Overview

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced SCRUM Master to join a dynamic software engineering function at the heart of a large-scale transformation. You’ll be supporting high-performing development squads focused on delivering robust, user-centric software solutions.

As a SCRUM Master, you’ll play a key role in guiding agile practices across multiple teams, fostering continuous improvement, and enabling squads to operate autonomously while producing high-quality results. You’ll also take an active role in coaching, mentoring, and line-managing engineers.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Facilitate all SCRUM ceremonies, including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, reviews, retrospectives, and backlog refinement
• Champion agile values and foster a culture of continuous improvement across teams
• Serve as a coach and mentor for squad members, helping to build agile maturity and autonomy
• Remove blockers and shield squads from external interruptions to maximise delivery focus
• Collaborate closely with Product Owners to maintain a well-groomed, actionable backlog
• Coordinate cross-team dependencies and encourage knowledge sharing between SCRUM Masters
• Support recruitment efforts, contribute to training plans, and help define best practices
• Maintain working documents such as the Definition of Ready/Done with a pragmatic focus on team collaboration over rigid process

What You’ll Bring

• Strong knowledge of Agile methodologies, with proven experience as a SCRUM Master
• Formal SCRUM Master training and/or certification
• Excellent facilitation, coaching, and mentoring skills
• Experience using agile delivery tools (Jira, Trello, or equivalent).
• Strong interpersonal and conflict-resolution abilities
• Comfortable working across cross-functional teams, including remote or distributed squads
• Ability to influence without authority and communicate the "why" behind agile practices
