About The Position

CACI is seeking a SAFe Agile Coach and Scrum Master to drive Agile execution excellence across a large-scale federal HCM modernization program.

As an Agile Coach and Scrum Master, you will facilitate Agile Release Train (ART) ceremonies, serve as Scrum Master for cross-functional teams spanning Core HR, Talent and Learning, Benefits, Compensation, HCM Application Security, and Technical/Functional Support, and coach teams on SAFe principles and practices. You may also serve as a Release Train Engineer (RTE), orchestrating PI Planning events, managing cross-team dependencies, tracking velocity and throughput metrics, and driving inspect-and-adapt cycles. With Oracle quarterly updates, parallel agency transitions, and comprehensive functional requirements to deliver, the program demands disciplined Agile execution at every level. This role is for Agile professionals who want to coach and lead at enterprise scale on a program that will define federal IT delivery for years to come. This position is at the T4 (senior) level, suited for an experienced technical professional who operates with significant independence, resolves complex technical challenges using advanced techniques, and provides guidance and mentorship to less experienced team members.
