We are seeking an experienced Scrum Master to support a large-scale Enterprise Data Migration and AWS Transformation program.
The ideal candidate will have strong experience leading Agile delivery for complex technology transformation, data migration, cloud migration, or application modernization programs involving multiple development, data engineering, AWS/cloud, architecture, QA, business, and production teams.
This is a delivery-focused Scrum Master role, not simply a ceremony-facilitation position. The candidate must be comfortable understanding technical discussions, identifying risks and dependencies, removing impediments, and driving teams toward successful migration milestones and production cutovers.
Key Responsibilities
- Serve as Scrum Master for one or more Data Migration development teams.
- Facilitate Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Planning, Backlog Refinement, Sprint Reviews/Demos, and Retrospectives.
- Coach teams on Agile/Scrum principles and effective delivery practices.
- Partner with Product Owners and technical leads to maintain a healthy and prioritized backlog.
- Ensure stories have clear requirements, acceptance criteria, dependencies, and estimates.
- Coordinate Agile execution across the complete Data Migration lifecycle, including:
- Source data analysis
- Source-to-target mapping
- Data transformation and cleansing
- Migration development
- Unit Testing, SIT, UAT
- Data validation and reconciliation
- Mock conversions
- Dress rehearsals
- Production cutover
- Post-production stabilization
- Track migration objects, interfaces, datasets, and migration waves.
- Identify and resolve cross-team dependencies and delivery impediments.
- Coordinate with AWS/Cloud, source application, target application, architecture, infrastructure, security, QA, business, and production support teams.
- Track risks, blockers, dependencies, actions, owners, and target dates.
- Monitor sprint commitments, velocity, carryover, defects, and delivery trends.
- Challenge unrealistic sprint commitments and drive corrective actions.
- Coordinate migration readiness reviews and production cutover activities.
- Track prerequisites including environment readiness, data availability, testing completion, defect closure, reconciliation, business validation, and runbook completion.
- Participate in Scrum-of-Scrums and cross-workstream delivery meetings.
- Provide Agile and migration delivery reporting using Jira and Confluence.
- Facilitate post-migration retrospectives and continuous improvement activities.
Required Qualifications
- 6+ years of experience in technology delivery, Agile project management, or Scrum Master roles.
- 3+ years of experience as a Scrum Master supporting complex enterprise technology teams.
- Experience supporting Data Migration, Data Engineering, Cloud Transformation, Application Modernization, or large-scale system implementation programs.
- Strong knowledge of Agile and Scrum methodologies.
- Strong hands-on experience with Jira and Confluence.
- Experience managing dependencies across multiple technical teams.
- Strong understanding of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
- Experience coordinating development, testing, release, and production activities.
- Experience working with distributed/onshore-offshore teams.
- Excellent facilitation, communication, conflict-resolution, and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to communicate effectively with developers, architects, Product Owners, business stakeholders, and senior leadership.
