Job Overview:
The ideal candidate is detail oriented, possesses strong communication skills, and has a high energy and a proactive style. The Digital Project Manager will be responsible for ensuring that work to be performed in each sprint is properly defined and balanced against the available resources. S/he will be adept at creating detailed, properly sized user stories in collaboration with the technical team. It will be their responsibility to manage the project scrum board in JIRA. S/he will also have responsibility for managing the long term development roadmap.
Successful applicants will have experience in balancing the requirements and expectations of the business against the development team’s capacity. S/he will be used to working closely within a fast moving agile development team and be able to break down large technical requirements into units of deliverable functionality.

• Become the point person that developers (both on and offshore) interact with when they have questions about what is to be developed
• Facilitate the creation of a well-defined project backlog, providing both the development manager and product managers with detailed visibility into what is planned for sprints up to 90 days out and less detailed views up to 180 days out.

• Work with development team to add detail to stories and manage those stories in Jira agile board
