We are looking for an experienced Scrum Master operating to join a complex technology delivery environment for a central Government Department.
This role would particularly suit someone who has progressed into Scrum Master or Agile Delivery positions from a software development or software testing background and therefore brings a strong technical understanding alongside their Agile delivery experience.

- Drive delivery outcomes while applying Agile principles pragmatically
- Identify and remove delivery impediments, risks and dependencies
- Use your technical background to assess delivery health, quality and readiness
- Work closely with Developers, Testers, Product Owners and Delivery Leads
- Provide clear delivery updates to stakeholders
- 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
- Strong delivery focus, with the ability to identify and resolve blockers
- Confident stakeholder management and communication skills
- Ability to challenge, influence and drive positive delivery outcomes
Desirable Experience
- Previous experience within government, public sector or other regulated environments
