Sr Scrum Master- MSI

The Baldwin Group

2d • Remote

About The Position

The Sr Scrum Master serves as the embedded Scrum Master for Platform Architecture and Infrastructure, helping both teams protect capacity from poorly timed, competing demands and build stronger two-way communication with dependent teams. The role supports cross-team prioritization, dependency visibility, proactive communication about roadmaps and downstream impacts, and ceremony-level coaching tailored to each team’s needs and maturity.

The position partners with Platform Architecture leadership to reduce competing top-down requests so the team can focus on redesigning its release-approval process. The Scrum Master does not own that approval process. The role reports directly to the Head of Agile or Head of AI Enabled Delivery, with a dotted line to the other, and has no direct reports. It also acts as a mentor and lead to other Scrum Masters as capacity allows, after the core Platform Architecture and Infrastructure work is stable.

The role ensures delivery routines align with applicable security, risk, and governance requirements across Baldwin partner organizations and supports accurate delivery documentation and audit or accreditation readiness where required. Success is measured by protected Platform Architecture capacity, an adopted prioritization cadence, a self-sustaining roadmap and impact forum, and visible execution of the strategic Agile plan.

Requirements

• Proven experience as an embedded Scrum Master or Agile Coach supporting highly technical, cross-cutting engineering or infrastructure teams.
• Strong negotiation and stakeholder-alignment skills, including the ability to balance competing priorities and drive alignment across business units and portfolios.
• Working knowledge of Azure DevOps (ADO).
• Experience with cross-portfolio dependency mapping, OKRs, and delivery/quality metrics reporting.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with DevSecOps, multi-cloud, or CI/CD delivery environments.
• Agile certification such as CSM, PSM, SAFe SSM/Advanced SM, or equivalent is preferred.

Responsibilities

• Push back on stakeholders, convene cross-team prioritization sessions, protect Platform Architecture and Infrastructure capacity from competing top-down requests, and maintain cross-portfolio dependency maps so trade-offs are visible.
• Coach Platform Architecture and Infrastructure to communicate their work, roadmaps, and potential downstream impacts proactively to dependent scrum and product teams.
• Facilitate a recurring cross-team forum until proactive communication becomes routine, and use the forum to support prioritization decisions.
• Partner with Platform Architecture leadership to reduce competing top-down requests and free capacity for the team to redesign its release-approval process; the role does not own that process.
• Run and coach ceremonies for Platform Architecture and Infrastructure, tailoring facilitation and training to each team’s needs and maturity.
• Report team health, blockers, and adherence to the strategic plan directly to the Heads of Agile.
• Ensure delivery routines align with applicable security, risk, and governance requirements across Baldwin partner organizations; support delivery documentation and audit or accreditation readiness where required.
• As capacity allows, provide informal lead guidance and tailored coaching to Scrum Masters on other teams, supporting consistent execution of the organization’s Agile strategy.
