Agile Scaling Support

  • Participate in Agile ceremonies at scale (e.g., PI Planning, Scrum of Scrums, System Demos) if using SAFe or similar framework.
  • Interface with Release Train Engineers (RTEs), Solution Architects, and other Scrum Masters to synchronize team deliveries.
  • Contribute to Agile metrics and reporting dashboards (velocity, burndown, team health).

Tools & Technology

  • Use Jira (or similar) to manage team backlogs and progress.
  • Familiarity with SAP Activate methodology and integration points with Agile planning.
  • Coordinate with SAP functional leads (e.g., FI/CO, MM, PM, SD) and technical leads (e.g., Basis, ABAP, PI/PO).

Required Qualifications:

  • 5+ years experience as a Scrum Master in enterprise-scale Agile delivery.
  • Experience with SAP S/4HANA implementation or major ERP platforms (SAP ECC, Oracle, Workday, etc.).
  • Strong understanding of Agile (Scrum, Kanban) and hybrid delivery models in a structured environment.
  • Familiarity with SAP Activate methodology and traditional SAP project phases.
  • Experience in scaled Agile frameworks (e.g., SAFe) and managing cross-team dependencies.
  • Excellent facilitation, coaching, and conflict resolution skills.
  • Must be proficient in Jira and proficient in other tools such as Confluence, MS Project, or equivalents
