Core Responsibilities- Agile Delivery Facilitation:
Facilitate all core Scrum ceremonies (sprint planning, daily stand-ups, reviews, retrospectives), maintain clear sprint goals, and remove delivery impediments. - Technical Delivery Enablement:
Enable teams delivering across digital platforms, systems integration, APIs, and data. Coordinate collaboration across technical specialists, architects, and vendors to manage interdependencies. - Platform & Infrastructure

Actively interface with platform engineering, architecture, and infrastructure teams to ensure alignment, integration readiness, and smooth execution across non-functional requirements. - Workstream Leadership Partnership:

5–8+ years of experience as a Scrum Master or Agile delivery practitioner in complex, multi-stream environments. - Technical & Platform Knowledge:
- Solid understanding of software delivery, modern engineering tool chains (JIRA, Confluence, Git-based tools, CI/CD), and enterprise architecture foundations.

- Relevant tertiary qualification in IT, Business, or a related field.
- Recognized Agile/Scrum certification (e.g., CSM, PSM I/II, SAFe Scrum Master, or equivalent).
