Job Description

Product Operations Manager facilitating Agile teams for software delivery at Neumo. Coaching Scrum practices and standardizing methods across multiple teams.

Responsibilities:

  • Facilitate all core Scrum events — sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint review, and retrospective — ensuring they are timely, focused, and drive real inspection and adaptation.
  • Create a team environment that is open, non-judgmental, and trustworthy, while emphasizing problem-solving and self-organization.
  • Protect the team from outside interference and unnecessary pressure during a sprint, escalating and resolving impediments quickly.
  • Coach the team and Product Owner on Agile requirements, backlog creation, story slicing, and definition of ready/done to ensure a healthy, well-groomed backlog.
  • Assess the Scrum maturity of the team and organization, and coach the team to higher levels of maturity at a sustainable pace.
  • Facilitate or support program-level ceremonies such as PI Planning, Scrum of Scrums, or cross-team syncs in organizations running scaled frameworks (e.g., SAFe).
  • Coordinate across teams to identify, track, and resolve cross-team dependencies and conflicts before they block delivery.
  • Standardize Scrum practices and reporting across multiple teams to create consistency without stifling team-level autonomy.
  • Mentor and support less experienced Scrum Masters, sharing facilitation techniques, coaching approaches, and organizational context.
  • Track and report team and program-level metrics (velocity, cycle time, predictability, defect rates) to give teams and leadership an honest, current view of progress.
  • Promote transparency by ensuring Scrum artifacts and dashboards are accurate, current, and visible to the whole organization.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact between the Scrum team, Product Management, engineering leadership, and other departments on process and delivery questions.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience
  • 5+ years of experience as a Scrum Master or in an Agile facilitation role, including experience supporting multiple teams simultaneously.
  • Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) or Professional Scrum Master (PSM I/II) required.
  • Advanced certification strongly preferred: Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM), Certified Scrum Professional (CSP-SM), SAFe Scrum Master (SSM), or SAFe Advanced Scrum Master (SASM).
  • Demonstrated experience facilitating Scrum for complex, high-visibility projects or teams.
  • Experience in a scaled Agile environment (e.g., SAFe Agile Release Trains) strongly preferred.
  • Experience using AI-powered productivity tools (e.g., Microsoft Copilot, Claude, Rovo, or similar) to streamline reporting, documentation, and day-to-day facilitation work is a plus.
  • Experience in government technology at the state and local level highly preferred.

Benefits:

  • Competitive benefits and compensation package
