Requirements

We are looking for a Scrum Master that is excited about the below Mission and Outcomes over the next 6-12 months.

At Sleek, we are on a mission to streamline and scale our operations through intelligent automation. We are seeking a Scrum Master who is passionate about driving effective delivery across Sleek's cross-functional product and engineering teams by enabling high-quality execution, clear communication, and predictable outcomes.

You will champion agile practices, maintain delivery momentum, and ensure all stakeholders, from engineering to product to business, remain aligned, informed, and confident in delivery progress.

You'll work closely with Product Managers, Engineering Leads, Designers, and external stakeholders to ensure:

  • High-quality, on-time delivery
  • Clear communication and expectation management
  • Strong cross-team alignment and transparency
  • Continuous improvement of delivery processes
  • Healthy team dynamics, collaboration, and accountability

Outcomes

Establish Reliable Delivery Cadence

  • Implement and operationalize Agile ceremonies (daily standups, retros, backlog refinement, sprint planning, showcases)
  • Achieve sprint predictability with stable velocity and minimal spillover
  • Introduce delivery reporting dashboards for visibility into progress, risks, and blockers

Improve Stakeholder Communication and Alignment

  • Create clear communication pathways between product, engineering, business, and leadership
  • Produce concise weekly delivery updates outlining progress, risks, dependencies, and next steps
  • Ensure all stakeholders have early visibility on timelines, trade-offs, and potential scope changes

Remove Blockers and Strengthen Collaboration

  • Identify cross-team dependencies early and coordinate resolution
  • Reduce recurring bottlenecks by implementing systemic fixes (e.g. clearer acceptance criteria, improved estimation, better prioritization)
  • Foster a culture of psychological safety, accountability, and constructive feedback

Drive Continuous Process Improvement

  • Conduct regular retros and implement measurable improvements to team flow, sprint reliability, communication, and QA readiness
  • Introduce agile delivery frameworks tailored to Sleek's product and engineering needs (for example Kanban for support work or Scrum for product teams)
  • Reduce context-switching, improve work-in-progress limits, and streamline ticket workflows

Support High-Quality Product Releases

  • Ensure stories meet the definition of ready (DOR) and definition of done (DOD)
  • Collaborate closely with QA and dev teams to strengthen testing, acceptance criteria, and release readiness
  • Introduce or reinforce lightweight release management processes (for example cutover plans, testing windows, stakeholder sign-offs)

To do this you will have:

  • 3 + years in delivery roles such as Scrum Master, Agile Project Manager, Delivery Lead, or Technical Program Manager
  • Previous hands-on background in software development or QA (highly preferred)
  • Proven track record managing delivery for SaaS, B2B, or FinTech or Tech products
  • Experience working in fast-paced environments with evolving priorities, preferably startup
  • Strong understanding of Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, Lean) and applying them pragmatically rather than dogmatically
  • Demonstrated success improving delivery predictability and cross-team collaboration
  • Experience working with Jira or similar delivery tools
  • Exceptional communication and stakeholder management, with the ability to communicate clearly, succinctly, and with influence
  • Skilled facilitator capable of running efficient, outcome-focused ceremonies
  • Strong analytical thinking and ability to surface insights from delivery metrics
  • Ability to manage conflict, guide tough conversations, and maintain team morale

Behavioural fit is also important at Sleek, and we will be looking for candidates that have a proven track record of embodying the below attributes in their recent roles:

Ownership: This shows reliability and helps build trust within the team. We move fast and need to know that everyone will see things through to completion and proactively help to get things back on track when challenges arise. Accountability is really important to us.

Humility: There is so much we don't know. Humility allows for open-mindedness to feedback and a willingness to learn from others. It paves the way for collaboration and creates a positive work environment. It is a key ingredient of self awareness and emotional intelligence.

Structured Thinking: Our business is complex with many layers (many services, many countries, many cultures). Regardless of whether you're more analytical or creative in nature, being able to show sound judgement is important to us. It ensures solutions are pragmatic and balance the needs of the organisation, team and customers.

Attention to detail: You'll be managing multiple, complex workstreams from numerous stakeholders. It will be important for you to keep track of everything and notice when information is missing or inconsistent.

Excellent listener and clear communicator: We have a variety of nationalities and for many people, English isn't their first language. For you to excel, you'll need to be present in your calls and make sure you properly receive and thoughtfully send messages to others in the business.

About The Interview Process

The successful candidate will participate in the below interview stages (note that the order might be different to what you read below).

We anticipate the process to last no more than 3 weeks from start to finish. Whether the interviews are held over video call or in person will depend on your location and the role.

Screening call

A :30 minute chat with our Talent Acquisition team to learn more about you, your background, and what you're looking for.

Technical Interview

A :60 minute interview with Delivery Lead and/or Head of Engineering

Final interview

A closing conversation with our CTO, giving you the opportunity to ask any final questions and hear more about our vision and priorities.

Offer + references
