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.

• 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.
