Rize Credit Union is looking for an IT Scrum Master to help our technology teams deliver great work, sprint after sprint. If you love bringing structure to complexity, keeping people aligned, and turning “in-progress” into “done,” we want to meet you.

In this role, you’ll facilitate agile ceremonies, keep our IT projects on track, and act as a trusted voice connecting technical teams with the rest of the credit union. You’ll partner with engineers, project managers, vendors, and business leaders to make sure our technology initiatives move forward smoothly and land with impact.

What You’ll DoAgile Facilitation

• Facilitate sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives

• Lead focused, 15-minute daily stand-ups that surface blockers and drive accountability

• Support refinement and prioritization of user stories and sprint backlogs

• Champion agile best practices and continuous improvement across IT project teams

• Collaborate closely with project managers, engineers, and business stakeholders

Timeline & Vendor Alignment

• Build and maintain Gantt charts aligning project timelines with vendor deliverables and contract milestones

• Track key deadlines and escalate risks tied to vendor dependencies or contracts

• Partner with vendor management to keep deliverables on schedule

Communication & Change Management

• Serve as a central point of communication for IT project updates

• Translate technical outcomes into clear, enterprise-wide messaging

• Act as a “voice of change,” driving adoption of new systems and processes

• Keep leadership informed on project status, risks, and outcomes

What You BringRequired Experience

• Experience supporting technology or IT-related projects

Education & Certification

You’re a Great Fit If You

• Hold the team accountable to its commitments - this is a pre-requisite for application to this role and a primary success factor in this role

• Run organized, transparent, on-track sprints — every time
