Technical Project Manager / Scrum Master

Pay: $82.00 - $88.00 per hour

Location: Irvine, CA

Role Scope

• This role focuses on coordinating capability, process, tooling, platform-health, and service-improvement delivery. It does not directly manage or execute day-to-day cyber operational activities or cases.

Why This Role Matters

• You will help create a consistent and transparent delivery system that connects prioritized demand with available capacity, improves accountability for commitments, surfaces risks early, and gives leaders reliable information for decision-making.

Responsibilities

• Build, configure, document, and maintain Jira boards, workflows, filters, dashboards, and portfolio views for the intake, prioritization, planning, execution, and closure of improvement work.
• Facilitate planning and delivery activities, including program increment planning or equivalent periodic planning, sprint planning, backlog refinement, scrum check-ins, reviews, retrospectives, and dependency reviews.
• Partner with technical and business stakeholders to clarify priorities, outcomes, acceptance criteria, estimates, owners, dependencies, and target dates.
• Facilitate product-management practices, including outcome definition, roadmap and backlog development, prioritization, stakeholder alignment, and translating strategic objectives into actionable delivery plans.
• Provide agile coaching to teams and stakeholders to improve delivery practices, role clarity, collaboration, planning discipline, and continuous improvement.
• Maintain backlog quality by identifying stale, incomplete, duplicate, blocked, or incorrectly classified work and coordinating appropriate follow-up.
• Document commitments, decisions, risks, dependencies, blockers, and action items, and track them through resolution.
• Monitor delivery progress and proactively escalate aging, blocked, overdue, or at-risk commitments.
• Develop practical measures and dashboards covering demand, backlog health, delivery capacity, throughput, cycle time, aging, blocked work, predictability, and delivery risk.
• Establish clear metric definitions, calculation logic, data sources, reporting cadences, and data-quality checks.
• Coordinate cross-functional dependencies and commitments, including accountable owners, committed dates, status, blockers, completion criteria, and evidence of completion.
• Track improvement actions arising from lessons learned and operational post-mortems through completion or formal disposition.
• Prepare concise leadership updates that communicate priorities, progress, capacity, risks, dependencies, decisions needed, and recommended tradeoffs.

What You Bring

• Experience leading agile delivery for cybersecurity, infrastructure, platform engineering, technology operations, or similarly complex technical portfolios.
• Strong Jira administration and reporting experience, including workflows, boards, filters, dashboards, permissions, automation, and data-quality practices.
• Experience facilitating agile planning and delivery ceremonies across multiple teams and stakeholder groups.
• Experience facilitating product-management practices and coaching teams and stakeholders in agile ways of working.
• Strong stakeholder management, facilitation, written communication, risk management, and conflict-resolution skills.
• Ability to translate complex technical delivery information into concise leadership reporting and decision support.
• Demonstrated ability to manage dependencies, follow through on commitments, and create transparency across cross-functional work.
• Strong documentation and organizational skills, with attention to data quality and operational continuity.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting cybersecurity or adjacent risk and technology functions.
• Experience working in scaled agile or multi-team delivery environments.
• Experience establishing new portfolio reporting, delivery governance, or work-management practices.
