Job Title: Centre for Innovation - Scrum Master - Agile Delivery Consultant

Overview of the Centre for Innovation

A living, breathing innovation hub as an accelerator to help Accenture and its clients unlock value by design.

Our design-led, multidiscipline Centre for Innovation will research, incubate and pilot new and emerging digital technologies. Opportunities will focus on building the future in real time, partnering with clients across multiple industries and bringing together distinct skillsets to create true acceleration at scale.

Operating across all stages of the innovation spectrum, the working environment will be open and interactive. An experimentation culture combined with a disruptive brief will ensure that together we make major societal impacts.

Join us on this journey and be part of creating, building and influencing the Centre for Innovation's future. We are looking for the people who are:

· Motivated by an open ended problem

We work with the biggest Internet companies in the world to solve current problems in areas such as analytics, global schedule management, capacity planning, predictive resource modelling and workflow. Increasingly we engage these companies on future problems in areas such as global information systems (self-driving cars, automated drone delivery), global localisation (global ecommerce strategy, global campaign management) and dynamic resourcing (crowdsourcing).

What are we looking for?

Agile scrum masters and coaches: not only those who are comfortable with Scrum, Kanban, XP and Lean, but those who are ready to lead the way in advancing the next iteration of agile practices. We are passionate about Iterative Development and Continuous Improvement and Client Involvement and Convergence across the full Accenture Spectrum. We can and will do whatever it takes to deliver truly great solutions.

What will you do?

You'll need to figure that out. The team will be autonomous, have the power to select/use the technology they choose, release and prototype at a pace they decide on. You and your teammates will work with top Internet players to design and implement technology that scales the next generation of start-ups into Internet giants.

· You'll take the world's largest Internet companies to the next level.
· You'll work with some of the brightest people in the world to disrupt everything.
· You'll design next-generation customer experiences.
