Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.

As a Scrum Master your role will be to run agile delivery for the Digital Ecosystem engineering teams. You will facilitate ceremonies, protect team focus, surface blockers, and keep the internal team and the vendor team executing on a consistent rhythm.

Facilitate scrum ceremonies for the internal engineering team: planning, stand-ups, refinement, reviews, and retrospectives.

Coordinate cadence and rituals across the internal team, vendor engineering team, and product.

Maintain and groom the backlog in partnership with product management and engineering leadership.

Track velocity, throughput, and team health metrics; surface trends to engineering leadership.

Remove blockers and escalate dependencies the team cannot resolve on its own.

Coach the team on agile practices, continuous improvement, and effective retrospectives.

Support release coordination and QA readiness checkpoints.

Five or more years as a Scrum Master, Agile Coach, or technical project manager on software product teams.

Certified Scrum Master or equivalent agile certification preferred.

Experience facilitating across internal and vendor or contractor teams.

Strong written communication and meeting facilitation.

Bias toward simple, low-overhead process that supports the team rather than burdens it.

Background in a startup, early-stage, or entrepreneurial environment.

Track record of using AI-enabled tools and practices to accelerate your work.
Enthusiasm to contribute to Stand Together's vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect.
