  • SLA Management: Ensure tickets are acknowledged, updated, and resolved within established client Service Level Agreements. 

Project Coordination: 

  • Agile Support: Assist the Project Manager and Scrum Master in organizing backlog refinement, sprint planning, and daily stand-ups. 

  • Tracking & Reporting: Maintain up-to-date project documentation, track deliverables, and compile weekly or monthly status reports for client leadership. 

  • Process Improvement: Identify trends in incoming service tickets and propose workflow improvements, documentation updates, or training opportunities to reduce recurring issues. 

  • Documentation: Maintain project wikis, runbooks, and knowledge-base articles to ensure both the team and the client have access to accurate information.

Customer Focus: A strong customer-service mindset with a proven track record of de-escalating issues and maintaining positive client relationships. 

Organization: High attention to detail with the ability to juggle multiple competing priorities without dropping the ball. 

Preferred Qualifications  

Certifications in ITIL Foundations or Agile/Scrum (e.g., CSM, CAPM).

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
