Coach & Mentor: Foster a Lean-Agile mindset within the team, helping them embrace self-organization and continuous improvement. Track Metrics: Use tools like Jira or Azure DevOps to monitor velocity, burndown charts, and cycle times to provide transparency to leadership.
Required Qualifications Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Health Informatics, or a related field. Experience: 6+ years of experience as a Scrum Master or Agile Project Manager. Healthcare Domain Knowledge: Proven experience working within the healthcare industry (e.g., EHR/EMR systems, clinical workflows, or HealthTech). Certification: Certified Scrum Master ( CSM ) or Professional Scrum Master ( PSM I ). Tools: Proficient in Jira , Confluence, or similar Agile management software.
Preferred Skills Deep understanding of HIPAA compliance and HITRUST requirements. Experience with Scaled Agile Framework ( SAFe ) in a large healthcare organization. Background in software development or data engineering. Strong conflict-resolution skills and the ability to manage diverse personalities (engineers, doctors, and business leads).
