Agile Scrum Master - 12-18 month Contract

The Role & Culture

Our client operates with a progressive, highly autonomous flat structure—there are no line managers or rigid corporate bureaucracies.

Scrum Masters in this organisation act as true servant-leaders and agile coaches rather than traditional taskmasters.

Key Responsibilities

• Servant-Leadership: Guide, coach, and support cross-functional engineering teams in embedding agile values, principles, and scrum practices.
• Outcome & Value Focus: Shift team focus towards delivering tangible customer outcomes and long-term value rather than simple output.
• Impediment Removal & Facilitation: Facilitate core scrum ceremonies (timeboxing effectively) and proactively resolve blockers to keep delivery momentum smooth.
• Backlog & Product Collaboration: Partner closely with Product Owners on backlog refinement, effective planning techniques, and establishing shared goals across squads.
• Trust & Transparency: Build psychological safety within teams so conflicts are handled constructively and continuous improvement is championed.
• Cross-Team Synergy: Collaborate with fellow Scrum Masters to align best practices across multiple delivery squads.

About You

• We are seeking an empathetic, curious, and structured Scrum Master who views agile as a collaborative mindset rather than a rigid set of rules.
• SaaS / Technical Environment: Proven track record scrum mastering within technical software engineering, SaaS, or complex digital product teams.
• Facilitation & Coaching Skills: Outstanding communication skills with a passion for mentoring individuals, coaching teams, and driving sustainable delivery paces.
• Long-Term Commitment: Fully comfortable committing to a 12–18 month contract, including an initial onboarding period working closely alongside existing squads to absorb domain context.
• Autonomous Mindset: Comfortable navigating a manager-free environment where you take personal accountability for team enablement.
