Job description
About the Role
Hudl is looking for a Senior Scrum Master to join its team. The role supports the squads building products that help the world's top teams and athletes perform at their best. The successful candidate will act as an experienced Agile leader, helping those squads improve and scale their delivery.
Key Responsibilities
- Coach the system, not just the team, by guiding squads toward high autonomy while focusing on broader organisational design issues such as resolving friction across business units, managing dependencies, and establishing scaling patterns.
- Architect outcomes rather than processes by moving fluidly across frameworks and adapting events to what the team needs to deliver value, designing information flow and decision rhythms rather than acting as a framework fundamentalist.
- Anticipate rather than react by utilising predictive delivery intelligence and cross-team dependency mapping to resolve impediments before they surface and keep coordination moving in the right direction as delivery accelerates.
- Foster psychological safety by building environments where candour is safe, failure is treated as a data point, and conflict is constructive, ensuring teams feel secure enough to take on hard problems and navigate shifting dynamics brought on by AI-assisted development.
- Align and design for visibility by mapping value streams to see where decisions stall, designing cross-BU communication layers, and maintaining the signal through the noise so stakeholders know what has changed and what decisions are needed.
Required Experience & Qualifications
- An experienced Agile practitioner with three or more years as a Scrum Master.
- Experience guiding squads to improved, sustainable results and the ability to scale coaching capacity to influence broader organisational maturity.
- Systems thinking: ability to see beyond the squad level, actively identify and break down siloed organisational designs to reduce friction and eliminate duplicated efforts across Business Units.
- Data-driven and predictive: ability to use qualitative and quantitative signals to establish predictive metrics that forecast delivery risk and guide investment decisions.
- Clear communication: ability to design lightweight operating guardrails and information flows that keep dependencies transparent and align stakeholders at every level without creating overhead that slows teams down.
- Champion of responsible speed: ability to optimise for quality, anticipated dependencies, commitments kept, and team sustainability, ensuring the speed of code generation never outpaces coordination speed.
Preferred Skills
- AI fluency: interest in or experience with AI-assisted development tools and AI-powered agile tools, such as automated bottleneck detection or real-time sentiment and health monitoring.
- A diverse Agile toolbelt: familiarity with multiple frameworks (Kanban, Lean, SAFe, etc.) and knowledge of when and how to blend them for better outcomes.
- Global team experience: comfort collaborating across time zones and cultures, as product teams span the U.S. and Europe.
Workplace
- Time spent collaborating with teammates in-office will be a regular part of how you work.
- Applicants within commuting distance of the London office are currently being considered.
- You will be expected to work more days in-office than remote, with the freedom to coordinate your specific in-office schedule with your team.
Salary
- Compensation decisions are based on an individual's experience, skills and education in line with internal pay equity practices.
- Is eligible for a long-term incentive (LTI) award.
- Any bonuses awarded are based on individual and company performance and paid at Hudl's discretion.
Benefits & Perks
- Flexible vacation time above any required statutory leave, company-wide holidays, remote work options and more.
- Paid sabbatical every five years to unplug and recharge.
- Autonomy and trust from day one, with team support, ownership of work, and agency to try new ideas.
- Professional development resources and opportunities to keep growing.
- Offices designed with employees in mind, plus the tech needed to do your best work whether in the office or remotely.
- Depending on location, medical and retirement benefits.
- Employee Assistance Program and employee resource groups to support mental health.
