Then read on…\nWorking in our Connectivity Division\nConnectivity is no longer a nice-to-have; it’s the foundation everything else is built on. Our Connectivity business exists to make reliable, secure connections available where they matter most. We’re growing fast, and we’re looking for curious, driven people who want to build something meaningful, take ownership and see the real-world impact of their work.\nWe’re now looking for a Satcom Scrum Master to help our end-to-end satellite communications team do its best work. If you enjoy helping talented engineers work well together on hard technical problems, we’d love to hear from you.\nWhat you’ll be doing\nRunning the team’s sprint planning, stand-ups, refinement, reviews and retrospectives, and making sure each one is focused and useful.\n\nCoaching the team, the Product Owner and wider stakeholders on Agile ways of working, and building a culture where people feel safe to speak up and take ownership.\n\nWorking with the Product Owner to keep the backlog healthy, slice work well and agree clear Definitions of Ready and Done, including integration and verification criteria.\n\nFinding and clearing blockers and dependencies across space, ground, network and service, working with Operations, Ground Systems, Platform, AIT and external suppliers.\n\nFitting iterative delivery around hardware lead times, test campaigns and programme milestones, and raising trade-offs early.\n\nProtecting the team’s focus from mid-sprint disruption and scope creep.\n\nUsing flow metrics such as cycle time, throughput and WIP limits, along with blameless retrospectives, to keep improving how the team works.\n\nGiving clear, honest updates on progress, risks and impediments to the Head of Satellite Connectivity and division leadership.\n\nWhat you’ll bring\nA Scrum Master certification such as PSM I/II or CSM, or an equivalent.\n\nIn-depth knowledge of Scrum, Kanban and Lean, and an understanding of scaling frameworks like SAFe or LeSS and when to use them.\n\nEnough understanding of satellite communications, from space segment through ground stations and network to service, to follow the architecture and see where delivery gets stuck.\n\nAn understanding of how systems engineering and hardware/software integration lifecycles fit together with Agile delivery.\n\nStrong facilitation, coaching and conflict-resolution skills.\n\nConfidence using data and flow metrics to spot bottlenecks and improve things.\n\nClear communication with both technical and non-technical people, including suppliers and senior leaders.\n\nFamiliarity with tools like Jira, Confluence and Miro.\n\nResilience: you stay calm and constructive when milestones slip, suppliers are late or tests fail, and you help the team get back on track.\n\nOur preference is for this role to be based in the UK but we are open to receive applications for suitable candidates based in one of our other locations.\nTo apply, you must have the legal right to work in your chosen location.\nPlease submit your application and CV in English.\nWhy Open Cosmos?\nWork at the cutting edge of space technology with customers around the globe\n\nA mission-driven company making space accessible to help solve real-world challenges\n\nA diverse, ambitious, and supportive team\n\nEqual opportunity employer\nAt Open Cosmos, we are dedicated to fostering a workplace built on respect, dignity, and belonging. As an equal opportunity employer, we actively challenge bias to ensure every candidate and employee feels truly welcome. We celebrate diversity in all its forms and are committed to maintaining an inclusive environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3874,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Satellite Communications","Military Satellites","Satellite Manufacturing","Space Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T06:17:13Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Senior or Specialist Worker, Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker; Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-12T07:36:15+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":186,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T08:29:47Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/open-cosmos-satcom-scrum-master","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/open-cosmos-satcom-scrum-master.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T08:29:47Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":17125,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":51554},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=51554"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fopen-cosmos-satcom-scrum-master"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fopen-cosmos-satcom-scrum-master"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fopen-cosmos-satcom-scrum-master"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/open-cosmos-satcom-scrum-master\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fopen-cosmos-satcom-scrum-master"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4143924}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"open-cosmos.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4143924},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
