    Key Responsibilities:

    • 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).

    • 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
