Agile Scrum Master​/Technical Program Manager

LMI is seeking an Agile Scrum Master/Technical Program Manager to lead rapid discovery, intake, experimentation, proof-of-concept delivery, and evidence-based decision flow for Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) modernization initiatives. This role manages a fast-moving mix of technical and non-technical work and is intentionally broader than a software-only Scrum Master position.
This position follows a hybrid work model, with an expectation of approximately 25% onsite presence at LMI’s Tysons headquarters or Washington, DC. This individual should be comfortable leading work when the problem, solution, data, ownership, or value proposition is still being clarified. Rather than forcing early ideas into a rigid delivery process, the lead will define lightweight decision criteria, test assumptions quickly, and make it easy for stakeholders to decide whether an initiative should advance, change direction, pause, or stop.

The position is best suited to a delivery leader who understands how to create speed through focus and evidence. That includes protecting team capacity, limiting work in progress, making constraints visible, and ensuring experiments produce reusable findings and clear next-step recommendations. The lead should create an environment where stopping or redirecting weak ideas is considered a successful outcome when the evidence supports it.

Strong candidates will be comfortable documenting what was learned, preserving useful assets, and preventing teams from carrying unresolved assumptions into later delivery stages. The ideal candidate brings structure to ambiguity, manages work-in-progress and capacity, coordinates decision points, and moves ideas from intake to evidence-based disposition without over-engineering early work. LMI is a new breed of digital solutions provider dedicated to accelerating government impact with innovation and speed.
