The ideal candidate is an experienced servant leader who can guide Agile ceremonies, coach delivery teams, and keep work flowing while also partnering with stakeholders to define requirements, clarify priorities, and translate mission needs into actionable backlog items.

Qualifications - Must be a U.S. Citizen and hold an active Top Secret clearance due to federal contract requirements. - Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field. - 6+ years of experience in Agile delivery, Scrum Master leadership, business analysis, or a related role. - 6+ years of experience facilitating stand-ups and other Agile ceremonies. - 6+ years of experience supporting requirements elicitation, user stories, and acceptance criteria development. Requirements - Certified ScrumMaster certification from an accredited institution. - Demonstrated Scrum Master and/or Business Analyst Team Lead experience on multiple project or program engagements. - Experience supporting test planning, user acceptance testing, and defect follow-up. - Familiarity with continuous integration and testing practices and principles. - Strong written and verbal communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences. - Excellent interpersonal skills, including organization, team building, issue resolution, and customer relationship management. - Demonstrated experience supporting multiple Agile software development teams or workstreams. - Experience supporting ServiceNow or another enterprise workflow platform. - Experience with business process analysis, workflow mapping, or operational process improvement. - Experience supporting data migration, role/access control changes, or workflow modernization efforts. - Experience with Agile tools such as ServiceNow, Jira and Confluence, or similar collaboration platforms. - Experience working with service management, incident management, and release coordination. - Exposure to DevSecOps, continuous delivery, or scaled Agile environments such as SAFe. - Experience mentoring junior analysts or Scrum team members.
