We are seeking an experienced Business Analyst / Scrum Master to combine requirements analysis with hands-on Agile team facilitation for an enterprise Pega-based modernization effort within the Department of Veterans Affairs. The role translates business needs into a well-managed backlog while facilitating daily delivery, sprint ceremonies, stakeholder demonstrations, metrics, and impediment removal. The ideal candidate brings strength in both analysis and team enablement; prior VA experience is helpful but not required.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
Facilitate daily stand-ups, sprint planning, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and related Agile working sessions.
Work with Product Owners and stakeholders to elicit, analyze, document, and prioritize business and system needs.
Translate planning, budgeting, execution, acquisition, reporting, workflow, and compliance needs into user stories, acceptance criteria, and sprint-ready backlog items.
Maintain backlog quality, dependencies, task-board status, burndown information, action items, and delivery risks.
Prepare weekly backlog, velocity/burndown, and risk inputs that provide transparent visibility into sprint progress.
Identify impediments and coordinate with technical, business, security, data, testing, and program stakeholders to support timely resolution.
Maintain requirements traceability and help ensure stories remain aligned with approved processes, architecture, controls, and acceptance expectations.
Plan and support sprint demonstrations, capture stakeholder feedback, and translate approved changes into backlog updates and release-planning inputs.
Support functional testing and UAT by clarifying expected behavior, reviewing acceptance criteria, and coordinating business validation.
Promote collaboration, predictable delivery, continuous improvement, and disciplined documentation across the team.
KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS REQUIRED:
5+ years of combined experience in business analysis, Agile delivery, Scrum facilitation, product analysis, or comparable software-delivery roles.
Practical experience facilitating Scrum, Kanban, or hybrid Agile ceremonies for a cross-functional delivery team.
Demonstrated ability to elicit and document requirements, user stories, use cases, acceptance criteria, and process information.
Experience with backlog refinement, prioritization, dependency management, sprint metrics, UAT support, and requirements traceability.
Ability to balance facilitation responsibilities with hands-on analysis and documentation.
Strong communication, facilitation, conflict-resolution, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
Experience with Jira, Confluence, SharePoint, Teams, or comparable Agile and collaboration tools.
Ability to work effectively with Government stakeholders, Product Owners, developers, architects, testers, trainers, and support teams.
KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS DESIRED:
Experience in Federal, financial, acquisition, health, or another regulated environment; Department of Veterans Affairs experience is a plus, not a requirement.
Familiarity with PPBE, enterprise workflow, case management, reporting, or low-code SaaS delivery.
Exposure to Pega or another low-code/workflow platform.
CSM, PSM, SAFe Scrum Master, PMI-ACP, CBAP, PMI-PBA, or comparable certification is preferred, but not required.
EDUCATION:
Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Information Systems, Project Management, Computer Science, or a related discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
CLEARANCE:
Must be able to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance.
