This full-time role provides hands-on Agile delivery leadership across multiple concurrent Scrum teams, helping multidisciplinary teams plan, execute, inspect, and improve work while maintaining clear visibility into commitments, dependencies, risks, and outcomes.\nThe Scrum Master IV will manage multiple Jira boards, facilitate core Scrum ceremonies, support backlog readiness, coordinate cross-team dependencies, remove impediments, and use delivery metrics to improve predictability and flow. The role partners closely with Product Owners, technical leads, designers, analysts, engineers, QA resources, and program leadership while preserving clear ownership of product, technical, and delivery decisions.\nThe successful candidate must operate beyond a single-team Scrum Master model. This individual should be comfortable balancing several teams, facilitating Scrum-of-Scrums and other cross-team coordination, improving Jira and Agile discipline, coaching teams toward greater self-management, and distinguishing team-level impediments from program-level dependencies. Strong facilitation, judgment, and data-informed delivery management are essential.\nLMI is a new breed of digital solutions provider dedicated to accelerating government impact with innovation and speed. Investing in technology and prototypes ahead of need, LMI brings commercial-grade platforms and mission-ready AI to federal agencies at commercial speed.\nLeveraging our mission-ready technology and solutions, proven expertise in federal deployment, and strategic relationships, we enhance outcomes for the government, efficiently and effectively. With a focus on agility and collaboration, LMI serves the defense, space, healthcare, and energy sectors-helping agencies navigate complexity and outpace change. Headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, LMI is committed to delivering impactful results that strengthen missions and drive lasting value.\nResponsibilities\nServe as Scrum Master for multiple concurrent Scrum teams, adapting facilitation and coaching to each team's maturity, work type, composition, and mission priorities.\nPlan and facilitate sprint planning, daily Scrums, backlog refinement, sprint reviews/demos, retrospectives, and other Agile ceremonies; keep sessions focused, decision-oriented, and appropriately time-boxed.\nOwn the day-to-day health of multiple Jira boards, including workflows, issue hygiene, sprint setup, statuses, dependencies, labels/components, dashboards, filters, and reporting views.\nPartner with Product Owners to maintain prioritized, actionable backlogs with clear acceptance criteria, dependencies, sequencing, and readiness for upcoming sprints.\nTrack commitments, sprint progress, blockers, carryover, scope movement, defects, and delivery risks; surface material issues early and facilitate resolution or escalation.\nCoordinate dependencies across Scrum teams and shared resources such as engineering, data, architecture, UX/HCD, QA, security, platform, and other delivery functions.\nFacilitate Scrum-of-Scrums, cross-team planning, dependency reviews, and release-readiness discussions when work spans several teams or shared milestones.\nUse delivery measures such as velocity, throughput, cycle time, lead time, work in progress, burndown/burnup, aging work, and carryover to identify trends and support continuous improvement.\nCoach teams on Scrum values, self-management, estimation, work decomposition, sustainable delivery, definition of ready/done, and effective retrospectives without becoming the team's task manager.\nCoach Product Owners and stakeholders on backlog quality, prioritization, acceptance criteria, sprint goals, scope tradeoffs, and appropriate engagement with delivery teams.\nRemove impediments within the Scrum Master's control and work with program leadership to resolve organizational, resource, approval, environment, access, and cross-team barriers.\nConnect sprint-level execution to broader milestones and release objectives while maintaining transparency about capacity, constraints, dependencies, and forecast confidence.\nPrepare concise, Jira-based delivery views for program leadership that emphasize progress, risks, dependencies, decisions needed, and forecast confidence rather than activity counts alone.\nMentor less-experienced Scrum Masters or Agile practitioners and contribute reusable ceremony guides, Jira standards, metrics definitions, and team-health practices across the program.\nQualifications\nRequired:\nBachelor's degree in business, information technology, engineering, computer science, management, or a related field; equivalent professional experience may be considered.\n7+ years of progressive experience in Agile delivery, Scrum, software/digital delivery, project delivery, or related work, including significant hands-on experience serving as a Scrum Master.\nDemonstrated experience simultaneously supporting multiple Scrum teams or workstreams with competing priorities, cross-team dependencies, shared resources, and different levels of Agile maturity.\nAdvanced hands-on Jira experience, including board configuration, workflows, filters/JQL, dashboards, sprint management, issue hygiene, dependencies, reporting, and troubleshooting.\nDemonstrated ability to facilitate sprint planning, daily Scrums, refinement, reviews/demos, retrospectives, Scrum-of-Scrums, and other Agile coordination forums for technical and multidisciplinary teams.\nStrong understanding of Scrum roles, events, artifacts, commitments, empirical process control, team self-management, iterative delivery, and the appropriate boundaries of the Scrum Master role.\nExperience using delivery metrics to identify trends, diagnose flow or predictability problems, and coach teams toward measurable improvement.\nExperience coordinating cross-team dependencies and impediments involving engineering, data, architecture, UX/HCD, QA, security, platform, product, or other shared disciplines.\nStrong facilitation, conflict-resolution, stakeholder-management, and communication skills, including the ability to improve accountability without relying on positional authority.\nRecommended certification: Certified ScrumMaster (CSM), Professional Scrum Master (PSM I or higher), SAFe Scrum Master (SSM), PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP), or comparable Agile credential.\nAbility to successfully complete and maintain all required federal background investigation, suitability, and Public Trust requirements associated with the position, and comply with applicable VA security, privacy, training, records-management, and data-handling requirements.\nDesired:\n9+ years of Agile or digital-delivery experience, including 5+ years serving as a Scrum Master, Senior Scrum Master, Agile Delivery Lead, or comparable role in complex enterprise environments.\nPrior Department of Veterans Affairs, VHA, other federal, healthcare, or large regulated-enterprise delivery experience.\nExperience supporting three or more concurrent Scrum teams and facilitating cross-team planning or Scrum-of-Scrums at scale.\nAdvanced Jira/JQL, Confluence, Azure DevOps, GitLab, Miro, Microsoft Teams, Power BI, or comparable Agile delivery and reporting tool experience.\nAdvanced certification such as PSM II/III, CSP-SM, SAFe Advanced Scrum Master, PMI-ACP, or comparable Agile coaching/delivery credential.\nExperience coaching teams through maturity improvements, recovering underperforming teams, improving predictability, reducing work in progress, or resolving recurring carryover and dependency issues.\nExperience supporting digital modernization, workflow transformation, data/analytics, automation, AI-enabled products, or other multidisciplinary technology initiatives.\nTarget Salary Range: $102,000 - $174,000\nDisclaimer:\nThe salary range displayed represents the typical salary range for this position and is not a guarantee of compensation. Individual salaries are determined by various factors including, but not limited to location, internal equity, business considerations, client contract requirements, and candidate qualifications, such as education, experience, skills, and security clearances.\nJob Locations\nUS-Remote","description_format":"text","description_chars":8304,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":9,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Digital Government","IT Consulting & Digital Transformation","Management Consulting"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-23T19:46:44Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.898,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":14,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":174000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/lmi-scrum-master","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/lmi-scrum-master.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T18:32:37Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":8653,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":721749},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=721749"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flmi-scrum-master"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Flmi-scrum-master"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Flmi-scrum-master"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/lmi-scrum-master\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flmi-scrum-master"}]}
