Scrum Master - Contract

This is a hands-on, full-time Scrum Master position - not a part-time add-on to a development role. You will work across multiple newly formed Scrum teams, and your focus will be process and people rather than project leadership or technical direction, both of which are already in place.

Day to day you will:

Lead all Scrum ceremonies - sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint demos, and retrospectives - ensuring they are productive and timeboxed Coach teams in self-management, cross-functionality, conflict resolution, and process optimisation Help structure and stabilise a recently scaled team, adapting Agile best practice to suit how the team actually works Track and report Agile metrics such as velocity and burn-down charts to improve predictability, quality, and performance Proactively identify and remove impediments, collaborating with internal and external stakeholders Support compliant delivery within an established medical device quality process, proposing improvements to processes and templates along the wayAbout You

3+ years experience as a Scrum Master or Agile Lead within a software engineering environment A proven track record of navigating and stabilising a recently scaled or growing development team A coaching-led, collaborative style - you assess how a team works before suggesting improvements, and you bring the team with you Experience in medical devices (ISO 13485, IEC 62304) or another heavily regulated, compliance-driven industry is a strong plus Exposure to embedded software development environments is beneficial but not essential Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related fieldThe Package
