Scrum Master

Job Description For Scrum Master  --------------------------------- We are seeking a high-caliber **Scrum Master** who transcends the role of a traditional "process facilitator." You aren't just here to run ceremonies; you are a strategic leader tasked with fostering a high-performance culture, driving radical transparency, and ensuring our Agile maturity translates directly into business value. As a **Strategic Scrum Master**, you will serve as the bridge between corporate strategy and team execution, acting as a trusted advisor to stakeholders and a catalyst for relentless improvement within your squads. ### **Core Leadership Competencies** * **Customer-Centric Mindset (Outcome Focused):** Shift the team’s focus from "completing tickets" to "delivering value." Partner with Product Owners to ensure every sprint goal is tied to a measurable business outcome. * **Enterprise Mindset:** Navigate the complexities of a global organization, ensuring local initiatives align with broad corporate strategy and do not negatively impact other business units. * **Strategic Partnership Enabler (Build Trust):** Cultivate high-integrity relationships with stakeholders through radical transparency, moving the role from a "service provider" to a "trusted advisor." * **Consultative Approach:** Act as an internal expert who diagnoses business needs and offers data-driven recommendations rather than simply executing requested tasks. * **Conflict Resolution:** Facilitate the healthy exchange of opposing views to reach "win-win" compromises that keep momentum high without damaging cross-functional relationships. * **Continuous Improvement Mindset:** Instill a culture of "relentless improvement" by systematically analyzing failures and successes to refine workflows and reduce waste. ### **Technical & Practitioner Skills** Beyond leadership, the successful candidate must possess a deep "Agile Toolbox" to guide the team through technical and procedural hurdles: * **Agile Framework Expertise:** Advanced mastery of **Scrum**, **Kanban**, and **Lean** principles. Ability to blend methodologies (e.g., Scrumban) to fit the specific needs of the team’s workflow. * **Facilitation Mastery:** Expert at leading high-engagement Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups, Reviews, and Retrospectives that result in actionable improvements. * **Backlog Refinement & Management:** Skilled in helping Product Owners manage a healthy, prioritized backlog and assisting the team in decomposing complex epics into clear, testable user stories. * **Metrics & Data Literacy:** Proficiency in tracking and interpreting Agile metrics such as **Lead Time**, **Cycle Time**, **Throughput**, and **Burndown charts** to predict delivery and identify bottlenecks. * **Impediment Removal:** Proactive identification and neutralization of technical and organizational blockers, often before they impact the team’s velocity. * **Scaling Knowledge:** Understanding of scaling frameworks (such as **SAFe**, **LeSS**, or **Spotify Model**) to coordinate dependencies across multiple teams. * **SDLC Fluency:** A solid understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle, including **CI/CD** pipelines, **DevOps** practices, and automated testing, to better support the team's technical excellence. ### **Qualifications** * **Experience:** 5+ years of experience as a Scrum Master or Agile Coach in a complex, enterprise-level environment. * **Certifications:** PSM II/III, CSM, or SAFe Agilist preferred. * **Communication:** Exceptional ability to translate complex technical blockers into business-impact language for non-technical leaders. * **Tooling:** Expert-level proficiency in **Jira/Confluence**, **Azure DevOps**, or similar enterprise ALM tools. ****How to Apply:**** Please submit an online application for this position by clicking on the ‘Apply Now’ button located in this posting. **Join a Values-Driven Team: Belong, Grow, Innovate.**  At Trimble, our core values of Belong, Grow, and Innovate aren't just words—they're the foundation of our culture.
