Our client is a consumer products manufacturer. Its business runs from e-commerce and B2B sales through manufacturing, supply chain and procurement. The Data & Analytics (BI) team is small and serves every part of the business. Its main initiative is building a modern data platform that brings together data from numerous source systems, including several ERPs.
The team needs a hands-on PM/BA to keep work organized and moving. This person will run Agile ceremonies, manage intake and tickets, gather requirements, and handle stakeholder communication.
CANDIDATES WITH MANUFACTURING EXPERIENCE ARE HIGHLY PREFERRED
THIS ROLE IS 100% REMOTE EST
Key Responsibilities
Run the team’s Agile ceremonies (standups, sprint planning, retros) and adjust them as needed.
Own the intake process: monitor incoming requests, triage and track tickets, and help prioritize the backlog with the BI leader.
Work with departments across the business (e-commerce, sales, manufacturing, supply chain, procurement, finance and others) to gather and document requirements.
Do a first assessment of feasibility: check whether the data exists, whether the request is already covered, or whether it needs more discussion before the team commits.
Write and send regular project updates to stakeholders and leadership.
Follow up on dependencies and open items with internal teams and third parties so nothing stalls.
Manage shifting priorities and deadlines. When executive requests take precedence, reset expectations with affected stakeholders tactfully and communicate revised timelines.
Keep the team organized between cycles so the next sprint or phase starts with a clear plan.
Required Qualifications
Experience as a Project Manager, Business Analyst or hybrid PM/BA, ideally supporting data, BI or analytics teams
Strong working knowledge of Agile and a practical, flexible approach to applying it
Excellent written and verbal communication, including status reporting and stakeholder updates
Highly organized self-starter who can work independently with little direction
Comfortable working with many stakeholders across different business functions, with a changing mix of priorities
Enough technical or data background to understand data sources and systems and ask the right questions when gathering requirements
