Project Overview:
We are seeking an experienced Senior Scrum Master (Contract) to support the modernization of a core underwriting platform for a mid-sized insurance carrier undergoing digital transformation. The project is focused on reengineering legacy processes and platforms, integrating CI/CD pipelines, and implementing robust automated testing frameworks to enable faster, more reliable software delivery.

Coordinate closely with DevOps and QA leads to embed CI/CD and automated testing into the development lifecycle
Ensure consistent, high-quality delivery of sprint objectives within the context of an evolving platform and infrastructure
Help teams define and enforce Definition of Done , with a strong emphasis on integration, regression, and UAT readiness
Act as a servant leader to clear blockers, manage team health, and support delivery in a high-change environment
Collaborate with business analysts, product owners, and architects to break down complex requirements tied to legacy platform replacement
Coach the team and stakeholders on Agile best practices tailored to hybrid legacy-modern delivery
Provide clear reporting on sprint metrics, risks, and delivery status to internal IT leadership and external consulting partners
Manage cross-team dependencies and timelines within a broader transformation roadmap
Required Qualifications:
7+ years as a Scrum Master with demonstrated success in complex Agile delivery environments
Prior experience supporting insurance carriers or financial institutions through core platform modernization or digital transformation
Proven experience implementing or operating within CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab, Azure DevOps) and integrating test automation into Agile workflows
Comfortable working across QA, DevOps, product, and legacy IT teams to harmonize delivery efforts
Background in transitioning teams from waterfall or hybrid SDLC models to Agile/DevOps
Strong working knowledge of Jira, Confluence, and sprint performance metrics
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills in matrixed environments
Nice to Have:
Experience with underwriting systems or insurance platforms (e.g., Guidewire, Duck Creek, or homegrown policy admin systems)
Familiarity with containerization, microservices, and API testing
Experience with regulatory/compliance frameworks common in insurance (SOX, NAIC, etc.)
