Senior Scrum Master & Agile Coach (Remote)

3Pillar Global, Inc.; Northern (KY); Hybrid; USD 90,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

3Pillar Global, Inc. is seeking a dedicated Scrum Master to lead agile delivery on our Week strategic platform engagement. Remote-first environment with a global team, focusing on self-managing teams and continuous improvement.

You will coach ceremonies, empower product teams, and partner with Product Owner to optimize backlog and flow. Ideal candidate demonstrates deep Scrum expertise, coaching skills, and the ability to influence without authority in a fast-paced, client-driven setting.

Qualifications

• Agile Expertise: Strong command of the Scrum Guide and Agile Manifesto; practitioners must be operating at or close to an agile-coach level (not early-career).
• Pure Scrum Master Role: This is a non-hybrid role; we are looking for dedicated Scrum Masters, not combined roles (e.g., SM/Business Analyst).
• Coaching & Influence: Proven experience in coaching and facilitating without authority; comfortable letting teams find their own pace.
• Metrics Analysis: In-depth knowledge of agile metrics; ability to interpret data to drive improvement and protect team flow.
• Scaling Experience: Fluency in scaling options (e.g., scrum-of-scrums) and the judgement to apply them proportionately as the estate grows.
• Stakeholder Management: Confidence in managing stakeholders under scrutiny and escalating concerns effectively.

Responsibilities

• Coach & Facilitate: Guide the team on Scrum and the Agile Manifesto; facilitate core ceremonies (stand-ups, planning, reviews, retrospectives) in a hands‑off style—asking questions and facilitating rather than directing or doing the work.
• Empower & Enable: Build self-managing teams, creating a safe environment that allows teams to fail and improve, driving toward self-sufficiency within a few months.
• Partner with Product: Work in a co‑empowering relationship with the Product Owner, coaching them on agile boundaries, backlog ordering, and creating value.
• Metrics & Improvement: Own agile metrics to surface insights that drive continuous improvement; use data evidence to push back constructively on unrealistic delivery dates and protect team flow.
• Stakeholder Management: Manage stakeholders under executive scrutiny, operating confidently within defined escalation pathways to ensure concerns are heard at the right level.
• Continuous Improvement: Stay with teams for the long term, driving sustained focus on maturity and supporting other Scrum Masters across the organization.
