Purpose of the Role:

  • We are seeking a motivated and experienced Scrum Master to work on a project team which is focused on a website migration. The ideal individual will play a crucial role in establishing foundational ways of working, supporting the onboarding of new hires, and guiding the team through Agile methodologies to ensure smooth and efficient project execution.

    • Empower the team to become high-performing and self-organising by encouraging collaboration and accountability.
    • Remove impediments and blockers to ensure progress, including managing any issues with tooling.
    • Foster a transparent, safe, and trusting environment where the team feels empowered to raise challenges and share information freely.
  • Project & Stakeholder Management:

    • Collaborate with the Product Owner to manage and prioritise the product backlog, ensuring it is well-groomed and ready for upcoming sprints.
    • Serve as the key point of contact for the project’s stakeholders, ensuring alignment with the project’s vision and goals.
    • Facilitate effective communication and transparency within the team and between stakeholders, encouraging feedback loops.
  • Re-platforming & Tooling Support:

    • Assist the team in the website migration, ensuring seamless transitions and optimal customer experience.
    • Set up and configure project management and collaboration tools (eg, Jira, Confluence, Figma) to enable smooth workflows.
    • Lead efforts to unblock any tooling challenges faced by the team during the migration process.

Skills & Experience:

  • Scrum Master Certification (CSM, PSM, or equivalent) with proven experience in leading Agile teams.
  • Strong understanding of the Agile Manifesto and principles, with a focus on continuous improvement and leadership.
  • Experience in facilitating Scrum events and guiding teams through successful Scrum adoption.
  • Demonstrated ability to coach teams on Agile methodologies and foster a high-performing, self-organising culture.
  • Proficiency in Jira, Confluence, Figma, or similar tools to support the team’s workflow.
