Are you an experienced Agile leader who thrives on empowering teams, removing roadblocks, and driving meaningful change? As a Senior Scrum Master, youll go beyond facilitating ceremoniesyoull influence Agile practices across teams, mentor others, and help shape a culture of continuous improvement. This role is ideal for someone ready to lead with independence, broaden their impact, and help teams deliver customer value with greater focus, flow, and confidence.

The Senior Scrum Master builds upon the foundational Scrum Master role by operating with greater independence, broader scope, and deeper influence across teams. While continuing to empower Scrum teams to deliver customer value efficiently and effectively, this role also contributes to improving Agile practices across the department.

Senior Scrum Master practitioners serve as experienced Agile leaders who adapt frameworks to team @context, resolve complex impediments, and guide teams toward higher levels of autonomy and delivery maturity. They act as trusted partners to Product Owners and Software Engineering Managers, helping teams interpret delivery data, improve collaboration, and continuously evolve their ways of working.

This role expands beyond individual team facilitation to include mentorship, Agile training, cross-team coordination, and contribution to the Scrum Master practice at Purple Wave.

Responsibilities:

Advanced Agile Coaching

Coach teams beyond basic Scrum mechanics, helping them apply

Agile principles to real delivery challenges.

Adapt and blend Agile frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban, and Lean

based on team maturity and workflow needs.

Guide teams toward increased autonomy, ownership, and

self-organization.

Strategic Facilitation
Facilitate Scrum events with intentional design, adapting

formats to encourage deeper discussion and meaningful outcomes.

Help teams move beyond surface-level process issues to identify

root causes and systemic improvements.

Facilitate cross-team ceremonies or retrospectives when

initiatives span multiple teams.

Backlog & Delivery Partnership
Proactively partner with Product Owners and Software Engineering

Managers to improve backlog health and delivery predictability.

Surface risks related to dependencies, unclear requirements, or

workflow inefficiencies.

Help teams maintain sustainable delivery pace while balancing

business priorities.

Complex Impediment Resolution
Resolve cross-team or systemic impediments independently

whenever possible.

Coordinate with stakeholders and leadership to address blockers

affecting multiple teams or initiatives.

Escalate strategically when broader organizational support is

required.

Identify recurring impediment patterns and propose systemic

improvements to prevent future blockers.

Data-Driven Team Improvement
Analyze team metrics such as cycle time, throughput, velocity

trends, and delivery predictability.

Interpret metrics to guide improvement discussions rather than

simply reporting data.

Coach teams to think in outcomes rather than outputs, and

support the Product Owner in connecting the team\'s work to customer and business value.

Mentorship & Practice Leadership
Mentor Scrum Master I practitioners and share facilitation

techniques, coaching approaches, and improvement practices.

Contribute to the Scrum Master community of practice through

knowledge sharing and collaboration.

Support the evolution of Agile practices, tooling, and

facilitation approaches used across the department.

Organizational Agile Contribution
Partner with the Agile Coach and engineering leadership to help

mature Agile practices across Purple Wave.

Lead or contribute to cross-team improvement initiatives,

workshops, or retrospectives.

Serve as a trusted voice in discussions about delivery

processes, team health, and Agile culture.
