Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Scrum Master to support agile delivery of SAP S/4HANA 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).
  
  

Required Qualifications

• 5 years experience as a Scrum Master in enterprise-scale Agile delivery.
• Experience with SAP S/4HANA implementation or major ERP platforms (SAP ECC, Oracle, Workday, etc.).
• Strong understanding of Agile (Scrum, Kanban) and hybrid delivery models in a structured environment.
• Familiarity with SAP Activate methodology and traditional SAP project phases.
• Experience in scaled Agile frameworks (e.g., SAFe) and managing cross-team dependencies.
• Excellent facilitation, coaching, and conflict resolution skills.
• Must be proficient in Jira and proficient in other tools such as Confluence, MS Project, or equivalents
