ABOUT GENESYS

Genesys empowers organizations of all sizes to improve loyalty and business outcomes by creating the best experiences for their customers and employees. Through Genesys Cloud, the AI-powered Experience Orchestration platform, organizations accelerate growth by delivering empathetic, personalized experiences at scale. Our IT End User Services function is the engine behind the employee experience - spanning service delivery, digital workplace engineering, and global operations.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a senior delivery leadership role sitting at the intersection of Agile expertise, facilitation, and structured project management. The Senior Scrum Master & Project Coordinator owns the end-to-end delivery discipline for IT End User Services - including the Global Employee Experience Centre (GEEC), Digital Workplace Engineering, and the AV & Collaboration team. You will run Scrum ceremonies across multiple workstreams, simultaneously coordinate projects that don't fit a pure sprint model, and serve as the resident Agile coach and advisor - shaping how teams work and how leadership thinks about delivery maturity.

This role is critical to Genesys IT's transformation: you will bring structure and Agile rigor to a function scaling its delivery capability, advise senior leadership on where Agile practices can accelerate outcomes, drive on-time delivery of infrastructure and collaboration initiatives, and act as the connective tissue between engineering teams and leadership visibility.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Agile Delivery & Scrum Mastery

• Serve as the primary Scrum Master for two or more concurrent IT End User Services teams, including Digital Workplace Engineering and the AV & Collaboration workstream.

• Facilitate sprint planning, daily stand-ups, backlog grooming sessions, sprint reviews, and retrospectives - keeping all ceremonies time-boxed, outcome-focused, and consistently actioned.

• Coach and mentor team members and any junior Scrum Masters (current or future hires) on Agile principles, servant leadership, and continuous improvement habits.

• Run or represent teams in governance discussions and forums with other agile professionals, coordinating dependencies across GEEC, Service Experience, and Regional Operations.

• Define and track team-level delivery metrics (velocity, sprint completion rate, cycle time, impediment age) using Jira dashboards and present to leadership monthly.

• Drive retrospective outcomes through to implementation - not just capture, but close actions.

• Guide supported teams through quarterly planning activities, helping align roadmap priorities and team goals.

Agile Expertise, Coaching & Advisory

• Act as the Agile subject matter expert for IT End User Services - the go-to authority on methodology, framework selection, and delivery practice for both teams and leadership.

• Advise the Director of Digital Experience and senior IT leadership on where Agile principles or hybrid delivery models would improve throughput, predictability, or team health - with concrete recommendations, not just observations.

• Assess current Agile maturity across IT EUS teams using recognized models (e.g. Scrum Alliance Maturity Model, Agile Fluency) and develop a roadmap to close gaps over time.

• Design and deliver Agile onboarding and upskilling for new team members, ensuring consistent understanding of ceremonies, artifacts, and working agreements across all IT EUS squads.

• Guide teams through the appropriate application of Scrum, Kanban, or hybrid frameworks depending on workstream type - recognizing that infrastructure and AV delivery doesn't always map cleanly to two-week sprints.

• Partner with the GEEC and Service Experience leadership to embed Agile thinking into ITSM workflows, service intake, and continuous improvement cycles.

• Stay current on Agile industry trends, emerging frameworks, and AI-augmented delivery practices - bringing relevant insights back to the organization with practical application ideas.

Project Coordination & Management

• Lead project coordination for IT End User Services initiatives: office builds, AV deployments, endpoint refresh programs, digital workplace tooling rollouts, and Workplace platform upgrades.

• Develop and maintain project plans, RAID logs (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies), and schedules across Agile and waterfall workstreams using tools such as Smartsheet, Microsoft Project, or Jira.

• Own stakeholder communication for assigned projects - producing concise status reports, decision papers, and executive summaries for Director and VP-level audiences.

• Coordinate vendor, contractor, and cross-functional team activities to ensure delivery milestones are met on time and within budget.

• Manage change requests, scope adjustments, and escalations with documented impact assessments.

• Support post-project reviews and lessons-learned documentation, feeding findings back into the Agile retrospective cycle.

AV & Collaboration Project Support

• Coordinate AV and collaboration technology projects including conference room builds, video-conferencing deployments, digital signage rollouts, and huddle space upgrades.

• Liaise with AV engineers, facilities teams, and external integrators to track scope, schedule, and commissioning readiness.

• Manage punch lists, room acceptance checklists, and sign-off documentation through to operational handover.

• Ensure AV project delivery aligns with the broader Digital Workplace Engineering roadmap and regional office build programs.

Governance, Reporting & Continuous Improvement

• Maintain Jira board health across assigned teams - ensuring backlog hygiene, accurate sprint configuration, and story-level definition of done.

• Contribute to the IT End User Services governance framework including intake, prioritization, and capacity planning ceremonies.

• Champion AI-assisted delivery tooling for ceremony prep, note capture, status summarization, and predictive sprint planning.

• Identify delivery risks across workstreams and present mitigation proposals to leadership.

WHAT YOU BRING

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as a Scrum Master, with at least 2 years in a senior, lead, or coaching capacity across multiple simultaneous teams.

• Demonstrated experience acting as an Agile coach or advisor - shaping how teams and leaders understand and adopt Agile practices, not just running ceremonies.

• 3+ years of direct project coordination or project management experience, owning project plans, RAID logs, schedules, and stakeholder communications.

• Demonstrated experience supporting IT infrastructure, digital workplace, or end user services environments.

• Ability to assess team Agile maturity and build a credible, actionable improvement plan without relying on external coaching resources.

• Proven ability to produce concise written communications for senior leadership - status reports, decision papers, and risk summaries.

• Experience facilitating Scrum ceremonies across hybrid (remote + onsite) teams across multiple time zones.
