We are partnering with a leading international insurance organization that is investing heavily in digital innovation and modernization of its distribution platforms.
As part of a newly formed agile delivery team, they are looking for a Scrum Master who enjoys building strong teams, guiding Agile adoption, and helping organizations move toward a more mature and effective delivery environment.
This is a greenfield initiative, meaning the right person will play an important role not only in running Scrum processes, but also in shaping the team culture and Agile practices from the ground up.

The Role
You will act as the Scrum Master for a newly established delivery team, supporting a major digital initiative focused on improving one of the company’s key distribution channels.
Beyond facilitating Scrum ceremonies, the role requires someone who enjoys connecting people, enabling collaboration, and helping teams work effectively in an Agile environment that is still evolving in maturity.
This role suits someone who is passionate about true Scrum practices, rather than combining Scrum with traditional project management responsibilities.

⸻
What We’re Looking For
* 7-10 years of experience within Agile delivery environments
* Proven experience working specifically as a Scrum Master (not primarily as a Project Manager)
* Strong understanding of Scrum frameworks and Agile principles
* Experience facilitating teams through delivery challenges and Agile transformation
* Comfortable working in environments where Agile maturity is still evolving
* Strong people skills – someone who can connect with teams, educate stakeholders, and build trust
* Experience working with distributed or remote delivery teams
* Hands-on experience with Jira and Agile tracking tools
⸻
Preferred Qualifications
* Scrum certifications such as PSM, CSM, or equivalent
* Experience working in financial services or insurance environments
