Agile Lead to Home Furnishing Company

A global leader in the home furnishing retail industry is evolving its digital CORE retail offering by implementing a new cloud-based Integration Platform – designed to enable seamless connectivity between internal systems, retail solutions, and global supply networks. As this platform continues to grow, we're looking for an experienced Agile Team Lead to drive its development forward by fostering high-performing teams, championing agile principles, and securing outcome-focused delivery.

This is a full-time assignment starting as soon as possible and running until August 31, 2025, with potential for extension. The role is based in Malmö, with a hybrid setup of 2–3 days per week in the office and the remainder remote.

About the role:

You will lead a cross-functional, cloud-focused platform team responsible for developing and scaling a modern integration infrastructure. Working in close collaboration with platform owners, architects, and business stakeholders, your mission is to create an agile, empowered, and technically aligned team that delivers high-impact integration solutions. Your leadership will directly support the realization of measurable business outcomes and platform reliability.

Responsibilities:

• Align team delivery with platform strategy and business outcomes through goal-oriented sprint planning
• Collaborate with stakeholders to define team goals, release scopes, and success metrics
• Facilitate daily stand-ups, sprint planning, retrospectives, and other agile ceremonies
• Ensure work items are structured and continuously prioritized for value delivery
• Drive continuous improvements across practices like CI/CD, automated testing, and DevOps
• Track KPIs such as integration success rates, platform uptime, and latency
• Visualize and communicate progress via dashboards and transparent reporting
• Foster psychological safety and team accountability through supportive leadership

• Partner with product owners, architects, and integration leads to align delivery
• Support decision-making with clear insights on delivery status and strategic trade-offs

About you:

You are an experienced Agile Team Lead or Scrum Master who thrives in a high-paced, complex environment.

You lead with empathy, build trust, and foster ownership across your teams, all while keeping an eye on the real-world impact of the solutions being delivered.

• Technical understanding of cloud-based platforms and system integrations
• Proficiency with tools like Jira, Azure DevOps, Confluence, or similar
