  • Coach teams and stakeholders on Agile and Scrum practices, and promote continuous improvement.


  • Partner with Product Owners to keep a well-groomed, prioritized backlog aligned to business goals.


  • Remove impediments and manage cross-team dependencies, especially across PSS, GDS, and check-in integrations.


  • Track and report delivery metrics (velocity, burn-down, cycle time, predictability) to leadership.


  • Engage with technical discussions on architecture, APIs, and integrations to support sound delivery decisions.


  • Coordinate release planning, risk management, and production readiness with engineering, QA, and DevOps.


  • Support scaled agile ceremonies (PI Planning, Scrum of Scrums) where applicable.

  • Strong airline domain experience, including:
  • Booking: shopping, pricing, availability, reservations, payments, ancillaries
  • Post-Booking: changes, cancellations, refunds, re-accommodation, check-in, servicing
  • check-in: frequent flyer programs, accrual, redemption, tier management, partner integrations
  • Working knowledge of airline systems such as Amadeus, Sabre, or similar PSS/GDS platforms.
  • Technical background in software development or engineering, with an understanding of microservices, REST APIs, cloud platforms, and CI/CD.
  • Hands-on experience with Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, or similar tools.
  • Strong facilitation, communication, conflict-resolution, and stakeholder management skills.
