• We are seeking an Agile Project Control Officer (PCO) to support digital delivery teams in an Agile environment.

• Coordinate and support agile ceremonies (stand-ups, sprint planning, reviews, retrospectives), with a focus on tracking actions and outcomes rather than facilitation ownership.
• Perform regular follow-ups with teams and individual contributors to collect status updates, identify risks, and surface delivery dependencies.
• Track sprint progress, capacity, and key delivery metrics; highlight variances and risks to delivery leads and stakeholders.
• Manage and coordinate release cycle schedules, including sprint timelines, release readiness checkpoints, and dependency tracking.
• Support Product Owners and delivery leads by ensuring backlog items are properly reflected, sequenced, and aligned to release plans.
• Prepare concise delivery status updates, dashboards, and reports for internal and stakeholder consumption.
• Reinforce Agile delivery discipline and support continuous improvement through consistent execution and tracking.

Requirements

• 3–6 years of experience in a delivery support, project coordination, or project control role within Agile environments.
• Strong working knowledge of Agile, Scrum, and Kanban delivery models.
• Hands-on experience maintaining Jira boards, workflows, and delivery dashboards (Confluence or similar tools preferred).
• Strong organizational skills with a high attention to detail and follow-through.
• Clear, professional communication skills and comfort working with cross-functional teams.
• Ability to manage multiple workstreams and shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience supporting digital technology teams (e-commerce, marketing platforms, CRM, cloud applications).
• Exposure to platforms such as Shopify, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, or Adobe Experience Manager.
• Previous experience in a PCO, delivery coordinator, or Agile operations role.
