A large financial organisation is improving software delivery through cross-functional agile teams. This senior Scrum Master role combines Kanban, Jira-based reporting and delivery ownership, with coaching across multiple dependencies and stakeholders.
The mission
The Scrum Master is the reference point for applying agile methods across the project team. You make the approach understood, guide the team towards self-organisation and help stakeholders interact with it effectively.

You support the Product Owner with the Product Backlog, help the team maintain the Sprint Backlog and Definition of Done, and track capacity and velocity for planning and progress. The work requires coordination across multiple dependencies in a complex organisation.
Your responsibilities
- Own delivery follow-up across multiple squads and coordinate their dependencies.
- Facilitate Scrum ceremonies and other meetings, keeping the agreed cadence.
- Track methodology milestones, team capacity, velocity and delivery progress.
- Support Product Owner backlog work and the team’s Sprint Backlog and Definition of Done.
