About the Job

Join Sysmind GmbH, a premier SECO-licensed IT Consulting and Project Execution firm. At Sysmind, we don’t just fill roles; we build high-performing delivery engines. We partner with Switzerland’s leading enterprises to execute complex digital roadmaps with Swiss precision. As a Scrum Master in our consulting practice, you will be more than a facilitator—you will be a strategic leader driving operational excellence across a diversified industrial landscape, including Finance, Pharma, MedTech, and the Public Sector.

Responsibilities
  • Project Execution Leadership: Lead complex Agile projects from initial concept through to final delivery, ensuring the team remains focused on high-impact business outcomes.
  • Consultative Facilitation: Act as a neutral arbiter and coach, navigating team friction and stakeholder interests to maintain positive momentum and velocity.
  • Operational Health: Manage resource allocation, capacity planning, and sprint-level budget tracking to ensure project viability and financial health.
  • Technical Roadblocking: Use your technical acumen to "speak the language" of developers and architects, identifying and neutralizing roadblocks before they impact the sprint.
  • Stakeholder Value Translation: Act as the bridge between technical execution and business value, translating sprint progress into clear, actionable updates for executive stakeholders.
Requirements
  • Experience: 5+ years of experience in IT project management or engineering leadership roles, with a proven track record in end-to-end delivery.

  • Framework Mastery: Expert-level knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies, with the situational awareness to adapt frameworks to meet unique client needs.

  • Business & Financial Acumen: Strong understanding of project financials, including the ability to manage actuals vs. projections and navigate scope trade-offs.

  • Tooling Excellence: Power-user proficiency in Jira (for granular tracking/reporting) and Microsoft Project (for high-level strategic roadmapping).

Soft Skills & EQ: High emotional intelligence and empathy to read the room, build trust, and thrive in multicultural, fast-paced consulting environments.

We Offer
  • Diversified Industry Exposure: The opportunity to lead projects across a wide range of sectors, from global logistics to high-security financial systems.

  • Consulting Sovereignty: A professional environment that values your expertise as a leader and empowers you to influence project delivery standards.

  • Global Talent Support: Comprehensive guidance on Swiss work permit applications (EU/EFTA & Non-EU) and specialized relocation support.

Career Evolution: A long-term partnership dedicated to your growth as a premier Agile consultant within the elite Swiss technology ecosystem.
