Job Overview

Role Summary

An experienced Scrum Master/Agile Coach is needed for a consulting assignment within a large organisation undergoing a transformation to improve and coordinate its agile product development. The assignment focuses on supporting the consolidation of four previously separate products and backlogs into one unified product with a clearly prioritised common backlog.

You will coach and support 3–4 development teams throughout this transition, helping establish shared ways of working, stronger cross-team collaboration, and effective delivery processes. The role requires a confident agile leader who can drive change pragmatically, create engagement, and enable teams and stakeholders to work toward common product goals.

Key Responsibilities

• Coach and facilitate 3–4 agile development teams in their day-to-day delivery and continuous improvement work.
• Support the transition from separate products and backlogs to a unified product and prioritised common backlog.
• Develop, implement, and continuously improve shared agile processes and ways of working across teams.
• Facilitate Scrum ceremonies and ensure they provide clear value for teams and stakeholders.
• Identify, visualise, and help manage dependencies between teams, product areas, and deliveries.
• Strengthen collaboration and alignment among development teams working toward the same product objectives.
• Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Product Owners, and business stakeholders to monitor delivery flow and prioritisation.
• Drive data-informed improvement initiatives focused on capacity, delivery predictability, and operational efficiency.
• Use flow-based metrics, including Throughput, Work in Progress (WIP), Lead Time, and Cycle Time, to support improvement efforts.

Technical Stack & Requirements

• Deep practical knowledge of Scrum, Kanban, and agile ways of working.
• Hands-on experience using Jira for backlog management, sprint planning, and capacity planning.
• Experience with agile transformation and organisational change management.
• Knowledge of scaled agile frameworks such as SAFe, LeSS, or Nexus is advantageous.
• Experience facilitating work across multiple teams delivering toward a shared product and common backlog.
• Ability to use delivery-flow data and relevant metrics to identify bottlenecks and drive measurable improvements.

Qualifications & Experience

The ideal consultant has at least 8 years of experience as a Scrum Master in large organisations. You have documented experience coaching and facilitating 3–4 agile teams in parallel, coordinating teams working toward a shared product or backlog, and leading agile transformation initiatives. Experience consolidating multiple backlogs into one common backlog is desirable. You are structured, pragmatic, and solution-oriented, with the ability to create engagement and effective collaboration across teams and stakeholders.

Professional fluency in both Swedish and English, written and spoken, is required.
