• Coach the squad, Product Owner, and stakeholders on Agile values, Scrum practices, and ways of working that enable effective collaboration and sustainable delivery.
• Identify, track, and help remove impediments, risks, and dependencies that prevent the team from achieving sprint and delivery goals.
• Support the Product Owner in maintaining a clear, prioritised, and ready backlog, ensuring the squad understands the goals, scope, and expected outcomes of the work.
• Promote transparency through meaningful team metrics, delivery insights, and clear communication on progress, risks, and impediments.
• Foster a culture of continuous improvement by helping the team inspect, adapt, and improve its processes, collaboration, and delivery quality.
• Ensure deliverables and team practices follow relevant guidelines and standards, including documentation and Agile governance expectations.

Job Requirements:

• Strong facilitation, coaching, conflict-resolution, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and influencing skills, with the ability to engage both technical teams and business stakeholders.
• Good organizational and analytical skills, with the ability to priorities and bring structure in a changing environment.
• Experience with Agile delivery tools such as Azure DevOps, Jira, or Confluence is an advantage.
• Experience in banking, financial services, or regulated technology environments is a plus.
