Let Buchanan & Edwards help you unleash your potential and reach your goals.

IRM/OPS/MSO/MD and MT employ agile practices to effectively develop and deliver Products that meet the needs of the Department. Following Scrum principles, our Product Teams strive to deliver the most valuable products and capabilities to our customers in the least amount of time. While this is our guiding principle, our teams are also held to federal mandates and regulatory compliance requirements that require careful planning, controls, and analysis. MD seeks a Project Coordinator who will collaboratively work alongside the Product Owner and Scrum Master to effectively perform project management and strategic planning responsibilities that fall outside of Scrum, enabling the Product Team to focus on development and delivery.

The ideal candidate has a strong work ethic, excellent communication, and interpersonal skills, is detail oriented and organized. The individual will have proven experience effectively managing projects and, ideally, has worked within or alongside Agile teams, Product Owners, and Scrum Masters.
