Job Description

Scrum Master | Agile Delivery Manager

?? Newcastle upon Tyne (Hybrid 3 days onsite)
?? Competitive Salary + Benefits
?? BPSS & SC Clearance Required (or eligibility)

I'm working with a global consultancy looking for an experienced Scrum Master or Agile Delivery Manager to support the delivery of large-scale software programmes across public and private sector clients.

This isn't a traditional Scrum Master position. It's ideal for someone who enjoys coaching Agile teams while taking ownership of delivery, stakeholder engagement and continuous improvement.

You'll be responsible for:
  • Facilitating Agile delivery across multidisciplinary software teams
  • Leading Scrum ceremonies including sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews and retrospectives
  • Managing delivery risks, dependencies and blockers
  • Supporting product owners with backlog prioritisation
  • Driving delivery metrics and continuous improvement
  • Working closely with developers, architects, testers and business stakeholders
  • Communicating delivery progress to technical and non-technical audiences
  • Supporting Agile best practice across multiple projects
We're looking for experience in:
  • Scrum Master or Agile Delivery roles
  • Agile software delivery
  • Jira (essential)
  • Sprint planning and backlog management
  • Cross-functional software engineering teams
  • Delivery reporting and stakeholder management
  • Continuous improvement and Agile coaching
  • DevOps awareness
Desirable experience
  • Scrum Master or Agile certifications
  • Public Sector or Healthcare delivery
  • GDS experience
  • SC Clearance (or eligibility)

If you're passionate about Agile delivery, enjoy enabling high-performing engineering teams and want to work on large-scale digital transformation programmes, I'd love to speak with you.
