Scrum Master / Delivery Lead – AI and Automation

Job Description

A national professional services firm is looking for a Scrum Master and Delivery Lead to take charge of delivery across its AI, automation and digital skills programme.

The team is small but growing quickly, and the work spans several parallel workstreams. This role sits across all of them. You would run the agile side, facilitating ceremonies, coaching the teams, keeping backlogs in good shape and clearing whatever is getting in the way, while also owning the governance layer above it: roadmaps, milestones, RAID, dependencies, capacity and reporting.

The reporting goes up to director level, so a large part of the job is giving leadership an accurate picture of where delivery actually stands and what needs deciding. It is a hands-on role rather than a management one, and there is real scope to shape how the function runs as it scales.

What they are looking for:

• Experience covering both scrum master and PMO ground, in technology, digital or transformation environments
• Coordinating delivery across several teams or workstreams at once
• Confident with scrum and kanban, and comfortable coaching teams on both
• Strong on governance, including RAID, dependency management and portfolio reporting
• Able to produce reporting that senior stakeholders can act on
• Someone who brings structure to fast-moving environments without slowing them down
• Willing to challenge constructively and hold people to what they have committed to

PSM or CSM is useful, as is AgilePM, PRINCE2 or similar. A background in professional services or another complex advisory environment would help, and so would experience setting up or maturing a PMO function from a standing start.
