About The Position

We are seeking an experienced Scrum Master to enable high‑performing Agile teams and drive the delivery of high‑quality technology products and solutions. You will serve as a servant-leader and coach, not a traditional manager—guiding multiple Scrum teams, advancing Agile maturity, promoting AI and tool enablement, and fostering data‑driven decision-making. You’ll help teams self-organize, remove impediments, and continuously improve, while protecting them from distractions and ensuring alignment with business priorities. This is a hybrid role based in Marlborough, MA (onsite Tuesday–Thursday, remote Monday & Friday). Some domestic and international travel (up to 10%) may be required, depending on project needs.

Requirements

Hands-on experience with Agile methodologies such as Scrum, Scrumban, Lean, and/or Scaled Agile (SAFe or similar).
Proven experience managing multiple, complex Agile teams in a fast-paced, enterprise environment.
Practical understanding of Agile implementation in real-world, hybrid environments.
Strong proficiency with Agile delivery tools such as Azure DevOps, Jira, or similar platforms.
Ability to guide, coach, and motivate teams, fostering collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills to mediate between teams, stakeholders, and external parties.
Skilled in facilitation, including leading Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Reviews, and Retrospectives.
Flexible and adaptable in the face of changing priorities and project needs, with a positive, solution-oriented mindset.
Comfortable creating and interpreting Agile metrics and reports (burndown charts, velocity, capacity, etc.) to drive data-informed decisions.
Strong analytical and problem‑solving abilities to help resolve issues throughout the project lifecycle.
Demonstrated servant leadership, working to remove obstacles so teams can achieve maximum velocity and quality.
Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Business Administration, or a related field; or equivalent experience.
5+years of experience serving as a Scrum Master, Agile Coach, or Agile Practitioner.
Scrum Master Certification required (e.g., Certified Scrum Master (CSM)).
Strong understanding of software development lifecycle (SDLC) and modern delivery practices.

Additional certifications are a plus, such as:
PMP, Certified Product Owner, Professional Scrum Master (PSM), or similar Agile/PM credentials.
Experience working in a Hybrid Agile environment preferred.
