Epic Project Manager​/Scrum Master; Agile Coach

Work alongside the other contractor DKKD Staffing placed with this client several months ago.

Our client is first looking for an Agile leader and secondary skills as a healthcare IT professional. Somebody who has actually lived in Agile environments rather than someone who simply managed projects that happened to use Agile.

Client is seeking an experienced Agile Project Manager and Scrum Master with deep expertise in Epic EMR implementations and healthcare operations. This individual will lead complex Epic initiatives while serving as a servant leader, Agile coach, and facilitator for cross-functional teams.

The ideal candidate combines strong project and program management capabilities with hands‑on Scrum Master experience, helping teams improve delivery, remove impediments, increase transparency, and drive continuous improvement. This role partners closely with Epic analysts, operational leaders, clinicians, product owners, and executive stakeholders to successfully deliver strategic healthcare technology initiatives.

“The team is looking for someone with deep expertise, who can truly speak to the nuances, frameworks, coaching, implementation, and day‑to‑day application of Agile methodologies at an advanced level”.
