Role Description

The role holder will help to feed work into the delivery teams and participate in prioritization. They will support teams during delivery, removing blockers and helping to create transparency. They will balance agile delivery with some traditional programme management practices around project initiation, governance and control.

• Balance a sense of urgency and visioning with a supportive and collaborative approach

• Perform the Scrum Master role for the technical delivery team: facilitate daily stand-ups, sprint planning and retrospective ceremonies, attend and facilitate sprint Show and Tells
• Effectively communicate with leadership, stakeholders and teams to understand their needs and create the right transparency (dynamic reporting)
• Develop a technical understanding in their areas
• Lead teams with minimum support, finding pathways through ambiguity, and raising problems to the appropriate level when necessary.
• Manage backlog and forecast with an agile approach to prioritization and value delivery
• Help to maintain a product roadmap; in conjunction with a Product Owner create and manage user stories and product backlog
• Act as a catalyst for change and improvement
• Provide feedback, guidance, and coaching to members of the team.
• Determine and improve morale through team health checks and team norms while guiding the group toward meeting their objectives/goals.
