Facto is looking for an Iteration Manager to join a major Australian organisation on a 6 month contract starting early 2027.
This is a good next step for a mid-level agile practitioner who has already worked as a Scrum Master or Iteration Manager. You’ve run squads and ceremonies, and you’re ready to take on two squads for a new program.
About the Role The organisation is starting a new program within its Financial Services portfolio, built around a customer-facing everyday payments product. The program is in its early stages, and you’ll join while the squads are being formed. You’ll lead two cross-functional squads made up of product, CX and technology people. Your focus will be running delivery end to end at squad level and helping the teams build solid agile habits from the start.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage end to end execution for two squads, from Discovery through to Delivery and BAU
- Facilitate Scrum ceremonies, including Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Showcases and Retrospectives
- Keep the backlog healthy,
working with Product Owners to break large initiatives into small, deliverable pieces
- Remove blockers and manage dependencies to protect squad throughput
- Report on velocity, team dynamics and ways of working
- Look after team dynamics and handle conflict constructively
- Keep executive-level stakeholders informed on squad progress and risks
- Make sure release readiness is met, including Definition of Done and sign-offs before go-live
About You
- Mid-level experience in agile delivery, with previous roles as a Scrum Master or Iteration Manager
- Scrum certification (e.g. CSM, PSM)
- Hands-on experience running Scrum in a software development environment
- Confident facilitator and coach who can keep teams on track and work through conflict
- Comfortable reporting on squad metrics and communicating with senior stakeholders
- Proficient in Jira and Confluence
- Financial services or payments experience is a nice to have
