About The Position

The Scrum Master serves as the Agile delivery leader responsible for facilitating team execution, delivery rhythm, and continuous improvement across workstreams including testing, RPA/ML, DevSecOps, AppSec, and technical governance. This role enables high-performing, self-organizing teams by removing impediments, optimizing Agile ceremonies, and ensuring alignment between government and contractor stakeholders. The Scrum Master drives iteration execution, sprint planning, backlog refinement, and release coordination while maintaining transparency through metrics, reporting, and effective communication. Operating in a high-oversight environment, they ensure delivery teams remain aligned to priorities, dependencies are actively managed, and risks are surfaced early. Day-to-day, this role supports the operational “plumbing” of Agile delivery—coordinating ceremonies, tracking team capacity, supporting onboarding/offboarding logistics (EODs, provisioning, access), and ensuring compliance with program processes. The Scrum Master partners closely with Product Owners, technical leads, and program leadership to deliver value incrementally while continuously improving team performance through metrics, automation, and retrospectives. This role requires a facilitator who can operate across technical teams and senior stakeholders, influence without authority, and drive outcomes in a complex, multi-contractor environment.
