Scrum Master, Individual Savings and Retirement

Mandate Overview:

The DA is primarily looking for a team leader who can motivate and engage people and has a solid grasp of agile concepts. This role isn’t about just theoretically applying the Scrum framework: the person needs to be able to think outside the box, be creative and flexible, and integrate well with existing teams and processes. They coordinate the work of several squads, manage dependencies, and keep the delivery pace steady. Understanding the IT context helps make interactions with technical teams more credible; knowledge of the business domain is a plus, but not essential. Selection is based 70% on interpersonal skills and 30% on technical know-how, a breakdown discussed in meetings and approved by the DA.

Desired candidate: a hands-on Scrum Master, known for their ability to engage teams rather than strictly following the framework. They’ve already coordinated multiple teams in parallel in an IT environment and adapt well to existing processes. A Scrum certification or some time in insurance sets him apart, without being required.

Key Requirements:

• Experience as a Scrum Master
  
• Mastery of Agile concepts
  
• Demonstrated ability to mobilize and motivate teams
  
• Coordination of multiple teams or parallel projects
  
• Understanding of the IT context
