About The Position

The Scrum Master is a servant-leader and accountable owner of delivery health for one or more Agile teams. Reporting directly to the CIO, this role is responsible for ensuring disciplined Scrum execution, owning sprint predictability and flow health, and driving continuous improvement through data-driven insights and proactive intervention. The Scrum Master partners closely with Project Managers, Product Owners, Engineering Leads, and cross-functional stakeholders to enable high-performing teams, remove impediments, and ensure delivery commitments are met with consistency and transparency within Integra’s project governance model.

Requirements

Proven experience as a Scrum Master in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment
Strong command of Agile frameworks, delivery metrics, and flow-based thinking
Comfortable owning delivery outcomes while operating within a structured project governance model
Excellent facilitation, coaching, and conflict-resolution skills
Highly data-driven with a relentless focus on outcomes, accountability, and continuous improvement

Responsibilities

Lead all Scrum ceremonies (Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Sprint Reviews, Retrospectives) with discipline, purpose, and clear outcomes
Ensure sprint goals are clearly defined, achievable, and aligned with product and business objectives
Enforce Definition of Ready and Definition of Done standards to protect sprint integrity
Track sprint progress using velocity trends, burndown, throughput, and blocker dashboards to maintain delivery consistency and forecast accuracy
Own sprint delivery health and predictability for assigned teams, including commitment reliability and flow efficiency
Champion team accountability for sprint commitments—reinforcing the principle of “finish what we start”
Proactively intervene when delivery metrics degrade, using coaching, facilitation, and escalation as appropriate
Track, analyze, and escalate recurring story point slippage, rollover, aging work items, and delivery risks
Facilitate root cause analysis when commitments are missed and ensure corrective actions are implemented and measured for impact
Escalate impediments using a tiered escalation model—partnering first with the Project Manager, then IT Leadership/Directors, and engaging the CIO when issues are systemic, unresolved, or require executive intervention
Coach teams on Agile principles, Scrum best practices, and self-organization
Foster psychological safety while maintaining high standards for accountability and delivery discipline
Drive a culture of constructive feedback, continuous improvement, and ownership
Support individual and team growth through mentorship, pairing, and skill development
Own and maintain delivery dashboards that reflect sprint health, velocity stability, rollover trends, and throughput
Ensure delivery metrics are accurate, transparent, and used to drive behavior change—not just reporting
Partner closely with Project Managers to align team execution with project plans, milestones, and dependencies
Support stakeholder communication by providing team-level insights, delivery health data, and risk signals, while Project Managers retain primary accountability for external and cross-functional delivery communications
Promote transparency of work across teams and stakeholders through consistent metrics, visibility, and reporting
