrum Leader (SL) to architect and drive the execution of our Enterprise Transformation operating model. In this highly specialized role, you will develop, manage, and maintain the solution backlog and roadmap across four critical pillars: AI & Analytics, Product Management, Agile Ways of Working, and Modern Governance.
A primary focus of this position is technical and data-driven: you will partner with our Enterprise Lean Portfolio Management (ELPM) team to integrate Azure DevOps (ADO), Jira, and Bloomfilter.ai with our Aristocrat Solution Delivery (ASD) framework and Agile Ways of Working (WoW) that is currently being rolled out and implemented across the organization within Product Management, IT Delivery, and the Portfolio Management Organization (PMO). The goal is to move these organizations away from qualitative static reporting to a fully automated, quantitative, data-driven decision-making engine. Additionally, you will serve as the hands-on Scrum Leader, facilitating sprint execution for the core team delivering these transformation capabilities.
Working in our highly mature Agile PMO requires an elite level of operational discipline and structural precision. This is an environment with exceptionally high expectations, where our staff must seamlessly blend Agile delivery with strict adherence to defined organizational processes, governance frameworks, and data structures. Success in this role means viewing standardized reporting and rigorous governance not as bureaucratic friction, but as the critical foundation for enterprise transparency, predictable value delivery, and transformational solution success!
