Forcepoint is looking for an experienced Scrum Master to join our Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) engineering organisation. As the team's Agile coach and delivery facilitator, you will be embedded across DSPM engineering squads, driving sprint delivery, removing blockers, and building a continuous-improvement culture. You will be a servant leader - equal parts coach, facilitator, and trusted partner to engineers, Product Owners, and senior stakeholders alike.
Key Responsibilities
- Facilitate all Scrum ceremonies across DSPM engineering squads - sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives

- Track and report on sprint metrics, velocity, team health, and DORA metrics; use data to drive delivery improvements
- Partner with Product Owners to ensure the backlog is well-maintained, sprint goals are clearly defined, and dependencies are managed
- Support cross-team coordination across DSPM squads and with broader Forcepoint engineering teams
- Drive adoption of engineering best practices - test automation, CI/CD, definition of done - in collaboration with engineering leads
- Foster a culture of psychological safety, accountability, and high performance within DSPM squads
- Contribute to Forcepoint-wide Agile practice maturity through sharing learnings and participating in communities of practice
Skills and Abilities- Deep knowledge of Scrum and Agile frameworks; experience with SAFe or Kanban is advantageous
- Proven ability to coach, influence, and facilitate without direct authority
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills - able to engage from squad level to senior leadership
- Data-driven mindset - comfortable working with sprint metrics, burndown charts, and delivery KPIs
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity and driving clarity in fast-paced, distributed engineering teams
- Collaborative, empathetic leadership style with a bias for action
Education and Experience- Certified Scrum Master (CSM), Professional Scrum Master (PSM), or equivalent certification required
- 3+ years of experience as a Scrum Master embedded in a software engineering environment
