 ROLE SUMMARY:
We are looking for an experienced Scrum Master (Contract) to support one or more agile delivery teams within a fast-paced product development environment. The Scrum Master will act as a servant leader and coach, ensuring teams effectively apply Agile/Scrum practices, deliver value predictably, and continuously improve.

This role is hands-on and delivery focused, requiring strong facilitation, stakeholder collaboration, and the ability to drive clarity during transitions, planning, and execution.

Agile Delivery & Facilitation: 

  • Facilitate and schedule all core Scrum events including Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Reviews, Demos, and Retrospectives.
  • Ensure ceremonies are purposeful, timeboxed, and outcome driven. Especially during high dependency planning cycles.

  • Support teams working in Scrum and hybrid Scrum/Kanban models, as relevant to team maturity and work type

Team Coaching & Continuous Improvement:  

  • Coach teams on Scrum principles, Agile practices, and self-management.
  • Promote continuous improvement using data (flow metrics, retrospectives, and team feedback).
  • Help teams navigate change, ambiguity, and dependencies with confidence.

Impediment & Risk Management:

  • Identify, track, and actively remove impediments impacting team delivery.
  • Escalate risks and dependencies appropriately, partnering with PO, RTE, and leadership.
  • Protect the team from unnecessary interruptions and scope-creep.

Collaboration & Stakeholder Alignment:

  • Partner closely with Product Owners to support backlog refinement, prioritization, and readiness.
  • Collaborate with RTEs, other Scrum Masters, and cross team stakeholders to manage dependencies.
  •  Provide transparency into progress, risks, and outcomes through dashboards and regular updates.

Process:

  • Maintain Agile boards and dashboards to ensure accurate tracking and visibility.
  • Support teams in adopting agreed processes while continuously improving them.
  • Contribute to broader Agile ways of working, especially during team or organizational transitions.

Tools:

  •  Jira – sprint execution, backlog health, dashboards, flow tracking
  • Miro – PI Planning, cross ART dependency boards, workshops
  • TeamRetro – sprint, PI, and transition retrospectives
  • MS Excel – capacity planning, simple metrics
