• Ensure DevOps enablement (Git/Gerrit, Jenkins, SonarQube, Jira, SharePoint) is in place before project onboarding.
• Working closely with Solution Architects to drive timely creation of HLD/LLD; facilitate design discussions, ensuring Dev and QA teams fully understand scope and requirements.
• Partner with Dev and QA Leads to track coding practices, code reviews, builds, unit tests, automation coverage, and maintain RTM; ensure secure, high-quality, and timely releases.
• Act as the single point of contact for project communications; publish dashboards and reports; manage internal resources; proactively identify and mitigate risks and issues across all stages
• Plan and manage environment-wise deployments, validate readiness, establish rollback procedures, and coordinate seamless handover with documentation and sign-offs.

Qualifications

You-Have

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in information technology, Computer Science, or a related discipline with 12+ years of overall experience, including at least 5 years in technical project, program, or delivery management roles.

Nice-to-Have

• Proficiency with project management and DevOps tools such as JIRA, MS Project, Git/Gerrit, Jenkins, SonarQube, X-Ray, and SharePoint, along with familiarity with Agile, Waterfall, and Hybrid delivery models.
• Professional certifications such as PMP, SAFe, or equivalent are preferred; exposure to Nokia DO, product suites ( Flowone, NoRC, Assurance, UIV) is an advantage
