You will facilitate end-to-end agile ceremonies, translate strategy into sprint plans, remove blockers, and produce delivery dashboards for leadership decisions. Preferred candidates hold a Scrum Master cert and 6+ years in agile delivery.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree or higher in related field.
6 years of experience in agile delivery, Scrum Master, or agile project/program management roles.
Experience facilitating teams that build software, data, and applied AI/ML products.
Experience adapting agile process to fast-moving, AI-driven development.
Active Scrum Master certification (e.g., PSM, CSM, or SAFe Scrum Master).
Must be willing to undergo a background investigation for a position of NASA Public Trust; US Citizenship required.
Deep, demonstrated command of Scrum and other agile frameworks (Kanban, SAFe, Lean) and servant-leadership practices.
Demonstrated experience translating strategy and priorities into executable team plans and keeping delivery aligned to them.
Demonstrated experience producing delivery metrics, status products, and reporting that support leadership decision-making and prioritization.
Demonstrated use of delivery data and metrics to measurably improve team efficiency and quality.
Demonstrated experience setting delivery or quality standards and holding a team accountable to them, and coaching teams to a higher level of performance.
Proficiency with agile delivery tooling (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, or similar).

Responsibilities

Facilitate agile delivery end to end: sprint planning, daily stand-ups, reviews, retrospectives, and backlog refinement, keeping each ceremony focused and time-boxed.
Work with project leads to translate strategy, priorities, and team resources into executable sprint and release plans, and keep day-to-day execution aligned to those priorities.
Remove impediments, coordinate cross-team and external dependencies, and protect the team's focus so it can deliver consistently.
Produce clear delivery products and overviews (roadmaps, prioritization and trade-off views, delivery and status reporting) that let leadership make informed trade decisions on prioritization and investment.
Use delivery data to drive efficiency: track metrics (velocity, throughput, burn-down, cycle time, defect rate, and delivery-performance metrics), find where the team loses time or quality, and act on it to measurably improve how the team performs.
Establish the delivery and quality standards the team works to, document them, and hold the team accountable to them.
Adapt agile practice to an AI-accelerated pace: streamline planning and coordination so process keeps up with faster development cycles rather than slowing them down.
Manage the backlog with product owners and project leads, ensuring upcoming work is refined, estimated, and aligned to stakeholder needs.
Coach and push the team: raise the team's agile discipline, hold people to commitments and standards, and foster a collaborative, high-performing delivery environment.
