A unique and exciting opportunity has arisen for full‑time Scrum Masters to join a different and challenging workplace, to help us shape our transformation and coach teams in Agile ways of working. As the Scrum Master for one or more teams you will play a pivotal role in coaching, facilitating, mentoring and training the team(s) on their journey to more Agile ways of working.

Your work will focus on delivering value at the team level, while collaborating with the wider programme and Agile practice.
