About the Role
We're looking for a
deliveryfocused Agile Project Manager or Scrum Master

Coach teams toward accountability, transparency, and strong collaboration
What We're Looking For
6+ years experience as a

Experience supporting

Strong Agile fundamentals with a
delivery accountability mindset
Clear, proactive communicator who brings solutions - not just problems
Comfortable with ambiguity and change
Experience with
Azure DevOps (ADO)
(Jira experience acceptable with strong delivery depth)
This Role Is a Great Fit If You...
Believe Agile still has
dates, outcomes, and accountability
Enjoy helping teams and leaders stay aligned on what's shipping and when
Like balancing structure and flexibility without being dogmatic
Aren't afraid to step beyond "traditional Scrum Master" boundaries to get things done
