Scrum Master

We are seeking a Scrum Master to support a public sector digital transformation and service delivery initiative. This role will work with cross-functional program review and product delivery teams to drive modern digital practices, service innovation, and organizational modernization.

This position requires someone who can lead and mentor cross-functional teams in agile methodology and facilitate key agile ceremonies to support digital transformation projects across multiple public sector organizations. The Scrum Master will coach teams on effective estimation, sprint commitments, and the elimination of blocking issues, while acting as an intermediary between product owners and delivery teams. The role demands demonstrated AI fluency through daily use of generative AI and agentic tooling for delivery-grade work, including drafting, analysis, structured retrieval, backlog support, meeting synthesis, delivery reporting, and automation. The Scrum Master must demonstrate process automation literacy, including workflow automation, digital forms, structured intake, status reporting, and agentic process orchestration, and translate technical change into accessible communication for business stakeholders, product owners, delivery teams, and staff. Additional responsibilities include maintaining delivery metrics, reporting on progress using project management tools and artifacts such as sprint burndown and velocity charts, and participating in digital service delivery activities such as user research and usability testing.
