A highly capable Business Analyst/Scrum Master is sought to join a fast-paced software delivery team in a true hybrid role that combines business analysis, stakeholder engagement, and agile delivery facilitation. This role is suited to someone who can confidently translate complex business requirements into clear, actionable delivery scope while also facilitating Scrum ceremonies, driving team momentum, and supporting continuous improvement. Sitting at the intersection of business needs and agile execution, the position plays a key role in aligning stakeholders, priorities, and technical delivery outcomes. The ideal candidate brings strong analytical ability, excellent communication skills, and a proactive servant-leadership mindset. This is not a traditional split-role position — it requires someone who sees business analysis and agile delivery as naturally connected responsibilities within a single delivery function.
