Job
The Scrum Master / Delivery Manager will enable consistent ways of working across hybrid agile delivery (Scrum/Kanban) and any dependent waterfall processes, supporting Product Owners, technical leads, architects, cyber security and service management stakeholders to deliver outcomes to time, quality and compliance.
Responsibilities
* Lead and facilitate agile ceremonies (daily stand-ups, sprint planning, backlog refinement, reviews and retrospectives) and ensure actions are completed.
* Establish delivery cadence, working agreements, Definition of Ready/Done, and lightweight governance suitable for a regulated government environment.
* Partner with Product Owners, technical leads and architects to shape and maintain prioritised backlogs for Microsoft 365 and related platform work (e.g., Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange, Endpoint Manager, Purview, Security Centre, licensing).
* Plan and track delivery across sprints/releases, including milestones, dependencies, critical path, risks, issues and impediments; proactively remove blockers.
* Coordinate delivery across internal teams and external suppliers, ensuring clear outcomes, responsibilities, and integration points.
* Drive delivery reporting and transparency (burn-up/burn-down, throughput, forecasts, RAID logs, status reports) for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
* Support transition activities including service readiness, operational handover, documentation completion (HLD/LLD, runbooks/SOPs, as-built), and change/release planning.
* Ensure delivery aligns with cyber security, compliance, and assurance requirements, escalating where delivery risk impacts security posture.
* Coach team members and stakeholders on agile delivery practices and continuous improvement in a hybrid delivery environment.
* Other tasking as required by the Program.
Technical skills
* Experience supporting ICT service transition activities (service readiness, cutover planning, operational handover) in line with ITSM practices.
* Experience working in or alongside cyber security and assurance processes within Australian Government environments.
* Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code and automation delivery approaches to better plan and sequence technical work.
* Relevant certifications (e.g., Scrum Master certification, SAFe, PRINCE2 Agile, MSP, or equivalent).
