Scrum Master with Security Clearance

Summary

We are seeking a Scrum Master with exceptional organizational rigor and cross-team coordination skills to guide multiple Agile workstreams through a complex cloud migration and modernization effort. This role requires someone who thrives in high-velocity, detail-intensive environments — someone who can not only facilitate Agile ceremonies but also enforce structure, timelines, and accountability across parallel delivery tracks.

Key Responsibilities

• Orchestrate Agile ceremonies (standups, sprint planning, demos, retros) across multiple concurrent delivery teams (e.g., application migration, DB modernization, infrastructure setup).
• Maintain razor-sharp control over sprint scopes, dependencies, and deliverables across diverse squads and technology domains.
• Track user stories, test cases, and blockers with surgical precision using Jira or Azure DevOps — no ambiguity tolerated.
• Partner with the Program Manager to surface risks early, escalate delays, and enforce Agile hygiene across teams.
• Maintain and publish burn-down charts, sprint metrics, and completion ratios with transparency and urgency.
• Ensure grooming sessions are meaningful, well-prioritized, and tied directly to migration milestones and technical readiness.
• Adapt Scrum practices to suit the complexity of migration work (e.g., dependencies across .NET, DB2, job schedulers etc.).

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years as a Scrum Master in fast-paced Agile environments involving application migration.
• Demonstrated experience coordinating multiple Agile teams with interdependent delivery streams.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD, DevSecOps, and migration project lifecycles.
• Mastery of Jira, Confluence, or Azure DevOps with the ability to build dashboards, link epics/stories, and enforce traceability.
• Exceptional attention to detail, follow-through, and Agile discipline — with the confidence to push back on vague or incomplete work items.

Preferred Qualifications

• Certified Scrum Master (CSM), SAFe Scrum Master, or equivalent Agile certifications.
• Familiarity with AWS services, test automation flows, and compliance-aligned delivery (e.g., FedRAMP, RMF).
• Background working with government clients or within large-scale federal modernization initiatives.
