Your New Role

We are working with a fast growing SaaS organisation, who are looking to implement Agile working practices. As Scrum Master, you’ll work closely with Product, Business Analysis, C++ Development and QA teams to plan, manage and report on the delivery of upcoming releases. You’ll run the Scrum cadence, including sprint planning, reviews and retrospectives, while managing Jira workflows, capacity planning, dependencies, risks and blockers. This is a hands-on role where you’ll support the immediate delivery of the next release while also implementing tangible improvements to processes, tools and ways of working.

Ensuring Your Success

You’ll have strong experience working as a Scrum Master within an Agile software delivery environment, with a solid understanding of Scrum events, backlog refinement, estimation, forecasting and capacity planning. You’ll be confident using Jira for workflow configuration, boards, dashboards and reporting, and comfortable working with senior technical stakeholders, including engineers. You’ll also be a pragmatic Agile coach, able to improve processes within a lower-maturity environment without creating unnecessary bureaucracy, while providing clear reporting to CTO and SLT level.

In Return

You’ll join an established and successful software business where you’ll have the opportunity to make a genuine impact on how products are delivered. This is a hands-on Scrum Master position where you’ll be able to influence Agile maturity, improve release processes and work closely with Product, Engineering, QA and Business Analysis teams. Experience across SaaS or compliance software would be advantageous, alongside PSM, CSM, SAFe or equivalent certification, although proven delivery experience will be valued most highly.
