"Are you a passionate and experienced Scrum Master/ Agile Coach looking to make a significant impact working within a collaborative and innovative team?
We are looking for Agile Coaches and experienced Scrum Masters to take on Squad Lead roles to drive improvements within our Tribe, support our Product Owners and ensure we can continue to deliver high quality solutions to the business at pace.
It’s a very exciting time to join Admiral, as we continue to grow our digital delivery capabilities and experiences for our customers.
About you
We are looking for someone enthusiastic with strong communication skills and a desire to drive things forward. You have a burning desire to be the best and can inspire that passion in others around you. You do not rely upon directive management styles; you are able to think creatively around a brief and are willing to challenge when necessary. You should have experience leading a team in regular, incremental deployments and be confident supporting a Product Owner and Development Team. You will be proficient in methods to increase velocity and be confident in analysing metrics and suggesting improvements to benefit the team.
We work in an Agile framework in a complex environment. We seek someone who can work independently, has good teamworking skills, and can deliver to agreed timelines in a fast-paced and changing environment.
Requirements for the role:
- Must be able to establish a mutually respectful dynamic with the team, and be willing to get stuck in to get the job done (Servant Leader)
- Must be able to communicate well with teams, organisation-wide (Communicative and social)
- Must be able to lead and demonstrate value-add principles to a team (Facilitative)
- Must be vigilant for issues as they arise, and elevate them to management with transparency (Situationally Aware)
- Must be able to ensure Agile/Scrum concepts and principles are adhered to, acknowledged as a voice of reason and authority, unafraid to make tough calls (Assertive)
- Must be focused on encouraging an improvement culture within the team. Improvement of oneself and the team capabilities (Continual improvement)
- Must encourage diversity of views, promote health conflict, be able to facilitate discussion, focus on solving through a variety of approaches (Conflict resolution)
- Must be able to lead a team to self-organisation
- Understand the fundamentals of software development processes and procedures
- Understand the value of commitments to delivery made by a development team
- Understand incremental delivery and the value of metrics to increase velocity.
Interview Process
There will be a 1 stage, 60 minute interview via MS Teams.
Location
For Hybrid workers (within a 50-mile radius of our Cardiff HQ) there is an expectation to work from the office twice a month. For remote workers (outside of a 50-mile radius of our Cardiff HQ) there is an expectation to attend the office a handful of times a year when required (i.e big meetings, workshops etc).
Salary, Benefits, and Work-Life Balance
We do not have a set salary for this position, as it will be dependent on the successful candidate’s experience. We are happy to see CVs from all candidates who meet the requirements and will be happy to discuss the remuneration package.
At Admiral, we are proud to be a diverse business where we put our people and customers first. We have great benefits to ensure employees have a great work-life balance; it's one of the reasons we’re consistently voted one of the Sunday Times Best Big Companies to work for in the UK. We want you to have an element of freedom to define a working lifestyle that supports this, so accommodate flexible hours wherever possible.
All colleagues will receive 33 days holiday (including banks holidays) when they join us, and this will increase with length of service, up to a maximum of 38 days (including banks holidays). You also have the option to buy or sell up to five days of annual leave in addition to your allocation.
You can also view some of our other key benefits here.
Please note - we may close this vacancy early if we receive lots of applications or business priorities change.
