This is a place where you'll have the freedom to explore new ideas, take ownership of your career, and collaborate with people who are as driven and inquisitive as you are.

Are you passionate about Agile principles and ready to make a real impact in a global organisation? At Gallagher Re, we’re looking for an experienced and motivated Scrum Master to support multiple squads in delivering high-quality outcomes. This is your opportunity to work in a dynamic, collaborative environment where your skills will help shape the future of our business.

We are looking for someone who embodies high energy and character for driving the success of Agile Scrum squads. Such a professional should possess a track record of facilitating Agile practices, fostering collaboration, and ensuring the team adheres to Scrum principles.

This is mainly a remote/home-based opportunity so you can be based from anywhere in the UK. Our only requirement is that you can be flexible to travel to an office as and when needed and also to make our team touchdown day in our London office once a quarter.

If you’re ready to take on a role that combines leadership, collaboration, and innovation, we’d love to hear from you!
