Job Title: Project Manager III
Location: Remote
Program: NASA NCAPS
Clearance: Public Trust
Company/ Program Description:
Centuria, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), has been delivering IT, Engineering, and Scientific solutions to the Federal Government since 2002. During our two decades of service we have earned the trust and respect of our government clients for the simple reason that we have great people who are experts in their fields and take pride and ownership in everything they do.
The Washington Post has recognized Centuria Corporation as one of the top workplaces in the DC Metro area for 2024. This award celebrates nationally recognized companies that make the world a better place to work together by prioritizing a people-centered culture and giving employees a voice. The Top Workplaces USA award is based entirely on feedback from an employee engagement survey completed by the employees of participating workplaces. Centuria is honored to have been awarded this distinction.
Job Responsibilities:
- Facilitate agile delivery end to end: sprint planning, daily stand-ups, reviews, retrospectives, and backlog refinement, keeping each ceremony focused and time-boxed.
- Work with project leads to translate strategy, priorities, and team resources into executable sprint and release plans, and keep day-to-day execution aligned to those priorities.
- Remove impediments, coordinate cross-team and external dependencies, and protect the team’s focus so it can deliver consistently.
- Produce clear delivery products and overviews (roadmaps, prioritization and trade-off views, delivery and status reporting) that let leadership make informed trade decisions on prioritization and investment.
- Use delivery data to drive efficiency: track metrics (velocity, throughput, burn-down, cycle time, defect rate, and delivery-performance metrics), find where the team loses time or quality, and act on it to measurably improve how the team performs.
- Establish the delivery and quality standards the team works to, document them, and hold the team accountable to them.
- Adapt agile practice to an AI-accelerated pace: streamline planning and coordination so process keeps up with faster development cycles rather than slowing them down.
- Manage the backlog with product owners and project leads, ensuring upcoming work is refined, estimated, and aligned to stakeholder needs.
- Coach and push the team: raise the team’s agile discipline, hold people to commitments and standards, and foster a collaborative, high-performing delivery environment.
Job Requirements:
- 10+ years of experience in agile delivery, Scrum Master, or agile project/program management roles.
- Active Scrum Master certification (e.g., PSM, CSM, or SAFe Scrum Master).
- Deep, demonstrated command of Scrum and other agile frameworks (Kanban, SAFe, Lean), and of servant-leadership practice.
- Demonstrated experience translating strategy and priorities into executable team plans and keeping delivery aligned to them.
- Demonstrated experience producing delivery metrics, status products, and reporting that support leadership decision-making and prioritization.
- Demonstrated use of delivery data and metrics to measurably improve team efficiency and quality (for example, reducing cycle time or defect rates).
- Demonstrated experience setting delivery or quality standards and holding a team accountable to them, and coaching teams to a higher level of performance.
- Proficiency with agile delivery tooling (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, or similar).
