The Aerospace Capabilities Portfolio Office (ACPO) runs ongoing software, data, and machine learning development supporting its applications and its broader data community. This work moves quickly: AI-accelerated development shortens delivery cycles and, in turn, increases the planning, coordination, and reporting burden placed on project management. ACPO needs a seasoned, data-forward Scrum Master who can absorb that burden, keep fast-moving teams aligned and unblocked, and turn strategy, priorities, and available team capacity into predictable day-to-day execution.

This person uses delivery data to measure and continuously improve how the team performs, sets and enforces the standards the team works to, and coaches and pushes the team to meet them. This is a hands-on delivery role working directly with project leads and leadership, and its purpose is to make delivery run smoothly enough that leadership can rely on it.

• Establish the delivery and quality standards the team works to, document them, and hold the team accountable to them.
• Adapt agile practice to an AI-accelerated pace: streamline planning and coordination so process keeps up with faster development cycles rather than slowing them down.
• Manage the backlog with product owners and project leads, ensuring upcoming work is refined, estimated, and aligned to stakeholder needs.
• Coach and push the team: raise the team’s agile discipline, hold people to commitments and…
