Scrum Master
About The Position
The Scrum Master will act as a servant leader for 1–2 cross-functional Agile teams, facilitating all standard Scrum ceremonies and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. This role involves navigating the tension between Agile team delivery and traditional PMO structures, supporting integration with waterfall-driven workstreams, and ensuring team alignment to program increments and release plans. The Scrum Master will collaborate with Product Owners, Business Analysts, System Integrator Partners, and SAP consultants to maintain a clear and prioritized backlog, facilitate story refinement and sizing sessions, and coordinate dependencies, blockers, and risks across other SAP streams and legacy systems. Additionally, the role requires participation in scaled Agile ceremonies, interfacing with Release Train Engineers and other Scrum Masters, and contributing to Agile metrics and reporting dashboards. Proficiency in Jira and familiarity with SAP Activate methodology and integration points with Agile planning are essential.
