Behind the scenes, but ahead of the curve: help us develop the next-generation public service media organization.

Technology & Infrastructure (T&I) is the backbone and the future-forward arm of CBC/Radio-Canada. Our purpose is to constantly innovate to evolve and maintain the Corporation’s technology and infrastructure. We are the people that make stuff work. We make connections between media content, systems, people and places. We are the space in between.

A place with purpose. CBC/Radio-Canada has always been a highly regarded pioneer of media technology — not just in Canada but around the world. Today, we are transforming ourselves into a modern and agile public service media organization. Technology is the driving force, and we are the team making it happen.

As part of this transformation, Innovation & Delivery is undertaking a large infrastructure project, with a goal to modernize our broadcasting capabilities. The Enterprise Applications Agile Practice team is supporting this program.

This is a hybrid position with a mix of in-office and remote work. Work arrangements will be discussed with hiring managers per departmental guidelines.

Your Role:

The Enterprise Applications Delivery - Agile Practice Team is looking for a Scrum Master with strong organizational and coaching skills and familiarity with Scaled Agile practices to lead squads in our audio and video editing tool replacement project known as Pyramid. This role can be based in our downtown Montreal or Toronto office.

Reporting to the Director, Enterprise Application Delivery, you will guide and coach teams and support the transition to Agile in technical teams involved in this program. You will be responsible for ensuring the squads’ focus and effectiveness, partnering with Project teams and Project Managers to ensure priorities are known, and contribute to metrics and reporting. Leading by example, you will be an agent of change, introducing agile practices that will ensure focus, transparency and collaboration in your teams. You will also collaborate with other Scrum Masters to support Enterprise Applications in their Agile Transformation

How will you make an impact?

As Scrum Master, you will:

Scaled Delivery & Squad Coaching

• Guide and coach multiple multidisciplinary Squads to implement Scaled Agile practices and principles to deliver high-quality digital/media products.

• Maintain team focus, flow, and predictability while embedding rigorous quality standards (100% Definition of Done).
• Build a trusting, safe, and transparent environment focused on continuous improvement, autonomy, and open problem-solving.

Scaled Alignment & Product Operating Model Integration

• Support the organizational transition from traditional project delivery to a product-led operating model, navigating hybrid environments smoothly when required.
• Identify, surface, and resolve daily impediments and cross-team dependencies, escalating systemic blockers through program governance when needed.

  • Continuous Adaptation: Track adoption metrics, measure progress, and continuously evolve team ways of working.
• Act as a proactive agent of change, breaking down operational silos and fostering a shared product culture across business and technology domains.
• Leverage delivery metrics, visual management boards, and transparent reporting to track agile maturity progression and team performance.

Enablement & Peer Support across the Agile Practice

• Support, coach, and mentor other Scrum Masters across the enterprise practice, facilitating knowledge sharing, community alignment, and elevating overall scaled agile maturity.
• Collaborate within the Agile & Transformation practice to foster consistency in tooling, team working agreements, and scaled delivery standards.
• Contribute to the continuous refinement, evolution, and local enablement of the organization’s Agile Playbook and transformation practices.
