About this role

The Opportunity: 

We are seeking a Scrum Master to support Agile delivery for healthcare software products that directly impact clinical, operational, and financial outcomes. This role sits at the intersection of technology, process, and people—helping teams deliver reliable, secure, and high-quality solutions in a highly regulated environment.

As a Scrum Master, you will work closely with product owners, development teams, and key stakeholders to guide and mentor teams through the Scrum process, removing impediments and ensuring the successful, on-time delivery of high-quality product features. The Scrum Master provides effective collaboration, facilitation, leadership, and coaching skills that directly impact our software development process and the delivery of our applications.

You will champion Agile principles while respecting the realities of healthcare software: patient safety, data privacy, and regulatory requirements. You’ll also leverage data and AI-enabled tools to improve transparency, learning, and predictability—without undermining accountability or professional judgment. 

 

What You Will Do:

You will serve as Scrum Master for 2–3 cross-functional product and platform teams building healthcare applications, services, or internal systems.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Facilitate Scrum ceremonies (Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Reviews, Retrospectives, Backlog Refinement) with a focus on transparency, decision-making, and outcomes
  • Coach teams, Product Owners, and stakeholders on Agile and Lean principles while operating effectively within healthcare constraints (compliance, validation, auditability)
  • Partner closely with Product Owners to ensure backlogs are refined, prioritized, and aligned with clinical, operational, and regulatory needs
  • Proactively identify and remove impediments that affect delivery, quality, or team sustainability—technical, organizational, or process-related
  • Track and communicate delivery metrics such as velocity, predictability, cycle time, throughput, and release readiness
  • Using AI and data effectively and responsibly while respecting data privacy, security standards, and ethical guidelines
  • Promote transparency across engineering, product, clinical, and business stakeholders while keeping teams focused on goal delivery with speed, predictability, and high quality
  • Support cross-team coordination and dependency management through Scrum of Scrums or similar forums
  • Continuously assess Agile maturity and coach teams toward stable, high-quality delivery at a sustainable pace

 

What You Will Bring:

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree and 3-5 years professional experience developing and delivering complex software solutions.

  • 5+ years of Scrum Master experience leading 2+ software development teams concurrently. 

  • Knowledge and experience with Agile principles, values, and practices, including Scrum and Kanban.

  • Knowledge and experience working with agile delivery metrics and tools (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps).

  • Strong facilitation, coaching, and conflict-resolution skills

  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build relationships and trust with diverse teams. 

  • A collaborative mindset with the ability to foster a positive, results-oriented team environment.

  • Ability to manage time effectively and work under pressure while managing multiple priorities.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Scrum certification (e.g., CSM, CSP, PSM, etc.)

  • Experience working with distributed or remote teams

  • Exposure to the development of AI-enabled analytics and productivity solutions
