Itero Group is seeking an experienced, hands-on Scrum Master II to support a software development team within a large-scale federal healthcare program. The ideal candidate will bring a practical understanding of Agile methodologies, strong facilitation and delivery coordination skills, and the ability to support a technical team operating within established sprint cycles and quarterly release schedules. This role requires someone who understands how to apply Agile principles to drive results rather than simply following processes. The Scrum Master will work closely with developers, business analysts, technical leadership, and the Product Owner to remove impediments, maintain delivery momentum, and promote continuous improvement.
The team operates in three-week sprint cycles with established quarterly releases, supporting enterprise applications and legacy systems within a federal healthcare environment. While deep technical development or mainframe expertise is not required, candidates should be comfortable collaborating with technical teams, understanding development activities at a high level, identifying dependencies, and coordinating delivery timelines.

- Support a cross-functional software development team operating in three-week sprints with quarterly release commitments.
