Senior Agile Leader - Health Insurance Technology

Job Description

Insight Global is seeking a Senior Agile Leader to support a large health insurance client of ours. This role sits within an enterprise PMO team and partners closely with a technology team to deliver Medicare Senior Supplemental and Ancillary products. You’ll lead Agile delivery with high independence and strong judgment to drive outcomes—facilitating PI-level and cross-team execution, managing release readiness and risks, coaching teams on Agile practices and Jira usage, and taking on targeted project/program management and financial stewardship responsibilities to keep critical work moving.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as the day-to-day Senior Scrum Master for 2-3 small Scrum teams, ensuring strong execution across ceremonies, flow, commitments, and delivery outcomes

• Be prepared to program manage complex, cross-functional projects across multiple teams and domains as needed, driving clarity on scope, owners, milestones, dependencies, and decisions

• Assume some parts of an RTE role- examples: Lead Scrum of Scrums and other cross-team forums; actively manage and drive closure on risks, dependencies, and cross-team blockers

• Own risk management end-to-end: identify, escalate with options, and drive mitigation through to resolution

• Remove impediments by coaching teams and partners, negotiating tradeoffs, and unblocking decision paths—not just “tracking issues”

• Own release management activities, including GitHub helper reporting (release sign-off critical path) and release night escalation support

• Facilitate PI retrospectives and continuous improvement (including Agile coffee chat format)

• Champion Jira and Agile tooling (including migration “Day 2” coordination and Jira-integration-friendly PI planning)

• Maintain Medicare delivery/reporting hygiene (e.g., Medicare Reporting database entries based on release notes)

• Produce executive-level status reporting: clear, concise updates for senior leaders on progress, risks, decisions needed, and tradeoffs, with a bias toward early visibility

• Handle defined PM/ops ownership where needed (e.g., ITPR management, timesheet audit/backup approval coverage, SSI Space Owner stewardship)

• Reinforce team culture through simple, consistent morale practices
