Scrum Master
We are recruiting Scrum Master to join the Emerging Enterprise tech team to help us deliver new features and improvements in a timely manner. As Scrum Master, your role will be to remove any impediments that slow down the team. While you will have many people to support you in this effort, you will be accountable for understanding, improving, and reporting on the team’s velocity and progress against deliverables. This team has a start-up mentality – we are working hard and fast, we must be reactive, and we want to enjoy our work and build something that we are proud of.

• Agile – You have some experience working in an agile environment and more importantly, you can remain flexible to changing needs but also commit to projects and continue delivering work.

Duties and responsibilities:
• Coaching and guiding the team to be self-organising and use agile/scrum practices
• Ensuring that product releases/sprints are delivered on-time, within scope
• Tracking delivery priorities, tracking progress, and addressing obstacles to keep the project/ sprints on track
• Able to guide the team in refinement, daily scrum meetings, sprint demo’s, sprint retrospectives, user story point estimation etc
• Increasing team efficiency, motivating team(s) by advocating for processes that will ensure quality and timeliness
• the development team’s velocity and working to incrementally improve it, making the team more efficient
• Create dashboards to automatically report on sprint statuses and send regular communications to stakeholders
• Working with the teams to identify and manage risks and dependencies
