The Opportunity:
CACI is seeking a Mid-Level Scrum Master to support one or more Agile teams delivering software enhancements and modernization capabilities for the Grant Solutions program. This role facilitates effective Scrum events, coaches team members in Agile practices, removes impediments, promotes transparency, and helps the team continuously improve its delivery of high-quality outcomes. The individual will collaborate with Product Owners, technical leads, Federal stakeholders, vendors, and cross-functional delivery teams while operating with guidance from program and Agile leadership.

Protect the team from unnecessary disruption while promoting productive engagement with stakeholders and dependent teams.
Monitor sprint progress, delivery trends, risks, dependencies, and team health using practical Agile metrics and visual management tools.
Facilitate conversations that resolve conflict, clarify expectations, and strengthen collaboration across business and technical participants.
Coordinate cross-team dependencies and support release planning, demonstrations, testing readiness, and incremental delivery activities.
Help the team maintain agreed working practices, quality expectations, and a clear Definition of Done.
Promote data-informed retrospectives and follow through on measurable improvement actions.
Maintain concise delivery artifacts, including team boards, impediment and risk logs, dependency tracking, action items, and stakeholder updates.
Ensure Agile delivery activities and team artifacts align with applicable federal IT governance requirements, including the HHS Enterprise Performance Life Cycle (EPLC), required reviews, deliverables, approvals, and stage-gate expectations.
Support Agile adoption and consistent delivery practices across a multi-team, multi-vendor federal program.
