We are looking for a hybrid Scrum Master and Project Manager to support the functional and data workstream.

This role focuses on enabling data driven decision making across the enterprise and facilitating secure data exchanges with external partners. You will play a pivotal role in guiding the delivery team, managing the agile processes, and ensuring that all project milestones are met efficiently while aligning with overarching business goals.

This is a one year renewable contract at 35 hours per week, starting by mid April. The position is based in Montreal. The role is primarily remote with an occasional on site presence required at the Montreal office, along with mandatory travel to the Vancouver office twice a year. Please note that all applications must be submitted strictly in English and must include a resume and a formal presentation.

Secure a stable one year renewable contract offering excellent long term potential.

Guide a multidisciplinary team working with cutting edge data technologies.

Enjoy a flexible remote work environment with occasional travel to the Vancouver office.

Responsibilities
Collaborate closely with various stakeholders to clarify project requirements and define specific data use cases.

Support the continuous refinement and strategic prioritization of the product backlog.

Assist in comprehensive process documentation and establish strong project governance standards.

Coordinate and facilitate essential agile ceremonies including daily stand ups and sprint planning sessions.

Track and report on overall project progress while actively identifying and mitigating risks and operational blockers.

Support the delivery of foundational data models and data integration pipelines through effective project management.

Qualifications
Proven experience acting as a Scrum Master and Project Manager within technical or data oriented environments.

Willingness and ability to work remotely while traveling to the Vancouver office twice a year and occasionally visiting the Montreal office.

**Our client operates in Canada. The company takes all reasonable steps to limit the number of positions in Quebec that require knowledge of a language other than French, and only requires it when necessary and its existing bilingual employees are unable to perform these duties.

Based on an assessment conducted by our client, it has been determined that this position requires candidates to be fluent in English (both spoken and written). In particular, this position will require the employee to interact with centralized internal departments (e.g., Operations / HR / Finance / Legal / Contracts / Sales) that support the organization in Canada and that do not speak French.**


Summary
We are seeking a highly organized Scrum Master and Project Manager with strong agile facilitation skills. If you excel at backlog refinement, removing blockers, and are looking for a dynamic one year remote mandate based in Montreal with occasional travel to Vancouver, this opportunity is perfectly suited for you.
