Job Specifications

We are looking for a seasoned Agile Scrum Master to drive execution across data initiatives in a fast-moving investment environment. This role requires prior experience in the buy-side, private equity, or investment banking, along with a solid understanding of financial instruments and how they support investment decision-making.

You will own Agile ceremonies, manage backlogs, and maintain delivery discipline with heavy, hands-on use of Jira. Deep familiarity with Jira is essential, as this role relies on clear tracking, dependency management, and transparent reporting.

This contract will be 4x/week on site.
