Scrum Master Opportunity

My client is looking to hire a Scrum Master to work remotely. They will act as the Scrum Master over two mobile development teams, one with 17 people and one with 16 people. The teams include developers, QAs, QA leads, product owners, UX, and development leads. The team is primarily onshore, with a few offshore developers.

At a high level, we need this candidate to be experienced in Agile, willing to dig in, strong communication and interpersonal skills, willing to challenge and elevate the teams with technical aptitude. They need to be driven and a go-getter; instinctive; strong facilitator. They will be leading two teams on the train. This person needs strong leadership skills, someone who can facilitate calls, communicate action items, and they will be heavily involved in managing releases. They will need to bridge the gap between other teams and communicate on bundled releases, dependency conversations, assist with capacity planning, allocation, and prioritizing features. The team runs two-week sprint cycles, with six sprints in a PI.

Responsibilities:

• Support the implementation of agile methods such as Scrum and Kanban
