This role involves coaching, mentoring, and guiding multiple Scrum teams to embrace and optimize Agile practices in alignment with strategic business goals. The Scrum Master will be instrumental in embedding Agile ways of working across teams, ultimately enabling faster, more efficient delivery of high-quality products and exceptional customer experiences. The role is central to fostering an Agile culture and ensuring the organization’s agility scales effectively to meet evolving market demands.

Software Requirements

Preferred software skills include knowledge of advanced Agile tooling, integration tools, or additional project management platforms that enhance team productivity and transparency.

Overall Responsibilities

The Senior Scrum Master will analyze the current maturity of Agile squads, designing strategies to enhance Agile adoption and maturity levels. They will guide teams on Agile best practices, tailoring approaches to meet the organization’s strategic objectives while ensuring consistency and compliance across squads.

Key activities include facilitating Scrum ceremonies (planning, reviews, retrospectives, daily stand-ups), coaching Product Owners and Delivery Leads, and promoting a culture of continuous improvement through goal setting, progress tracking, and metrics-driven practices. The Scrum Master will champion Agile mindsets, fostering an environment of ownership, self-organization, and adaptability.
