Description

At Thomson Reuters, we are changing how work gets done and redefining what excellent technology-based service looks like.

As an Agile Delivery Lead, you will lead the daily delivery of small, high-impact automation initiatives, including AI Agents and other forms of automation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead day-to-day Agile delivery of AI and automation experiments, from initial idea through minimum viable product (MVP), validation, and production, with an emphasis on rapid feedback and maximizing learning.
  • Partner with LSM leaders, automation experts, and engineers to maintain a cardinally ordered backlog that makes clear what is first, second, and third in priority.
  • Make sure upcoming work is delivery-ready by facilitating requirements discovery, clarifying intended outcomes, and helping write well-defined user stories, acceptance criteria, and definitions of done.
  • Facilitate backlog refinement, daily coordination, iteration planning, reviews, and retrospectives.
  • Break large or ambiguous opportunities into the smallest valuable increments, limit work in progress, and help the team finish the highest-priority work before starting more.
  • Quickly identify and clear barriers, resolve ambiguity, and bring the right experts together to keep priority work moving.
  • Use delivery data to identify bottlenecks, improve cycle time and throughput, support decisions, and communicate the value and learning the team produces.

Required Qualifications

  • Demonstrated experience leading the daily Agile delivery of high-output engineering, automation, or technology teams.
  • Deep practical understanding of small-batch delivery, cardinal prioritization, MVP development, iterative delivery, feedback loops, and limiting work in progress.
  • Ability to turn ambiguous ideas and business needs into clear, actionable backlog items.
  • Comfort working with senior engineers, architects, and automation specialists.
  • Skill in facilitating Agile practices that improve delivery.
  • Use of data to improve flow, support decisions, and communicate delivered value.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Certified ScrumMaster (CSM), Professional Scrum Master (PSM), PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP), or equivalent demonstrated Agile delivery experience.
  • Experience delivering AI Agents, generative AI, intelligent automation, or workflow automation.
  • Experience with Lean or Kanban practices.
  • Experience using Azure DevOps (ADO) or a similar backlog and delivery-management platform.
  • Experience delivering technology within enterprise security, governance, and responsible AI expectations.
