My client is seeking a dynamic and experienced Scrum Master to join their Agile transformation journey. As they shift from traditional waterfall methods to an Agile approach, they need someone who can streamline, formalize, and enhance their Agile practices. This individual will help guide teams through Agile frameworks (primarily SAFe and Kanban) while working to establish stronger collaboration within teams/Agile Center of Excellence. The successful candidate will bring both practical Scrum Master expertise and the ability to adapt and contribute to our evolving Agile culture.

Scrum Master Responsibilities:
  • Act as a servant leader to support teams and individuals in adopting Agile practices, focusing on Scrum principles while facilitating key Scrum ceremonies (standups, sprints, retrospectives, etc.)
  • Support teams in identifying and removing roadblocks, guiding them towards continuous improvement, and ensuring high performance
  • Work closely with Product Owners, other Scrum Masters, and key stakeholders across departments to ensure alignment and remove obstacles that impede progress
  • Help formalize Agile processes and refine our methodology, based on SAFe, Kanban, and other best practices that suit the team's needs
  • Contribute to the ongoing development of MAG's Agile Center of Excellence by sharing insights and knowledge, while ensuring Agile processes are being followed across teams
  • Facilitate clear communication between cross-functional teams, ensuring that stakeholders are informed and aligned on deliverables and goals
  • Promote an Agile mindset by fostering a culture of transparency, self-organization, and continuous improvement in team dynamics and delivery processes

Scrum Master Requirements:
  • Proven experience as a Scrum Master or Agile Coach, ideally in a SAFe or Kanban environment
  • Deep understanding of Agile frameworks, principles, and Scrum practices
  • Ability to work in a hybrid environment, balancing Agile methodologies with the evolving needs of the business
  • Experience working with supply chain teams, or a strong understanding of supply chain dynamics and terminology
  • Familiarity with data, business intelligence (BI), or database concepts. Prior experience working with DBAs or teams involved in database and data solutions is a plus
  • Exposure or knowledge of Microsoft Business Intelligence (MS BI) tools and the transition from traditional BI platforms
  • Strong analytical skills and a solution-oriented mindset for troubleshooting and removing impediments
  • Experience in working with multi-disciplinary teams, especially those involving data-related roles (DBAs, data analysts)
  • Familiarity with transitioning from traditional waterfall models to Agile methodologies in a large organization
  • Knowledge of SAFe frameworks, Lean, and other Agile scaling methods is a plus

If this job sounds appealing and you meet the requirements above, we encourage you to apply today!
