This is an excellent opportunity to lead agile delivery across the development of scalable SaaS solutions used by SMEs, banks, and global audit firms.

THE COMPANY

This FinTech SaaS company is a leader in automating complex accounting functions and audit-ready financial systems. It is a cloud-based platform delivers compliance automation and financial reporting software for professional services firms, supporting end-to-end workflows for accountants and auditors — from working papers to financial statements and regulatory reporting.

With a client base of over 15,000 firms across 22 countries, the company builds scalable solutions used by SMEs, banks, and global audit firms.

THE ROLE

As the Scrum Master, you will be responsible for drive delivery across multiple development squads working on a cloud-based SaaS platform. You will lead all agile ceremonies — including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives — and ensure that agile principles are applied consistently to support reliable and predictable delivery.

You’ll work closely with developers, product managers, and UX designers to align on priorities, manage dependencies, and support decision-making throughout the development cycle. Your technical background will enable you to understand the nature of the work being delivered — whether it’s backend architecture, UI implementation, or third-party integration — and guide teams in applying agile practices that reflect the complexity and context of the tasks at hand.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as the Scrum Master across one or more cross-functional teams
• Facilitate all key agile ceremonies (sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews, retrospectives)
• Coach teams on agile principles and drive continuous improvement
• Partner with product owners to maintain a healthy, prioritised backlog
• Proactively identify and remove delivery blockers and inefficiencies
• Track sprint progress, manage dependencies, and ensure timely delivery

THE REQUIREMENT

Minimum 4 years’ experience as a Scrum Master, ideally in SaaS or product development teams

Background in software development (e.g. former developer, QA engineer, or technical business analyst)

Ability to interpret technical work and understand code-level or architectural changes

Strong facilitation and planning skills across all agile ceremonies

Proven ability to track and manage delivery timelines, dependencies, and team velocity

Proficiency with agile collaboration tools such as Jira and Confluence
