- Ensure delivery activities align with relevant governance requirements
- Challenge teams and stakeholders constructively to keep delivery on track
Essential Experience
- Proven experience working as a Scrum Master at SFIA Level 5
- Previous hands-on experience within software development or software testing
- Strong understanding of Agile delivery methodologies and the end-to-end software delivery lifecycle
- Experience working within complex, multi-team technology environments
