New York, NY
Posted Apr 18, 2024 - Requisition No. 124691
The energy of a newsroom, the pace of a trading floor, the buzz of a recent tech breakthrough; we work hard, and we work fast - while keeping up the quality and accuracy we're known for. It's what keeps us inventing and reinventing, all the time. Our culture is wide open, just like our spaces. We bring out the best in each other through collaboration. Through our countless volunteer projects, we also help network with the communities around us, too. You can do amazing work here. Work you couldn't do anywhere else. It's up to you to make it happen.

We are looking for an experienced Project Manager, a master facilitator, an impeccable organizer, a believer in the power of agility. You’re equally adept at leading large multi-workstream initiatives and rolling up your sleeves as a Scrum Master to enable teams to bring value to their businesses. Your system's mindset is always on the lookout for continuous improvement opportunities. Your communication and follow-through skills keep people informed and on track, and your empathy engenders trust. You work well with a team and perform well under pressure. You lead by example and understand the value of developing and maintaining relationships with stakeholders.
We’ll trust you to:
+ Manage multiple concurrent technical and operational projects with broad influence through effective governance, cross-team organization, proactive management of risks, issues, and dependencies, and leadership engagement
+ Act as Scrum Master on one or more teams:
+ Facilitate Scrum Events effectively (Daily Scrum, Refinement, Planning, Review and Retrospective)
+ Empower the team to embrace continuous improvement and process discipline
+ Coach the Product Owner to effectively articulate the team’s vision and roadmap to the team and stakeholders
+ Contribute to the enhancement and delivery of our frameworks in response to the evolving needs of our organization and teams
+ Interact with and influence all levels of the organization
+ Be able to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment requiring accountability, good judgment, flexibility, and a hands-on approach
You’ll need to have:
+ Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent relevant experience
+ 5+ years of project/program management experience
+ 5+ years of Scrum Master experience and proficiency with JIRA
+ Leadership facilitation experience to drive senior-level decision making through transparency and data/visualization
+ Proven ability to influence and lead with and without authority
+ Excellent verbal, written, and visual communication skills
+ Strong organization skills and an eye for detail, balanced by an ability to summarize insights and present to various stakeholders across the organization
+ A passion for Program Management, Scrum/scaling Scrum and the ability to work in both methodologies
+ Intellectual curiosity, creativity, and a genuine interest in driving sustainable, positive change
+ Ability to work independently, solve problems and deal with ambiguity
+ Strong proficiency MS Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word)
We’d love to see:
+ Experience in full lifecycle program management for large-scale ERP implementations (SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft)
+ Experience implementing Agile/Scrum to new and existing cross-functional teams, including scaled Scrum frameworks (e.g. Scrum@Scale, SAFe, Kanban)
+ Understanding of Accounting, Order to Cash, Procure to Pay and Payroll processes
+ Big 4 Consulting experience as well as in-house positions
+ Experience with global implementations
+ Ability to travel if the need arises (less than 10% of the time)
