This role ensures teams  operate  with clear commitments, strong  delivery  hygiene, consistent ways of working, and transparent visibility into scope, risks, dependencies, milestones, and progress.   This is not a traditional Scrum Master role focused only on ceremonies. The role requires delivery management depth, the ability to understand the work being delivered, challenge readiness, enforce process standards, and create structure around active initiatives so Product and Engineering leadership can make  timely  decisions.   The ADM / Program Manager partners closely with Product Managers, Engineering Managers, UX, Architecture, Support, and PMO to ensure teams are aligned, commitments are credible, risks are surfaced early, and execution  remains  predictable.     Responsibilities   Own and  maintain  initiative delivery tracking, including scope, milestones, progress, risks, dependencies, decisions, and overall health.   Create and  maintain  scorecards or structured tracking views for active strategic work that requires milestone visibility, readiness tracking, or leadership oversight.   Orchestrate cross-team delivery, ensuring alignment on sequencing, dependencies, milestones, and execution plans.   Provide delivery visibility and forecasting across PI cycles using data, metrics, Jira, Jira Plans, and  eazyBI .   Support Pre-PI and PI readiness by ensuring teams have clear priorities, groomed work, capacity alignment, dependencies, risks, and realistic commitments.   Challenge unclear scope, weak readiness, missing dependencies, unrealistic commitments, or ambiguous ownership before they create delivery risk.   Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to align priorities, clarify tradeoffs, and ensure delivery commitments make sense.   Manage cross-team dependencies and drive resolution of delivery blockers.   Communicate initiative status, risks, decisions needed, and progress to stakeholders and leadership.   Ensure consistent ways of working across teams, including intake paths, issue classification,  delivery  hygiene, and escalation protocols.   Push back when process is bypassed, including enhancements without proper intake, production defects outside agreed support flows, incorrect issue types, or unclear ownership.   Drive follow-through and closure on action items, risks, decisions, and open workstreams.   Support Inspect & Adapt, retrospectives, sprint reviews, and continuous improvement actions with measurable follow-up.   Promote collaboration, accountability, and alignment across Product, Engineering, UX, Architecture, Support, and PMO.     Qualifications   Bachelor’s degree in business administration, management, technology, or re
