About the role

  • Facilitate core Agile events and lightweight cross team syncs; maintain sprint goal clarity
  • Make Agile “feel useful” via energetic, varied, participatory ceremonies (not rote compliance)
  • Track and drive resolution of impediments (environment, integration, data, approvals) across platforms
  • Coordinate cross team and cross platform dependencies (batch windows vs deployment timing, integration points)
  • Maintain visible radiators: sprint goals, impediment log, experiment tracker, simple metrics (goal attainment %, carryover, blocker aging)
  • Coach Product Owners / BAs and tech leads on prioritization, slicing, and readiness
  • Drive 1–2 small improvement experiments per team per sprint; follow through to closure
  • Foster psychological safety, inclusive participation, and sustainable pace

Requirements

  • 5+ years Scrum Master / Agile facilitation (2+ years with multiple concurrent development teams)
  • Ability to quickly grasp business and technical requirements, understand or learn technical jargon and government acronyms, produce communication for all levels of the organization
  • Proficient with VersionOne / Agility (or comparable tool) for boards, dependencies, impediments, and lightweight rollup reporting
  • Proven ability to keep ceremonies purposeful, timeboxed, and engaging (planning, daily, refinement, review, retro)
  • Demonstrated success by reducing carryover, aging blockers, and decision latency without adding heavy process
  • Ability to coach backlog readiness (thin vertical slices, clear acceptance criteria, limited WIP)
  • Hold teams accountable to sizing activities to ensure project ends dates can be projected
  • Manage over and under talkers in ceremonies
  • Ability to schedule, track, and manage meetings
