• Proven experience in building and managing reporting frameworks using BI tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or similar platforms.
• Strong understanding of Agile metrics and KPIs: velocity, sprint burndown, cumulative flow, lead/cycle time, defect leakage, and story point trends.
• Experience managing multiple remote Agile teams in fast-paced SaaS environments.
• Excellent leadership, stakeholder communication, and problem-solving skills.
