  • Able to lead and coach teams in applying estimation techniques consistently (e.g., story points, t-shirt sizing, time-based models) to support business planning and prioritization.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage complexity and ambiguity, translate technology conversations into actionable plans, and drive to resolution.
  • Strong communication, presentation, and storytelling skills with a focus on clarity, outcomes, and influence.
