About The Position

As a Scrum Master/Project Manager within our Government Solutions Infrastructure/Security workstream PMO team, you will help lead and coordinate a variety of Sprints, potentially involving cross-functional, cross-departmental, cross-company teams that are responsible for all aspects of the project, from initiation to closure.

In addition we are also transitioning from waterfall to Agile.

The successful candidate will have the aptitude to be able to work directly with technical engineers and developers in driving to solutions. The PM is not expected to be the technical expert but is expected to have the proven ability to work with technical SMEs to successfully achieve objectives. This individual must be a self-starter, show initiative, have demonstrated management skills, understand technical concepts and can communicate them in business terms. This individual also must have the ability to convey business urgency and priority on projects to technical engineers/developers. Individual will have the ability to operate in a matrix environment and can adapt in the client environment to achieve desired results. The ideal candidate will be a consummate problem solver who thrives on the challenges involved with driving teams to overcome complex technical issues.
