Job Description

About the Organization
A nationally recognized research institution where your work directly supports groundbreaking scientific programs. We build the infrastructure behind some of the most impactful research in the country.

About the Role
As a Scrum Master, you will lead multiple Scrum teams and serve as a champion of Agile practices across the organization. You'll facilitate all Scrum ceremonies, remove blockers, coach teams toward self-organization, and help build a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement.

What You'll Do

  • Lead multiple Scrum teams using Agile methodologies in sprint or Kanban environments
  • Facilitate all Scrum ceremonies — daily stand-ups, sprint planning, backlog refinement, demos, and retrospectives
  • Coach teams and the broader organization on Scrum practices, fostering a culture of real value delivery
  • Support Product Owners with backlog management, scope, stakeholder requests, and priority setting
  • Build and maintain reports for velocity, burndown, capacity, and project planning to provide ongoing insights
  • Drive story point estimation, roadmap adjustments, quarterly planning, and cross-functional collaboration
  • Resolve conflicts, remove impediments, and reduce context switching to accelerate team performance
  • Provide support within planning and reporting tools such as Jira
  • Foster a team culture grounded in commitment, focus, openness, respect, and courage

What We're Looking For

Education & Experience
  • Bachelor's or Advanced Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
  • Scrum Master certification (CSM, PSM, or equivalent)
  • 5+ years of experience in a Scrum Master or Product Owner role within a software development environment
  • Hands-on experience with Jira
  • Proven experience coaching teams new to Agile and Scrum
Skills & Abilities
  • Excellent communication, active listening, and servant leadership skills
  • Deep knowledge of Scrum elements and artifacts — user stories, sprints, kanban boards, backlog refinement, velocity, definition of done, and more
  • Strong conflict resolution skills with the ability to think quickly and act calmly under pressure
  • Outstanding organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple teams simultaneously
  • Highly flexible and adaptable in fast-paced, rapidly changing environments
  • Empathetic coach who puts people first and understands team dynamics
  • Ability to lead Agile transformation efforts while honoring team culture, norms, and values
