Highspring is seeking an experienced Scrum Master to support a large-scale insurance product transformation initiative. This engagement focuses on modernizing and enhancing an existing coverage product by aligning it with new standards, updating coverage content, improving the user experience, implementing custom business rules, and integrating optional coverage offerings.

• Support delivery activities through occasional project coordination, business analysis, or functional analysis contributions when required.
• Foster strong collaboration between business and IT teams.
• Track and communicate progress, risks, and dependencies in a fast-paced delivery environment.
• Help ensure the team remains focused on meeting project objectives and timelines.

What You Bring to the Table

• Proven experience serving as a Scrum Master within Agile delivery environments.
• Demonstrated ability to facilitate collaboration across cross-functional teams.
• Strong communication, stakeholder management, and facilitation skills.
• Solid understanding of business analysis and functional analysis principles.
• Ability to adapt quickly and contribute beyond traditional Scrum Master responsibilities.
• Strong organizational, problem-solving, and conflict-resolution skills.
• Experience working in complex IT project environments.

Our Stack

While this role is not hands-on technical development, the project includes:

• Modern web and digital customer experiences.
• Existing API and microservices-based architecture.
• Agile product delivery practices.
• Cross-functional business and technology teams.

Why Join Highspring?
