Job Description
We are seeking an experienced Scrum Master to lead a QA‑centric, multi‑phase programme spanning 12+ months, with expanding scope into software engineering and data engineering. You will guide a growing delivery team, from an initial 5 members to approximately 15, across three workstreams focused on quality engineering, automation, and DevOps‑driven workflows.
This role begins at 50% allocation for the first six months expected to increase to full-time thereafter.
The project environment is fast‑paced and collaborative, based within the financial services/banking sector in the UK. The role is home‑office–based with occasional travel.
What You'll Do
• Lead the execution of a large-scale QA and automation programme, ensuring delivery of all contractual commitments across multiple workstreams.
• Manage, refine, and prioritise Agile backlogs in partnership with Customer PMs, Product Owners, and Service Owners.
• Drive value delivery by tracking and communicating key programme benefits including:
• Reduction in QA cycle time
• Migration from manual to automated testing
• Improvements in test data availability, quality, and coverage
• Facilitate daily collaboration across a complex matrix organisation, including:
• IT leadership and business application leaders (primarily Salesforce‑driven teams)
• Internal testing teams and third‑party manual testers
• Test automation vendors supporting tooling, training, and adoption
• Management, steering groups, and mixed delivery teams of Test Architects, Managers, Data Engineers, Software Engineers, and Business Analysts
• Champion Agile ways of working, ensuring alignment, transparency, and continuous improvement across all delivery teams.
• Support scaling of workstreams as the programme evolves, ensuring momentum and delivery quality.
Requirements:
What You Bring
• 5+ years of experience operating as a Scrum Master or Agile Delivery Lead in complex, multi‑team environments.
• Proven success managing multiple concurrent workstreams and maintaining high‑quality backlogs.
• Demonstrated ability to work closely with business users and technical teams across various disciplines.
• Strong familiarity with QA processes, automated testing, DevOps workflows, and Agile delivery methodologies.
• Excellent communication, facilitation, and stakeholder‑management skills, particularly within matrixed and regulated environments.
• Ability to operate independently in a remote-first setting with periodic travel to a UK‐based client site.
What Makes You Stand Out
• Experience in financial services, banking, or regulated technology environments.
• Background in QA transformation programmes, test automation adoption, or test data engineering.
• Prior work with Salesforce‑centric teams or complex enterprise business applications.
• Hands‑on experience supporting multidisciplinary engineering teams (Software, Data, QA, Architecture).
• Familiarity with vendor‑supported automation tooling and change‑management practices related to tool rollout and adoption.
