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.
