You own delivery confidence for a distributed Canada–Vietnam engineering team - the cadence, the quality gates, and the escalation path that keeps two time zones moving without blocking each other. This isn't just ceremony facilitation with a metrics dashboard. You're accountable for whether the sprint lands, and you have the tooling and authority to see it coming before it doesn't.

Department: Agile Delivery, Technology

WHAT YOU OWN

Delivery Metrics & Forecasting

• Track velocity, capacity allocation, and delivery health as leading indicators - you catch a miss before it happens, not after
• Own capacity planning per sprint across workstreams; maintain roadmap visibility for stakeholders
• Coordinate quarterly planning

Requirements & Quality Gates

• Ensure readiness before commitment - whole team on the same page about commitments
• Maintain the tooling that keeps work visible and blockers surfaced early, not silently absorbed

Change & Conflict

• Assess scope/priority change impact before it lands on the team
• Resolve conflict between Product and Engineering - decisions get recorded, not relitigated

Cross-Timezone Ownership

• Own the async cadence across a 12-hour gap
• Enforce response-window SLAs on blockers - nothing ages silently

SIGNAL OF SUCCESS

• Blockers have an owner and an age, always
• Retros produce actions, not venting
• Product and Engineering both feel protected, not policed
• You'd notice a slipping sprint two weeks before anyone else does

WHAT YOU BRING

• Track record as SM or delivery lead, preferably on distributed, cross-timezone teams
• Knowledge of software development cycle, AI-accelerated workflows 
• Fluency in why the process exists, not just how to run it - you'll be asked to defend or evolve it, not just execute it
• Judgment on escalate-vs-absorb - you protect the team without becoming the bottleneck
• You read sprint metrics as signal, not scorecard, and can tell stakeholders which number actually predicts the miss
• CSM, POSM, PMP, SaaS experience, AI workflow design is an advantage

We know imposter syndrome can be REAL when applying for a new role, but please don't let the confidence gap prevent you from taking a leap and applying for your dream job. Your future self will thank you!
