Description      

Role Summary

 

We are seeking an experienced Senior Business analyst/Scrum Master who is a servant leader and agile coach, not a project manager or meeting facilitator. This role requires deep, hands-on Scrum Master experience with a proven ability to coach squads toward higher levels of agile maturity, ownership, and continuous improvement. Candidates with predominantly Project Management backgrounds will not be considered unless they demonstrate significant, sustained experience operating as a Scrum Master.

 

Key Responsibilities

 

Act as a true Scrum Master, embedding agile principles and Scrum values across squads

Coach squads to improve agile maturity, self-organization, accountability, and flow

Go beyond facilitating ceremonies by:

Identifying and removing systemic impediments

Driving continuous improvement using data and insights

Challenging anti-patterns and ineffective behaviors

Partner with Product Owners to improve backlog readiness, value delivery, and stakeholder collaboration

Coach teams and leaders on agile mindset, not just processes

Support squads in delivering predictable, high-quality outcomes

Facilitate healthy team dynamics and psychological safety

Collaborate with other Scrum Masters to drive consistency and best practices across the organization

Actively contribute to scaling initiatives where applicable

 

Required Experience & Skills

 

Minimum 5+ years of dedicated Scrum Master experience (not combined with PM duties)

Demonstrated success coaching teams from low to high agile maturity

Strong understanding of Scrum, Kanban, Lean, and Agile principles

Proven ability to influence without authority and challenge the status quo

Experience addressing team and organizational impediments, not just sprint-level issues

Strong coaching, facilitation, and conflict resolution skills

Ability to work with multiple squads if required

 

Desirable Experience

 

Experience working in Scaled Agile environments (e.g., SAFe, LeSS, Nexus, Spotify model, or equivalent)

Experience coaching squads within complex, enterprise environments

Agile coaching or Scrum Master certifications (CSM, PSM, SAFe SM, etc.)

 

What This Role Is Not

 

Not a Project Manager role

Not a delivery tracker or status reporter

Not limited to facilitating Scrum ceremonies

 

This is a remote position.
