Descrizione del lavoro

ARGOTEC in Torino, Italy, is seeking an experienced Scrum Master to guide software teams toward a mature Agile culture within an aerospace-inspired environment. You will mentor junior Scrum Masters and ensure effective Scrum ceremonies and collaboration with Product Owners.

You will promote flow with Kanban when useful, manage impediments, align backlogs with objectives, and coordinate with stakeholders who work under traditional processes.

Competenze

• Deep, well-internalized mastery of the Scrum framework and the underlying Agile values and principles not as a checklist to follow, but as a mental model to reason from, adapt, and teach.
• Strong coaching and mentoring skills, with proven ability to support the growth of team members and less experienced Scrum Masters.
• Ability to facilitate difficult conversations and manage complex cross-team impediments constructively.
• Data-driven approach and ability to use process metrics to guide decisions and conversations with management.
• Practical knowledge of flow management (Kanban) and key flow metrics, including applying concepts like WIP limits, lead time/cycle time, and throughput to enhance predictability and collaboration without punitive use of metrics.

Mansioni

• Leading and facilitating all Scrum ceremonies, ensuring their quality and concrete value.
• Helping the teams remove impediments and dependencies that slow them down.
• Helping the teams plan realistically around constraints atypical of standard software Scrum.
• Actively collaborating with Product Owners to maintain a clear, prioritized backlog aligned with mission objectives and technical constraints.
• Managing interfaces with stakeholders and customers who operate according to traditional processes, finding ways to integrate their constraints into the Scrum framework without compromising its effectiveness.
• Mentoring junior Scrum Masters providing guidance, structured feedback, and supporting their growth toward greater autonomy and mastery.
• Fostering communication and collaboration between the Software Unit and other company functions, promoting shared language and rhythm even where Agile culture is not yet widespread.
• Coaching the SW Unit in adopting the best Agile principles: promoting continuous improvement processes, people collaboration and capacity to respond rapidly to change.
• Introducing and reinforcing flow management (Kanban) practices when useful, such as work visualization, WIP limits, explicit policies, and focus on finishing to improve predictability and collaboration.
