Job description

Opportunity

Hybrid (2 days on-site per week) · Permanent, full-time

About the role

You'll keep one or more defence software Squads moving, running ceremonies, clearing blockers, and turning Agile principles into daily practice, with senior Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches alongside you as you find your footing. This is a permanent role in a Spotify-inspired organisation (Squads, Chapters, Tribes), and the mentoring structure is a deliberate design feature, not a vague promise.

Your Mission

What you'll do

• Facilitate Scrum ceremonies, Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups, Reviews, Retrospectives and Backlog Refinement, so your Squad leaves each session with clarity and a workable plan.
• Identify and remove impediments that slow delivery, escalating where needed and working with stakeholders to keep momentum.
• Partner with Market Product Managers on backlog refinement, sprint readiness and prioritisation so the Squad is always working on the right things.
• Collaborate with Tech Writers to make sure documentation is planned and aligned with sprint goals, not bolted on afterwards.
• Monitor team health and track Agile metrics, using what you learn to support continuous improvement in ways of working.
• Coordinate with other Scrum Masters, Chapters and stakeholders to surface and manage cross-Squad dependencies before they become blockers.

What success looks like

Over time, your Squads run ceremonies that feel purposeful rather than routine: the team arrives prepared, leaves aligned, and the retrospective actually changes something. Impediments get named early and resolved rather than accumulating. You start spotting dependency risks before they surface as problems, and your collaboration with Market Product Managers and Tech Writers becomes a natural part of the Squad rhythm rather than a coordination overhead.
