Join the Momentum Program as a Delivery Specialist and help drive the success of our Agile Release Train by supporting the Delivery Specialist and Enablement Lead in coordinating teams, strengthening delivery flow, and sustaining high quality program execution. In this role, you will partner closely with the Lead to facilitate ART ceremonies, maintain alignment across teams, and reinforce SAFe best practices throughout the organization. This is an excellent opportunity for an emerging Agile leader who is passionate about collaboration, servant leadership, and continuous improvement. As the Delivery Specialist, you will sharpen your Agile delivery expertise while contributing to Momentum's transformation journey in a dynamic, supportive, and innovative environment. This position is located in our Lafayette, LA, Lebanon, VA, Knoxville, TN, and Belton, TX office; however, a hybrid working model is acceptable.

The Delivery Specialist supports the Lead in guiding the Momentum Agile Release Train (ART) through its current SDLC delivery model while preparing the organization for a full transition to an AI Native SDLC. This role is ideal for a strong communicator, servant leader, and emerging Agile professional who is ready to operate across two delivery paradigms: today's traditional Agile environment and tomorrow's accelerated, AI supported flow.

Help consolidate and refine ceremony cadences and meeting structures to reduce context switching and support AI Native flow.

Work closely with Delivery & Enablement Lead supporting AI Pods and team level experimentation groups, tracking learnings and surfacing challenges during PI foundation phases.

Support coordination between engineering, quality, architecture, and support teams as AI Native tooling (Copilot, Ask Mom Code, Kuro) as well as other internally developed applications/tooling becomes integrated into daily work.

Reinforce new delivery expectations such as skill/agent development, maintenance of AI generated assets, and validation frameworks for AI supported features.

Act as a trusted support partner, ensuring program continuity when the Lead is focused on strategic transformation work.

Demonstrate servant leadership and coaching capabilities to uplift team maturity in both SDLC models.

Build and maintain professional Agile/SAFe certifications and create a development plan that strengthens future readiness for a full Delivery & Enablement Lead role.

In the short term, the Delivery Specialist supports both SDLC methodologiestraditional Agile and the emerging AI Native model. As Momentum completes its transition, this role evolves into a dedicated AI Native Delivery Specialist, helping drive a high velocity, automated, AI supported Agile Release Train.
