About the role
We are seeking a highly disciplined, detail-oriented Senior Agile Practitioner to join the team and bridge the gap between high-level product vision and granular execution. In this role, you aren't just a "meeting facilitator", you are a workflow architect. You understand that the magic of Agile lies in the details: the precision of a well-written user story, the accuracy of velocity tracking, and the subtle bottlenecks in a Kanban flow. As an observant facilitator and a process purist with empathy, you will guide cross-functional engineering teams toward predictable, high-quality delivery while relentlessly refining our processes.
What you will do:
- Framework Mastery: Lead multiple squads using a hybrid approach—driving Scrum for iterative development and Kanban for continuous flow and operational tasks.
- Ceremony Excellence: Facilitate high-impact Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Planning, Reviews, and Retrospectives, ensuring these meetings are lean, focused, and result in actionable outcomes.
- Precision Backlog Management: Partner closely with Product Owners to ensure backlogs are meticulously groomed. You will ensure that "Definition of Ready" and "Definition of Done" are strictly enforced standards, not just buzzwords.
- Data-Driven Optimization: Analyze sprint metrics (Velocity, Burndown) and Kanban flow metrics (Cycle Time, Lead Time, Throughput) to identify trends and predict delivery timelines with high accuracy.
- Blocker Removal: Proactively identify and dismantle technical and organizational dependencies before they impact the sprint.
- Continuous Improvement: Foster a culture of "Kaizen." You won't just spot problems; you will design and implement the structural solutions to prevent them from recurring.
What you bring:
- Extensive Experience: 5–7 years of dedicated experience as a Scrum Master, Agile Coach, or IT Project Manager in a software development environment.
- Hybrid Expertise: Expert-level understanding of both the time-boxed rigor of Scrum and the flow-based principles of Kanban.
- Technical Fluency: Deep administrative expertise in Jira and Confluence (or equivalent tools). You must be able to build custom dashboards, configure workflows, and extract meaningful reports.
- The "Detail" Factor: Proven ability to manage complex dependencies and maintain documentation that is clear, concise, and current.
- Exceptional Communication: The ability to notice unspoken tensions in a room and effectively translate technical hurdles into business impacts for stakeholders.
Nice if you have:
- Industry Certifications: Relevant Agile certifications such as CSM (Certified Scrum Master), CSP (Certified Scrum Professional), or KMP (Kanban Management Professional) are highly preferred.
- Technical Background: A foundational understanding of software engineering lifecycles and CI/CD pipelines to better empathize with the development team and remove technical blockers.
