Scrum Master - W2 Only

We are seeking a collaborative, metrics-driven Scrum Lead to support two high-performing, on-site development sub-teams (8–10 total team members) responsible for our core wealth products. Rather than acting solely as a meeting facilitator, you will serve as an active, embedded member of the team—helping navigate technical challenges, coaching on Agile best practices, and driving continuous delivery through data.

Key Responsibilities

·        Agile Facilitation & Coaching: Lead 2-week Scrum sprints, gap-week planning sessions, and standard Agile ceremonies following  guidelines.

·        Flow Metrics & Analytics: Track and optimize core performance metrics, including cycle time, throughput, work-in-progress (WIP), and work aging.

·     Jira & Delivery Management: Maintain strict Jira hygiene across the hierarchy (Stories  Epics  Capabilities  Initiatives) to ensure high data integrity and visibility.

·        Process Improvement: Actively work toward organizational OKRs, including targeted cycle-time reductions for feature work and maintaining ideal WIP-to-throughput ratios.

·        Technical & Team Collaboration: Partner closely with back-end, front-end, and product teams to remove technical blockers and refine application design workflows.

·        AI Tooling Integration: Leverage AI tools and automation for workflow optimization, data analysis, and reporting.

Qualifications

·        Experience: Proven track record as a Scrum Master or Scrum Lead in mature Agile environments.

·        Technical Background: Strong preference for candidates with prior hands-on experience in software engineering, data, analytics, or architecture.

·        Framework Mastery: Deep understanding of Scrum frameworks, flow metrics (cycle time, throughput, WIP), and continuous integration/delivery processes.

·        Tool Proficiency: Advanced expertise with Jira setup, metric extraction, and reporting.

·        AI Familiarity: Practical experience utilizing AI tools to streamline administrative tasks, analysis, and team operations.

·        Soft Skills: Exceptional communication, proactive problem-solving, and a team-first coaching mindset.
