Overview

Agile Project Manager / Scrum Master

About the Role: We are looking for an experienced Agile Project Manager / Scrum Master to lead and coach one or more cross‑functional teams in delivering high‑quality products. You will own the health of the Agile process — facilitating ceremonies, removing impediments, and protecting the team's focus — while keeping delivery aligned with business goals, timelines, and stakeholder expectations. This is a hands‑on role for someone who balances servant‑leadership with practical project management.

Key Responsibilities

• Agile Facilitation & Coaching
  • Facilitate all Scrum ceremonies: sprint planning, daily stand‑ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives.
  • Coach the team and the wider organization on Agile and Scrum principles, helping teams mature toward self‑organization and continuous improvement.
  • Foster a collaborative, transparent, and psychologically safe team culture.
• Delivery & Project Management
  • Drive on‑time, on‑scope delivery across sprints and releases, tracking progress against commitments.
  • Maintain and communicate delivery metrics (velocity, burndown/burnup, cycle time, throughput) and use them to forecast and improve.
  • Manage dependencies, risks, and issues across teams; escape and resolve blockers quickly.
  • Coordinate planning across multiple teams or workstreams where needed (e.g., PI planning, scrum‑of‑scrums).
• Stakeholder & Backlog Support
  • Partner with Product Owners to keep the backlog refined, prioritized, and ready for delivery.
  • Provide clear, regular status reporting to stakeholders and leadership.
  • Manage expectations around scope, timeline, and trade‑offs, and communicate changes proactively.
• Continuous Improvement
  • Identify process bottlenecks and lead initiatives to improve team efficiency and product quality.
  • Champion engineering and delivery best practices in collaboration with technical leads.
  • Track and act on retrospective outcomes to drive measurable improvement over time.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 4+ years of overall experience as a Project Manager, Scrum Master, or Agile delivery lead.
• Strong working knowledge of Agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban) and scaling approaches (SAFe, LeSS, or similar).
• Proven ability to manage and deliver software projects with cross‑functional teams.
• Excellent facilitation, communication, conflict‑resolution, and stakeholder‑management skills.
• Hands‑on experience with Agile tooling such as Jira, Azure DevOps, or equivalent.

Preferred Qualifications

• Certified ScrumMaster (CSM / PSM I or II), SAFe Scrum Master (SSM), or PMI‑ACP certification.
• PMP certification or equivalent traditional project‑management experience.
• Background in software development or a closely related technical domain.
• Experience coaching distributed or multi‑team environments.

Core Competencies

• Servant leadership — puts the team first and leads by enabling others.
• Organization — keeps complex, multi‑stream work on track without losing detail.
• Communication — translates clearly between technical teams and business stakeholders.
• Problem‑solving — anticipates risks and removes obstacles before they slow delivery.
• Adaptability — adjusts approach to fit the team's maturity and the project's needs.
