 * Experience working in a SAFe environment

## Description

Hunter Strategy is seeking a Senior Scrum Master to support a new mission with a large federal civilian agency. This is not a single-team Scrum Master position. The development teams on this program belong to other organizations, and your job is to bring them into a shared cadence and a common Definition of Done rather than to run a team of your own. It takes influence instead of authority, and it rewards someone who enjoys that difference.

The program is greenfield, so the cadence you facilitate is one you help establish. You work alongside a team of Agile practitioners and architects, and as new development teams onboard over time, you help each one find its footing inside the framework.

What You Will Do

 * Facilitate sprint ceremonies and delivery cadence across development teams you do not directly manage
 * Coach teams into the program's shared cadence and tailored Definition of Done
 * Help remove impediments and surface cross-team blockers to the Project Manager and Release Train Engineer
 * Partner with the Product Owner on backlog readiness and sprint planning support
 * Support new development teams as they onboard into the established cadence
 * Work with a team of Agile practitioners and architects to mature delivery practices over time
