Summary:

Responsibilities:

  • Scrum Mastery & Agile Facilitation:
    • Act as a servant leader for 1–2 cross-functional Agile teams (SAP functional, technical, and business).
    • Facilitate all standard Scrum ceremonies (Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Planning, Reviews, Retrospectives).
    • Foster a culture of continuous improvement and empirical delivery.

  • Planning & Coordination:
    • Collaborate with Product Owners, Business Analysts, System Integrator Partners and SAP consultants to maintain a clear and prioritized backlog.

    • 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).

Requirements:

  • Minimum 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.
  • Proficient in Jira and other tools such as Confluence, MS Project, or equivalents.
