Job description

We’re working with a well-known organisation embarking on an exciting Agile transformation and are looking for an experienced Scrum Master / Agile Coach to help shape the future of delivery across multiple technology teams.

This is more than a traditional Scrum Master role. You’ll play a key part in helping the organisation transition to a more mature Scrum way of working, coaching teams, embedding Agile best practice and driving continuous improvement across the wider technology function. Alongside this, you’ll own the day-to-day Scrum Master responsibilities, ensuring delivery remains structured, predictable and transparent.

What you’ll be doing

  • Acting as Scrum Master across multiple product teams.
  • Coaching teams and stakeholders in Agile and Scrum best practice.
  • Facilitating Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Reviews and Retrospectives.
  • Driving Agile maturity and continuous improvement.
  • Removing delivery blockers and managing cross-team dependencies.
  • Working closely with Product Owners and technology leadership to improve delivery outcomes.
  • Owning Jira administration, including boards, workflows, permissions, dashboards and reporting.
  • Creating transparency around delivery, risks, capacity and progress.

Requirements

  • Proven experience as a Scrum Master, Agile Coach or Agile Delivery Lead.
  • Strong experience embedding Agile ways of working within technology teams.
  • Hands-on Jira administration experience, not just day-to-day usage.
  • Ability to configure workflows, boards, permissions and reporting.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and facilitation skills.
  • Experience managing risks, dependencies and delivery across multiple teams.
  • A pragmatic approach to Agile, focused on outcomes rather than process.

Nice to have

  • Experience introducing Agile into organisations transitioning from traditional delivery models.
  • Experience working across Digital, ERP or Technology Transformation programmes.
  • Experience working alongside third-party suppliers.
  • Atlassian certifications or Agile qualifications would be advantageous.
