As an agile delivery lead you will also act as the agile subject matter expert and be the escalation point for all delivery related matters supporting internal and vendor delivery teams unblocking functional, technical and resource impediments. You will interact with delivery leads of other Electrolux software product organizations to make sure that the joint planning and delivery process work effectively by identifying and removing critical impediments.
