Job
Description:
A Quebec-based
insurance company is seeking a Scrum Master for a technically strong delivery
team, whose main focus is on improving its organizational and process
structure.
- The core of
the role is to lead the team's organization: building and monitoring the
backlog, ensuring alignment, and maintaining the delivery pace. The Scrum
Master collaborates with other Scrum Masters, the RTE (Resource Technology
Engineer), and analysts on continuous improvement projects that extend beyond their
own team. The team is dynamic and close-knit, so soft skills are just as
important as experience.
- The focus
of the role has shifted: the client is no longer primarily looking for the
Scrum mechanics, but rather someone to manage the organization of a technically
strong team that is less structured in terms of processes.
- The
priority is structuring the backlog, tracking progress, aligning it with the project
schedule, and maintaining momentum. The individual works with other Scrum
Masters, the RTE (Resource Technology Engineer), and the DAs (Development
Assistants) on continuous improvement projects that extend beyond their own
team.
- Soft skills
are as important as experience: autonomy, resourcefulness, the ability to work
independently without all the information, and a personality that integrates
well into a dynamic team. An understanding of the IT context is expected to ensure
credible communication with senior technical profiles who lack business domain
expertise.
Requirements
Required:
- Proven
experience as a Scrum Master
- Team
organization management: backlog, tracking, alignment, cadence
- Autonomy
and resourcefulness, ability to work without a fully defined framework
- Mobilization
and integration into a dynamic team
- Cross-team
collaboration with other Scrum Masters, RTEs, and DAs
- Understanding
of the IT context, without a specific business domain
Desired:
- Scrum
Certification (PSM1, CSM, or equivalent)
Asset:
- Experience
in scaled agile (SAFe or equivalent)
- Experience
in insurance or financial services
