About the Role
HUB International is looking for a Scrum Master to join our Agile Center of Excellence (COE), a team dedicated to scaling Agile practices across HUB’s technology organization. In this role, you’ll serve as a servant-leader and coach for one or more cross-functional delivery squads, helping teams continuously improve how they plan, deliver, and collaborate.
You’ll work alongside fellow Scrum Masters and partner with Product Owners, program managers, and business stakeholders across a portfolio of technology initiatives — contributing not just at the team level, but to the broader Agile maturity of the organization.
What You’ll Do
- Facilitate all Scrum ceremonies — sprint planning, daily standups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives — with energy and purpose
- Remove impediments and escalate blockers proactively, shielding teams from noise so they can focus on delivery
- Coach teams on Agile principles, Scrum practices, and continuous improvement; meet teams where they are and help them grow
- Track and communicate sprint health, velocity, and capacity using Jira; support teams in maintaining clean, well-groomed backlogs
- Collaborate across squads during cross-team ceremonies and dependency reviews
- Partner with Product Owners to support backlog refinement and sprint readiness
- Actively incorporate AI tools into your daily practice — from drafting retrospective summaries and surfacing impediment patterns to generating status updates and streamlining ceremony prep
- Contribute to COE initiatives: Ways of Working documentation, Agile Guild sessions, maturity assessments, and tooling improvements
- Support program-level reporting and status visibility for stakeholders and leadership
What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years of experience as a Scrum Master supporting software delivery teams
- Certified Scrum Master (CSM) or equivalent certification; SAFe certification a plus
- Strong working knowledge of Jira — including board configuration, sprint management, and reporting
- Demonstrated curiosity about AI tools and a track record of finding practical ways to apply them in an Agile delivery context — not just awareness, but actual use
- Ability to coach teams at different Agile maturity levels without being dogmatic about the framework
- Excellent facilitation and communication skills; comfortable engaging with both delivery teams and business stakeholders
- Experience in insurance, financial services, or another regulated industry is a plus
