  We're Mass General Brigham, we're growing in Norfolk, and we need one craft-focused Scrum Master to keep the general side honest. Consider the trade: your 3 years of Emotional Intelligence for $62,000 - $89,000, a freelance schedule, and ownership most shops never offer.

  • Balance independent work with effective freelance team collaboration

  • A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
  • Clear thinking under the kind of pressure Norfolk, VA deadlines bring
  • The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in
  • Familiarity with Emotional Intelligence and related tools or frameworks
  • Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines
  • Experience thriving in an ego-light, deadline-driven setting like Mass General Brigham
  • Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience

  There's a reason general leaders keep calling Mass General Brigham: this quick-to-ship Norfolk, VA team simply refuses to ship anything mediocre. Around Mass General Brigham, the loudest voice never automatically wins the general argument.
