Job Summary
Opportunity
gross/year (placement depends on relevant experience and skills) Hybrid (2 days on-site per week) Permanent full-time
About the role
Youll keep one or more defence software Squads moving running ceremonies clearing blockers and turning Agile principles into daily practice with senior Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches alongside you as you find your footing. This is a permanent role in a Spotify-inspired organisation (Squads Chapters Tribes) and the mentoring structure is a deliberate design feature not a vague promise.
Your Mission
What youll do
- Facilitate Scrum ceremonies Sprint Planning Daily Stand-ups Reviews Retrospectives and Backlog Refinement so your Squad leaves each session with clarity and a workable plan.
- Identify and remove impediments that slow delivery escalating where needed and working with stakeholders to keep momentum.
- Partner with Market Product Managers on backlog refinement sprint readiness and prioritisation so the Squad is always working on the right things.
- Collaborate with Tech Writers to make sure documentation is planned and aligned with sprint goals not bolted on afterwards.
- Monitor team health and track Agile metrics using what you learn to support continuous improvement in ways of working.
- Coordinate with other Scrum Masters Chapters and stakeholders to surface and manage cross-Squad dependencies before they become blockers.
What success looks like
Over time your Squads run ceremonies that feel purposeful rather than routine: the team arrives prepared leaves aligned and the retrospective actually changes something. Impediments get named early and resolved rather than accumulating. You start spotting dependency risks before they surface as problems and your collaboration with Market Product Managers and Tech Writers becomes a natural part of the Squad rhythm rather than a coordination overhead.
What you bring
- Up to two years of experience in an Agile environment as a Scrum Master Project Coordinator Business Analyst QA or a comparable role where you worked alongside or within Agile ceremonies.
- Working knowledge of Scrum and Agile principles conceptual fluency you can apply in a real Squad not necessarily a certification.
- Facilitation and communication skills strong enough to keep a room moving and surface issues without creating friction.
- Organisational discipline to track dependencies and keep multiple moving parts visible.
- Ability to build working relationships across multidisciplinary teams including people in technical product and writing roles.
- Professional working proficiency in English.
- Eligibility to obtain and maintain the required national or NATO security clearance for this role. ILIAS Solutions supports candidates through the clearance process and is glad to explain what is involved before you apply.
If you meet most of the above we encourage you to apply. The eligibility requirement for the required security authorisation is not flexible.
Nice to have
- PSM I or CSM certification if you already hold one great; if not that is fine.
- Hands-on experience in a Spotify-inspired organisation with Squads Chapters and Tribes.
- Exposure to Agile metrics and structured retrospective or improvement practices.
- Familiarity with tools like Jira or comparable Agile board software.
