Skills Required

• Has owned end-to-end delivery of a consulting or technology project from kick-off through go-live — can walk through decisions, blockers, quality gates, and outcomes.
• Has prior experience of hands-on technical delivery of multiple projects in the capacity of developer and/ or technical lead of analytics and/ or application development projects.
• Has proficiency in multiple tools/ technologies for application development and business/ data analysis
• Has managed 2 or more concurrent projects simultaneously — can describe how prioritization, resource allocation, and conflict resolution were handled.
• Has tracked and managed a project budget: actuals vs. plan, burn rate, forecast to complete — in any tool.
• Can run a full sprint cycle independently — planning, grooming, review, retro — and demonstrate how velocity was tracked and course-corrected.
• Has managed a technical team’s delivery quality — code reviews, architecture alignment checks, or NFR validation — not just scheduled them.
• Familiar with CMMI Level 3 practice requirements — can list mandatory PM process outputs and explain their purpose and compliance criteria.
• Has owned a risk register with 10+ active items across one or more projects and can demonstrate how specific risks were tracked to resolution.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Own project planning across one or more concurrent engagements — scope baseline, WBS, milestones, resource plan, and sprint calendar.
• Run sprint ceremonies independently — planning, backlog grooming, sprint review, and retrospectives — and track velocity against delivery commitments.
• Track progress across all workstreams; identify and resolve slippage before it impacts milestones.
• Manage Project team allocation across engagements; maintain workload balance and delivery coverage.
• Own delivery quality standards across all technical workstreams — architecture alignment, code quality gates, NFR compliance, and performance benchmarks.
• Review and approve technical artifacts (design documents, data models, integration specs) for completeness and quality before development proceeds.
• Ensure QA and testing cycles are thorough and quality-verified before handoff to UAT — not just scheduled, but validated.
• Identify and resolve technical risks and quality gaps proactively, before they surface in UAT or production.
• Own all CMMI Level 3 or higher process compliance across planning, execution, monitoring, and closure phases.
• Maintain mandatory process artifacts: plans, risk logs, status reports, change logs, and meeting minutes.
• Run internal delivery governance — milestone reviews, delivery sign-offs, change control board.
• Participate in process audits; identify and report deviations; drive corrective actions to closure.
• Reinforce process discipline within the delivery team without impeding velocity.
• Own project budget tracking across one or more engagements: actuals vs. plan, burn rate, and forecast to complete.
• Manage resource allocation and cost per project; flag budget risks before they breach thresholds.
• Coordinate with delivery leadership on staffing, onboarding, and off-boarding across concurrent engagements.
• Own the risk and issue register across all assigned engagements — log, track, escalate, and close with urgency.
• Manage cross-project dependencies and resource conflicts.
• Surface blockers proactively; resolve without waiting for milestone slippage to force action.

Other Good-to-Have exposure

• Oil & Gas: upstream, midstream, or downstream.
• Polymers, specialty chemicals, or petrochemicals.
• Energy trading or utilities.
• Materials manufacturing or industrial processing.
• PMP, PRINCE2, PMI-ACP, or SAFe certification.
• Exposure to SAP, Oracle, or enterprise platform delivery programs.
• Experience working in CMMI Level 3 or higher appraised organizations.
• Background in data, systems integration, or digital transformation programs.
• Prior experience as Scrum Master or Agile delivery lead.
