Scrum Master - Contract

Scrum Master - Contract - Medical Devices - Glasgow Area, Scotland (Hybrid) - Up to £75 per hour Inside IR35 | 12 month Initial Contract

KO2 Embedded Recruitment Solutions is recruiting a Contract Scrum Master for a global medical device business based in the Glasgow area. This is an urgent, high-priority requirement with interviews available quickly and a fast start on offer.

The Company

Our client develops software for medical devices that directly impact patient outcomes. Their software and test team has recently gone through a major scale-up - roughly doubling in size, and sitting within a wider delivery ecosystem that includes an external managed service provider. With that growth comes the need for a dedicated, full-time Scrum Master to structure the team, embed strong Agile ways of working and keep delivery flowing.

The Role

This is a hands-on, full-time Scrum Master position - not a part-time add-on to a development role. You will work across multiple newly formed Scrum teams, and your focus will be process and people rather than project leadership or technical direction, both of which are already in place.

Day to day you will:

• Lead all Scrum ceremonies - sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint demos, and retrospectives - ensuring they are productive and timeboxed
• Coach teams in self-management, cross-functionality, conflict resolution, and process optimisation
• Help structure and stabilise a recently scaled team, adapting Agile best practice to suit how the team actually works
• Track and report Agile metrics such as velocity and burn-down charts to improve predictability, quality, and performance
• Proactively identify and remove impediments, collaborating with internal and external stakeholders
• Support compliant delivery within an established medical device quality process, proposing improvements to processes and templates along the way

About You

• 3+ years experience as a Scrum Master or Agile Lead within a software engineering environment
• A proven track record of navigating and stabilising a recently scaled or growing development team
• A coaching-led, collaborative style - you assess how a team works before suggesting improvements, and you bring the team with you
• Experience in medical devices (ISO 13485, IEC 62304) or another heavily regulated, compliance-driven industry is a strong plus
• Exposure to embedded software development environments is beneficial but not essential
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field

The Package

• Initial 12 month contract with a strong likelihood of extension
• Up to £75 per hour, Inside IR35
• Hybrid working from an office in the Glasgow area
• Quick interview turnaround and start dates available within weeks
