Job description

Contract Scrum Master – Medical Devices - Glasgow Area (Hybrid) - Up to £75ph Inside IR35 - 12 Months

Are you a Scrum Master who adapts to the team in front of you, rather than reaching for the textbook?

Our client is a global medical device business whose software directly impacts patient outcomes. Their Scotland-based development team has recently gone through significant growth — roughly doubling in size, within a wider delivery ecosystem that has grown even further — and they need a dedicated, full-time Scrum Master to help this bigger team gel, structure itself, and deliver.

What makes this role different

The hiring managers were clear: they don't want someone who arrives and announces "you're doing it wrong." They want someone who says "show me what you do, and let me work out how I can help." You'll be a supporting player who lifts the whole team - not a project leader, and not a technical lead. Project leadership is already in place. This is about process, flow, and helping the team create value.

What you'll be doing

• Facilitating all Scrum ceremonies across multiple newly formed teams, keeping them productive and timeboxed
• Coaching the team in self-management, cross-functionality, and conflict resolution as they settle into their new structure
• Using Agile metrics (velocity, burn-down) to improve predictability and quality
• Removing impediments, often working with external stakeholders to clear the path
• Ensuring delivery stays compliant within a regulated medical device environment

What they're looking for

• 3+ years as a full-time Scrum Master or Agile Lead in a software engineering environment
• Proven experience stabilising a recently scaled or growing team - this is the situation you're walking into
• A coaching-led, adaptive approach: best practice shaped to the team, not imposed on it
• Regulated industry background (medical devices, ISO 13485, IEC 62304 - or similar compliance driven sectors) is a plus
• Embedded software environment experience is a bonus, not a requirement

The details

• Initial 12 month contract
• Up to £75 per hour, Inside IR35
• Hybrid working, office in the Glasgow area
• Interviews moving quickly. This is the client's top priority hire
