About the role

  • Coordinate across multiple Kanban teams to ensure smooth flow of work, unblock dependencies and escalate major risks appropriately.
  • Act as a servant leader and facilitator: run and improve cross‑team ceremonies (e.g., replenishment, standups, flow review, retrospectives, risk reviews), ensuring agendas are outcome‑focused and time‑boxed.
  • Manage and optimize kanban systems and boards: maintain WIP limits, policies, classes of service, queues and explicit process policies across teams.
  • Monitor flow metrics and delivery health: track and report on key metrics (e.g., lead time, cycle time, throughput, flow efficiency, aging work in progress, predictability) and use data to guide improvements and stakeholder communications.
  • Facilitate dependency management and cross‑team planning: visualize end‑to‑end value streams, identify bottlenecks, coordinate handoffs and help sequence work to reduce wait time and rework.
  • Drive continuous improvement: coach teams on flow principles, Kanban practices and problem solving (root cause analysis, experiments), sponsor improvement initiatives and measure outcomes.
  • Risk and issue management: keep visible risk registers, support contingency planning and coordinate incident response for delivery blockers.
  • Reporting and stakeholder engagement: prepare regular status reports, dashboards and briefings; present progress, risks and recommendations to senior stakeholders.
  • Coach and mentor team members on agile and Kanban principles to build internal capability and autonomy.
  • Support tooling and automation for flow management (Kanban boards, analytics tools, CI/CD/DevOps integration) and ensure data quality.
  • Contribute to portfolio-level governance, capacity planning and budgeting as required.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of project/program management experience supporting teams using Kanban.
  • Demonstrable experience coordinating multiple teams concurrently.
  • Strong knowledge of Kanban principles and practices (WIP limits, pull systems, replenishment, classes of service, flow metrics).
  • Practical experience with Agile tools (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps, Trello, Miro).
  • Strong problem-solving and organizational skills; proactive, pragmatic and outcomes‑oriented.
