Scrum Master

Kforce has a client that is seeking a Scrum Master in Orlando, FL.

Overview: We are seeking a Scrum Master who can operate beyond traditional team-level facilitation and contribute within a scaled Agile (SAFe) environment. This individual will support delivery teams while also helping align efforts across multiple teams and program-level initiatives, acting as a bridge between Scrum execution and Release Train coordination.

This is not a pure RTE role, but requires someone comfortable working adjacent to RTEs, with strong leadership presence, influence, and the ability to drive outcomes across teams.

Key Responsibilities: Agile Leadership & Delivery:

• Lead Agile ceremonies including daily stand-ups, sprint planning, retrospectives, and demos
• Partner with Product Owners to validate, prioritize, and communicate backlog items
• Guide teams on story writing, splitting, and mapping techniques
• Drive adoption of Agile/Scrum best practices with a focus on delivering business value-not just process adherence
• Remove impediments and help teams achieve consistent, sustainable velocity
• Coach teams to become self-organized, accountable, and high-performing

Scaled Agile/Program Alignment:

• Work closely with Release Train Engineers (RTEs) to align delivery across teams
• Support coordination across multiple teams or workstreams, ensuring dependencies are managed effectively
• Contribute to program-level planning, alignment, and execution efforts
• Provide visibility into risks, blockers, and progress across teams
• Operate with ART-level awareness, understanding how team delivery impacts broader program success

Coaching & Continuous Improvement:

• Serve as the Scrum expert and Agile coach for the team
• Assess and improve Scrum maturity, guiding teams toward higher performance at a sustainable pace

Promote engineering best practices including:

• Test-Driven Development (TDD)
• CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
