The VP, Engineering Cloud Agile Lead serves as a strategic coordinator for multiple Agile Scrum and Kanban teams, driving the critical Engineering Cloud Migration journey. This role exists to bridge the gap between technical execution and business strategy, ensuring that cross-team initiatives move forward seamlessly. You will collaborate closely with Release Train Engineers, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and business leaders to navigate complex dependencies and deliver value within the Engineering roadmap.
In this position, you will lead end-to-end cloud migration projects, from initial assessment and planning to post-migration support. Your day-to-day involves orchestrating Program Increment (PI) planning, managing hybrid cloud architecture strategies, and ensuring strict adherence to financial sector regulatory requirements. You will act as a catalyst for change, providing technical guidance on cloud platforms and fostering a culture of continuous improvement across Infrastructure, Security, and Application Ownership teams.
