Job Description

YT Technologies is currently representing a high-growth, multi-award-winning enterprise software provider delivering critical digital solutions across the healthcare and public sector ecosystems. Unlike typical short-term, 3-month contract assignments, our client is seeking an experienced, high-calibre Agile Scrum Master for a long-term 12 to 18-month assignment. Joining a mature, cross-functional product environment (comprising Developers, Product Owners, UX Designers, and Agile Coaches), you will help guide and empower software engineering teams to deliver high-impact value. The Role & Culture Our client operates with a progressive, highly autonomous flat structure—there are no line managers or rigid corporate bureaucracies. Scrum Masters in this organisation act as true servant-leaders and agile coaches rather than traditional taskmasters.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Servant-Leadership: Guide, coach, and support cross-functional engineering teams in embedding agile values, principles, and scrum practices.
  • Outcome & Value Focus: Shift team focus towards delivering tangible customer outcomes and long-term value rather than simple output.
  • Impediment Removal & Facilitation: Facilitate core scrum ceremonies (timeboxing effectively) and proactively resolve blockers to keep delivery momentum smooth.
  • Backlog & Product Collaboration: Partner closely with Product Owners on backlog refinement, effective planning techniques, and establishing shared goals across squads.
  • Trust & Transparency: Build psychological safety within teams so conflicts are handled constructively and continuous improvement is championed.
  • Cross-Team Synergy: Collaborate with fellow Scrum Masters to align best practices across multiple delivery squads. About You We are seeking an empathetic, curious, and structured Scrum Master who views agile as a collaborative mindset rather than a rigid set of rules.
  • SaaS / Technical Environment: Proven track record scrum mastering within technical software engineering, SaaS, or complex digital product teams.
  • Facilitation & Coaching Skills: Outstanding communication skills with a passion for mentoring individuals, coaching teams, and driving sustainable delivery paces.
  • Long-Term Commitment: Fully comfortable committing to a 12–18 month contract, including an initial onboarding period working closely alongside existing squads to absorb domain context.
  • Autonomous Mindset: Comfortable navigating a manager-free environment where you take personal accountability for team enablement Please apply for more details
