Senior Project Lead - Scrum Master

HCL Technologies Limited, a global technology services company, is hiring a Senior Project Lead who also serves as the Scrum Master. The role is onsite in Great Britain, with a focus on delivering projects within defined scope, timeline, and budget by applying agile principles. It’s a strong fit for someone who enjoys leading cross-functional teams, guiding change, and shaping agile practices in complex programs.

The position blends traditional project leadership with hands-on agile practice and change management. You’ll drive delivery by coordinating stakeholders, facilitating ceremonies, and coaching teams to follow Agile methods. If you like turning strategy into tangible outcomes and helping teams improve, this could be a good match.

If you’re looking to influence how projects are run in a global IT environment and you thrive when mentoring others, this role invites you to make a real impact through disciplined delivery and practical agile leadership.

As a Senior Project Lead, you’ll oversee projects from their start through to completion, keeping everything aligned with established project management practices. You’ll also act as the Scrum Master, running the agile ceremonies and helping the team stay true to agile principles. Change management is part of the job, so you’ll craft and communicate strategies to handle project changes with stakeholders.

You’ll work with cross-functional teams to set clear objectives, define the scope, and establish realistic delivery timelines. Proactively spotting risks and resolving issues will be part of your daily routine to keep progress steady. You’ll push for continual improvement through retrospectives and by refining how those projects are run, and you’ll share your know-how with teammates to grow agile capability across the group.

What you bring to the table and what would make you stand out are shaped by two lists. Here’s how the core requirements line up with the desirable extras.

• Hands-on experience as a Scrum Master, including running sprint events, coaching the team, and promoting agile values.
• A solid track record in leading projects, handling change management, and applying agile approaches.
• Strong communication and leadership that helps you guide project teams and engage stakeholders.
• Experience putting agile frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban, or Lean into practice to deliver outcomes.
• Ability to manage several projects at once in a busy environment while keeping quality front and center.
• An analytical mindset and problem-solving skills to address project challenges and drive solutions.

• Certifications in Scrum (CSM), Agile (PMI-ACP), or Project Management (PMP) are preferred.

The role is full-time and onsite, located in Great Britain. No pay figures or additional benefits are listed in the details provided.

Lead with your Scrum Master track record: place concrete examples of ceremonies you’ve facilitated and teams you’ve coached at the top of your resume, so recruiters see agile leadership right away.

Prove you fit the must-haves: use brief, metric-backed statements that show how you’ve led projects, managed change, and applied Scrum, Kanban, or Lean to achieve outcomes. Tie each point to results like delivery within scope and on schedule.

Prepare for conversations about the daily craft: be ready to discuss specific retrospectives you ran, how you guided teams through change, and how you mentored others to adopt agile practices and project methods.

Ask a focused question: consider asking how the team balances agile delivery with cross-functional change efforts in ongoing programs, and what success looks like for agile initiatives within the organization.
