• Providing transparency across delivery through metrics, insights, and clear communication

What we’re looking for:

• Strong background as a Scrum Master, Agile Lead, or Agile Coach
• Experience operating in complex, fast-paced environments (financial services, payments, or regulated industries preferred)
• Ability to balance hands-on delivery with coaching and strategic influence
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills and confidence working across technical and non-technical teams
• Passion for Agile, team performance, and driving meaningful change
