  • Identify and help remove team impediments, escalating issues as appropriate.
  • Support the Product Owner by helping ensure the backlog is visible, understood, and ready for sprint planning.
  • Serve as a liaison between the development team and stakeholders to support alignment on priorities and expectations.
  • Promote Agile best practices and continuous improvement within the team.
  • Develop and maintain awareness of ongoing IT development efforts and related business requirements.
  • Support compliance with Navy, DoD, and organizational processes while enabling Agile delivery.

Qualifications
  • Clearance: Active Secret clearance required.
  • Bachelor's degree in a technical or related discipline.
  • Minimum 3 years of experience working in a Scrum Master, Agile facilitator, or similar Agile delivery role.
  • Certified Scrum Master (CSM), Professional Scrum Master (PSM), SAFe Certified Scrum Master, or equivalent Agile certification
  • Active CompTIA Security+ or equivalent DoD 8140-compliant certification, or ability to obtain within six months.
  • Hands-on experience facilitating Scrum ceremonies in a Scrum-based Agile environment.
  • Experience working with cross-functional teams in a collaborative "one-team" environment.
  • Working knowledge of Agile and project management concepts and principles.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Microsoft Teams, for documentation, reporting, and team communication.
  • Demonstrated ability to be reliable, punctual, and well-prepared, including arriving on time or early to meetings and Agile ceremonies.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience supporting enterprise or government software development programs.
  • Familiarity with Navy or DoD IT environments and on-premise systems.
