The Lead Scrum Master owns Scrum effectiveness across multiple squads within the Risk & Delivery function, ensuring consistent cadence, ceremony quality, and improvement discipline. Working closely with Product Owners, Engineering, and technology partners, this role coaches other Scrum Masters, resolves cross-squad impediments, and standardises delivery practices across the area. The role applies scaled-agile approaches where appropriate to keep distributed teams aligned on release plans and delivery commitments.

Who You'll Do

- Own Scrum effectiveness across multiple squads within the delivery area, ensuring consistent cadence, ceremony quality, and improvement discipline.
- Coach Scrum Masters and squad leads on facilitation quality, team maturity, and handling of complex delivery situations, modelling a servant-leadership approach.
- Identify and resolve cross-squad impediments, dependency issues, and systemic blockers affecting delivery flow or release confidence.
- Partner with Product Owners to ensure backlogs are groomed and maintained, sprint goals are clear, and planning quality supports predictable delivery.
- Facilitate Scrum-of-Scrums forums across distributed teams to surface cross-team dependencies and align release plans with technology partners.
- Compare delivery health across squads using shared metrics (velocity,



sprint/release status, predictability) and target interventions where needed.
- Standardise minimum expectations for ceremonies, working agreements, metrics usage, and retrospective follow-through across the delivery area.
- Partner with Engineering, Product, and DevOps to improve planning interfaces, dependency handling, and CI/CD-aligned release readiness.
- Lead time-bound improvement efforts for squads falling below expected delivery health or predictability thresholds, applying scaled-agile practices (e.g., Scrum of Scrums, LeSS, SAFe) where relevant.
- Escalate material risks, recurring bottlenecks, and structural process issues to delivery leadership with evidence-backed recommendations.

Who You Are:

- Demonstrated experience applying scaled-agile approaches (e.g., Scrum of Scrums, LeSS, SAFe) across distributed teams.
- Strong track record in backlog management, velocity/burndown tracking, and task-level estimation practices.
- Working knowledge of software delivery practices, including Test-Driven Development, Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery, user story writing, and BDD/ATDD.
- Proficiency with project and collaboration tooling such as JIRA, Confluence, Trello, or Rally.
