This position offers the opportunity to support a diverse portfolio of analytics initiatives across Clinical Analytics, Operations & Client Success Analytics, Value-Based Care Analytics, and Analytics Engineering. The Scrum Master will serve as a delivery leader, facilitator, and strategic partner, helping teams balance business priorities, stakeholder expectations, technical dependencies, and available capacity.

 

The Scrum Master is responsible for establishing and maintaining consistent delivery practices across the Analytics & Reporting organization.

• Serve as a central coordination point between Analytics & Reporting teams and stakeholders across Clinical, Operations, Client Success, Finance, Product, Data Engineering, and other business functions.

• Partner with project owners and team members to develop mitigation plans, resolve barriers, and establish clear paths forward.
• Escalate unresolved risks, priority conflicts, delivery concerns, or resource constraints to the appropriate leaders with clear context, business impact, and recommended next steps.
• Track escalated issues through resolution and communicate decisions and outcomes to affected teams and stakeholders.
• Maintain portfolio-level visibility into active projects, analytics requests, committed deliverables, backlog items, delivery dates, ownership, and project health.
• Promote consistent use of Jira to manage epics, stories, tasks, priorities, milestones, statuses, owners, due dates, blockers, and dependencies.
• Partner with analytics leaders and stakeholders to ensure project scope, requirements, success criteria, responsibilities, and delivery expectations are clearly defined.
• Support the Analytics & Reporting intake and prioritization process by helping ensure new requests are appropriately documented, evaluated, prioritized, assigned, and communicated.
• Monitor delivery trends and performance indicators, including work in progress, backlog volume and aging, blocked work, milestone completion, sprint commitments, delivery risks, and capacity constraints.
• Facilitate retrospectives and continuous-improvement activities that result in specific, measurable, and accountable action plans.
• Identify recurring causes of delivery delays, rework, unclear ownership, missed expectations, or communication gaps and recommend practical process improvements.
• Develop and maintain standardized templates, status definitions, meeting structures, governance practices, escalation procedures, and delivery documentation.
• Coach team members and stakeholders on Agile principles, effective backlog management, project transparency, prioritization, and collaborative delivery practices.
