Senior Scrum Master / Project Manager

Our client is an ASX-listed national services provider supporting critical infrastructure delivering technology and operational services across essential industries. They are seeking an experienced Senior Scrum Master (Agile Project Manager) to help reset and drive delivery on a major SaaS application implementation and integration program. This is a high visibility role in a pressured environment, best suited to someone who is resilient, stays calm, works hard, and can bring structure and momentum on a complex remediation program.

ROLE DETAILS:
Contract: 12 months initial (extensions likely)
Location: Melbourne CBD (hybrid 3 days onsite / 2 WFH)
Daily Rate: $900 - $1100
**Eligibility: Australian Citizen (mandatory)**

ABOUT THE ROLE:

You'll be joining a program to implement a new SaaS/COTS application across multiple divisions needing to be re-baselined and calibrated. You'll work closely with the executive (CIO and GM level engagement) and lead multiple delivery teams (2-3+) to rebuild cadence, remove blockers, and drive outcomes across multiple workstreams. The environment requires a pragmatic approach to methodology and will require an adaptable approach to get delivery back on track, whilst keeping stakeholders informed with clear reporting and visibility. A background in waterfall project management (Prince2, PMBOK) and Agile (SCRUM, SAFe) would be ideal to enable you to pivot approaches to deliver. In the longer-term, the role will help uplift Agile capability in the team.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Stabilise delivery and drive progress across a complex, re-baselined program
• Facilitate delivery across multiple streams and squads (including vendor-managed resources)
• Lead core ceremonies and ways of working where they add value (stand-ups, planning, reviews, retros)
• Actively remove blockers, manage dependencies, and drive action on risks/issues
• Maintain clear, consistent reporting and transparency on progress, velocity, risks and delivery outcomes
• Partner with stakeholders to keep priorities clear, approvals moving, and teams focused on delivery
• Support delivery of the program (integration/middleware exposure helpful)

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

• Strong experience as a Release Train Engineer / Scrum Master / Agile Project Manager / Delivery Lead on large, complex ICT programs, ideally in regulated or government-facing environments
• Pragmatic agile delivery capability (Scrum/Kanban) and waterfall (Prince2, PMBOK) - comfortable adapting for hybrid delivery and approach to deliver outcomes
• Demonstrated resilience: able to operate under pressure, handle executive sponsor scrutiny (CIO and MD level), and keep projects moving without losing composure
• Strong stakeholder management and communication - can provide clear updates to senior stakeholders and keep delivery accountable
• Experience with COTS/SaaS application-based project implementation and integration
• Experience with JIRA, Confluence, MS Project and project reporting
