Job description

We are currently on the lookout for a Scrum Master to join our team on a contract basis. Our Scrum Masters follow mature Agile methods holding a mix of Project Management and Scrum Master responsibilities.

Projects that you will deliver are enterprise grade web-based solutions that will see you work alongside developers, Business Analysts and external client stakeholders such as Product Owners.

Personality is key and you need to fit the role as well as the team in equal measure. ITG prides itself on its culture and every new individual will need to be hard working, enthusiastic and willing to help.

Ideally, we are looking for Midlands-based individuals who are happy to work on a hybrid model, with 2 days in the office and 3 days remote. However, we are also open to hiring remote workers in the UK, as long as you are prepared to travel to the Midlands from time to time.

Am I the right person for the job?

• You are great at managing and motivating sprint teams in a SCRUM framework for Agile projects.
• You will be managing several projects at the same time across different platforms showcasing an ability to keep organised whilst under pressure.
• We need a clear communicator who can lead conversations with different team members internally at ITG as well as external clients.
• Due to this unique hybrid role, we are open to applications from a digital agency/consultancy background who have Project Manager experience and are looking for a new challenge.

Desired Skills

You’ll ideally have the following skills/qualifications (but they aren't an absolute necessity…):

• Experience using Agile management tools such as JIRA.
• Experience of working within a fast-paced agency environment.
• Experience of writing functional specifications.
• Prince2 or CSM accreditation
• Experience working on Automotive projects
