Full description
We are looking for an experienced Technical Scrum Master with a strong airline background to lead agile delivery across our Booking, Post-Booking, and check-in platforms. You will work with cross-functional engineering teams to deliver customer-facing products such as reservations, ancillaries, servicing, and frequent flyer programs.
Key Responsibilities
- Facilitate all Scrum ceremonies: sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and backlog refinement.
- Coach teams and stakeholders on Agile and Scrum practices, and promote continuous improvement.
- Partner with Product Owners to keep a well-groomed, prioritized backlog aligned to business goals.
- Remove impediments and manage cross-team dependencies, especially across PSS, GDS, and check-in integrations.
- Track and report delivery metrics (velocity, burn-down, cycle time, predictability) to leadership.
- Engage with technical discussions on architecture, APIs, and integrations to support sound delivery decisions.
- Coordinate release planning, risk management, and production readiness with engineering, QA, and DevOps.
- Support scaled agile ceremonies (PI Planning, Scrum of Scrums) where applicable.
