Hybrid
Description
Hybrid requirements: This role has flexible working patterns.
We run a small but perfectly formed delivery team at Ecotricity. We have a vacancy for a Scrum Master to pair up with one of our delivery teams and support the optimisation of one of our platforms.
The success of our entire business relies on digital channels and a self-service first model. The energy industry is complex though, and many systems and services must be integrated to create journeys that support our customers’ needs. We’re building these journeys that also allow our contact centre agents to fully support our customers and plug the gaps where self-service isn’t possible.
Responsibilities
Facilitate the build and continuous delivery of exceptional digital services that enhance the performance of our platforms.
Guide and coach the team on Agile/Scrum practices and ensure adherence to the Scrum framework.
Organize and facilitate Agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives.
Collaborate with Product Owners to manage the product backlog and ensure that the team is working on the highest priority tasks.
Remove impediments and blockers that may hinder the team’s progress.
Foster a culture of continuous improvement within the team through regular feedback and retrospectives.
Monitor and report on team performance, using metrics such as velocity and burndown charts.
Support the team in achieving a sustainable pace of work and maintaining a high level of quality.
