Experience Level:

Senior / Hybrid Leader

Are you a "Scrum Master" or a Product Protector?

In most companies, a Scrum Master just "protects the team." At our company, the

Squad Leader protects the product.

We aren't looking for someone to just host ceremonies; we need a driver who owns the delivery pipeline from start to finish.

As a Squad Leader, you are a hybrid powerhouse: the strategic oversight of a

Product Owner , the technical rigor of a

QA Lead , and the efficiency of an

Agile Coach

all in one. You are the final filter. If a feature is delayed or a bug is leaked, you are the one with the data and the plan to fix it.

What You Will Do

Own the Pipeline:

Manage throughput, quality, and the "Definition of Done." You have the authority to halt or pivot work to ensure project health.

Shadow Product Owner:

Refine stories and prioritize backlogs to ensure we build what the client actually needs.

Technical Gatekeeper:

Audit output using your QA or Engineering background. Nothing passes you unless it meets the "Gold Standard."

Productivity Architect:

Analyze

DORA metrics

(cycle times, lead times) to identify and crush friction.

GenAI Champion:

Lead the squad into an AI-augmented future, using LLMs for automated testing, code reviews, and documentation.

Stakeholder Mastery:

Be the face of the squad, speaking with technical authority to Tech Leads and business value to Project Managers.

The Squad Leader DNA

Technical Foundation:

Degree in CS/Engineering or a strong background in

Quality Assurance (QA) . You understand the "how" and the "why."

The Manila Edge:

Exceptional English skills and the ability to lead global stakeholders across time zones.

Agile Pragmatism:

You know the Scrum Guide but are willing to break the rules to deliver results.

AI Native:

You actively use GenAI tools (Copilot, ChatGPT) and can teach the squad how to integrate them.

Data-Driven:

You turn raw Jira/ADO analytics into a compelling narrative for the client.

Why This Role is Different This isn't just another management layer. You have the

autonomy

to make real decisions, the

technical depth

to challenge the status quo, and the

accountability

that comes with being a true leader.
