Job Description

A major European telecommunications group is establishing a new technology hub in Budapest to deliver engineering excellence, on-site support, and knowledge exchange across its European programmes. As Scrum Master / Delivery Manager, you will be the driving force behind agile delivery within this hub — keeping cross-functional engineering teams aligned, unblocked, and consistently shipping in a mission-critical telco environment.

Contribute to the wider agile maturity of the organisation

Requirements

Proven experience as a Scrum Master and/or Delivery Manager in enterprise tech environments
Strong facilitation and coaching skills — able to run ceremonies and drive team accountability
