Job Description

Scrum Master/Project Coordinator

International Consulting Associates, Inc. is a rapidly growing company, located in the D.C./Metro area. We were founded in 2009 to assist government clients with evaluating and achieving their objectives. We have become a trusted advisor helping our clients by offering cutting-edge innovation and solutions to complex projects. Our small company has grown significantly, and we're overjoyed at the opportunity to expand yet again!

We are results-focused and have a proven track record supporting federal agencies and large government services primes in three main areas: Research and Data Analysis, Advanced-Data Science, and Strategic Services. We currently support multiple analytics and research programs across HHS.

At ICA, we believe our success starts with our people. We foster a collaborative "one team" environment where work-life balance isn't just talked about it's prioritized. We're building dynamic, highly skilled teams in a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. If you're passionate about using your technical expertise to make a difference, we want to talk to you.

About the Role

We are seeking a Technical Scrum Master who combines strong Agile facilitation skills with hands-on technical expertise in data science and software development.

Your expertise will contribute to developing a working prototype or minimum viable product (MVP) designed to pilot various prioritized applications for the FDA. Utilizing an Agile development framework, you will help develop this initial prototype before scaling it into a fully productionized tool ready for enterprise-wide deployment.

About You

You are inquisitive by nature, detail oriented, creative, patient, and a results-focused problem solver who enjoys collaboration with your team. You use critical reasoning, are open-minded and enjoy the steps involved when confronted with a complex challenge. You have a high standard of accountability and can influence others by creating effective presentations that communicate complex analytics to non-technical senior management and executives.
