Job Description:

We are seeking an experienced Scrum Master to support agile delivery of SAP S/4 HANA/SuccessFactors in a hybrid scaled Agile environment at a leading utility company. This is a high-impact role within a multi-year digital transformation program aiming to modernize core ERP systems for finance, supply chain, asset management, Human Resources, Enterprise Health and Safety.

• Facilitate all standard Scrum ceremonies (Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Planning, Reviews, Retrospectives).
• Foster a culture of continuous improvement and empirical delivery.

Hybrid Agile Governance

• Navigate the tension between Agile team delivery and traditional PMO structures (stage gates, deliverables, RAID logs).
• Support integration with waterfall-driven workstreams (e.g., data migration, testing, cutover).
• Ensure team alignment to program increments and release plans in accordance with hybrid/agile governance.

Planning & Coordination

• Collaborate with Product Owners, Business Analysts, System Integrator Partners and SAP consultants to maintain a clear and prioritized backlog.
• Facilitate story refinement and sizing sessions (e.g., user stories, technical tasks, SAP-specific enhancements).
• Coordinate dependencies, blockers, and risks across other SAP streams and legacy systems.

Agile Scaling Support

• Participate in Agile ceremonies at scale (e.g., PI Planning, Scrum of Scrums, System Demos) if using SAFe or similar framework.
• Interface with Release Train Engineers (RTEs), Solution Architects, and other Scrum Masters to synchronize team deliveries.
• Contribute to Agile metrics and reporting dashboards (velocity, burndown, team health).

Tools & Technology

• Use Jira (or similar) to manage team backlogs and progress.
• Familiarity with SAP Activate methodology and integration points with Agile planning.
• Coordinate with SAP functional leads (e.g., FI/CO, MM, PM, SD) and technical leads (e.g., Basis, ABAP, PI/PO).
