Job summary

OneView Commerce in the UK is seeking a Scrum Master to support one or two delivery teams, reporting to the Director of Agile Delivery. You sit with the teams as a partner and consultant, focusing on people, communication and how the team can improve together.

You will set a clear improvement plan for the near term, run ceremonies efficiently, and keep an accurate picture of work in flight. You will escalate issues early and ensure strong collaboration with product, QA, DevOps and the

Qualifications

2+ years in agile delivery from any seat: Scrum Master, business analyst, delivery coordinator, tester, or an engineer who ended up owning the team's process because somebody had to.
Has done more than their title required. Can point to an improvement they proposed and ran themselves rather than one handed to them, and say what it produced.
Genuine servant leadership. Judges the job by whether the team succeeded, and can say specifically what they did to make that happen.

Responsibilities

Serve one or two delivery teams: facilitate the ceremonies, keep the board honest, and coach the team toward self-organization and accountability at a pace it can sustain.
Partner with your teams' engineering leads. Bring them the people, communication, and ways-of-working problems they are not looking for, in a form that gets acted on rather than resented.
Own an improvement agenda for your teams and run it. Know what you are changing this sprint, why, and how you will tell whether it worked, and keep the Director of Agile Delivery current on where it stands rather than waiting on them to release it.
Carry the factory-wide improvement agenda into your teams, and report back which parts of it work here, which do not, and what you learned that should change it.
Remove impediments yourself, including the ones that need an awkward conversation rather than a decision.
Keep a current, accurate picture of everything your teams have in flight, and produce it on demand without asking the team to rebuild it for you.
Build a team environment where problems surface early and without fear, and where disagreement gets resolved instead of avoided.
Know how the people on your teams are doing, and act on it: raise what needs raising, with the person who can do something about it, at the point it is still cheap to fix.
Escalate clearly when something or someone is stopping a team from improving, including when the obstacle is a team member or a lead. Do it early, specifically, and without theater.
Facilitate decisions and conflicts without taking either away from the team.
Instrument and stand behind your teams' measures, including throughput, predictability,
and team happiness, and report the trend honestly when it is going the wrong way.
Represent your teams to product, QA, DevOps, and the customer-facing side of the business, so a dependency gets a conversation weeks before it becomes a delay.
Contribute to the Scrum Master practice itself: trial new approaches, keep what works,drop what does not, and tell your peers either way.
