About the role

 

Location Designation: Fully Remote 

 

 

Role Overview:

We are seeking a Scrum Master to support the Workday Nexus / Workday Wellness team within the Group Analytics Platform (GAP) Agile Release Train. This role supports a high‑visibility, integration‑heavy platform connecting Workday with enterprise systems, external gateways, and data platforms. The ideal candidate is a delivery‑focused servant leader who goes beyond ceremony facilitation to actively manage dependencies, remove impediments, and drive disciplined execution across application, data, environment, and platform teams.

 

What You’ll Do:

Agile & SAFe® Execution

  • Facilitate Scrum ceremonies (Sprint Planning, Daily Stand‑ups, Reviews, Retrospectives) with focus on outcomes
  • Ensure consistent application of Agile and SAFe® practices
  • Coach teams on self‑organization, accountability, and continuous improvement

 

Program Increment (PI) & Delivery Management

  • Prepare team for PI Planning with clear backlog readiness and dependencies
  • Support PI breakout sessions and ensure realistic sprint/PI commitments
  • Track sprint and PI progress; surface risks early and drive corrective actions

 

Dependency & Impediment Management

  • Proactively identify and manage dependencies across:
    • External Partner (Workday)
    • Application and API teams
    • Data and database teams
    • Environment, DevOps, security, and external gateway teams
  • Remove blockers and escalate impediments through ART governance as needed
  • Shield the team from unplanned work and late scope changes

 

Integration‑Focused Delivery (Workday Wellness Specific)

  • Support delivery of integration‑heavy capabilities, including:
    • Inbound and outbound APIs
    • External gateway integrations
    • Notifications, subscriptions, and profile services
  • Ensure sprint commitments account for external dependencies and environment readiness
  • Coordinate execution across onshore/offshore teams and vendors

 

Metrics, Transparency & Governance

  • Track and report Agile metrics (velocity, predictability, quality trends) using JIRA
  • Ensure sprint commitments are measurable and delivery is transparent
  • Partner with Product Owner and RTE on delivery visibility and governance

 

Stakeholder Communication & Team Enablement

  • Act as a key delivery contact for Product Owners, leadership, and partner teams
  • Communicate risks, status, and blockers clearly and professionally
  • Support onboarding, ways‑of‑working alignment, and continuous improvement initiatives

 

What You’ll Bring:

  • 7+ years of Agile delivery experience; 3+ years as a Scrum Master
  • Hands‑on experience in a SAFe® Agile Release Train
  • Proven ability to manage cross‑team and external dependencies
  • Strong facilitation, communication, and conflict‑resolution skills
  • Experience with JIRA and Confluence

 

Preferred Qualifications

  • SAFe® Scrum Master (SSM) or SAFe® Agilist certification
  • Experience with integration‑heavy platforms (APIs, external systems, data pipelines)
  • Exposure to Workday integrations, HR/Benefits platforms, or enterprise gateways
  • Experience working with distributed/onshore‑offshore teams
