This is a ‘leading with influence' role and your knowledge and guidance will be an important contributor to our organisation's Agile journey.
As well as being a Scrum Master / Agile Facilitator, you will be the primary contributor in developing and delivering to our internal Agile training. You will have experience in, or a strong desire to develop experience in, delivering and fronting in-person, online and hybrid Agile training sessions for people and teams.

**Your key responsibilities will include**:

- Coaching and educating the team and others in the project around Agile ways of working, practices and principles.
