• Monitor sprint commitments, blockers, aging work, scope changes, and delivery risks.
• Escalate unresolved blockers and cross-team dependencies to the appropriate project or technical leader.
• Maintain Jira dashboards and provide concise reporting on velocity, throughput, burndown, blocked work, and milestone progress.
• Keep Jira execution data aligned with the program's higher-level planning and reporting tools.
• Maintain action, decision, risk, and dependency records as assigned.
• Coach team members on practical Scrum and Kanban practices and encourage continuous improvement.
• Support release, demonstration, authorization, and stakeholder-readiness activities.
• Follow applicable government security, access, and information-handling requirements.

Required Qualifications

• 1-3 years of experience as an Agile Coordinator, Scrum Master, Project Coordinator, Business Analyst, or similar delivery support professional.
• Practical experience using Jira to manage backlogs, sprints, workflows, dashboards, and reports.
• Working knowledge of Scrum, Kanban, user stories, acceptance criteria, estimation, and dependency management.
• Strong meeting-facilitation, organization, written communication, and follow-up skills.
• Ability to coordinate several teams without relying on formal authority.
• Ability to identify delivery problems, communicate them clearly, and drive issues toward resolution.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• PSM I, Certified ScrumMaster, or comparable entry-level agile certification.
• Experience supporting software development, systems integration, data, or DevSecOps teams.
• Experience with government or Department of Defense programs.

• Establish a consistent ceremony schedule across all three teams.
• Keep sprint and backlog information accurate and current.
