Scrum Master

How You Will Contribute

• Facilitate Agile ceremonies: standups, sprint planning, backlog refinement, retrospectives, and reviews with preparation, clear time-boxing, and a consistent bias toward outcomes over process. 

• Build the trust and psychological safety that makes retrospectives honest and improvement actions credible. 

• Shift sprint planning from in-meeting discovery to in-meeting alignment by doing the administrative and readiness work, including ticket review, agenda setting, and Jira cleanup. 

• Maintain backlog health: ensure work is properly categorized, sized, structured, and ready for commitment before it enters a sprint. 

• Apply and reinforce standardized ticket structures: consistent issue types, field usage, user story and acceptance criteria formats, spike success criteria, bug reproduction steps. 

• Track, analyze, and communicate sprint metrics including velocity, rollover trends, and estimated versus actual effort; surface patterns that improve planning accuracy over time. 

• Facilitate root-cause analysis of blockers and rollover; ensure carryover discussions result in specific, corrective actions. 

• Identify and actively pursue impediments that cross team boundaries, escalating to the Agile Practice Lead when resolution requires broader organizational action. 

• Contribute to overall delivery standards by sharing what is working, flagging what is not, and helping build the playbooks and templates that benefit all teams. 

What You Will Bring

• Prior experience as a Scrum Master or Agile delivery lead supporting cross-functional product or technology teams. 

• The interpersonal skills to build trust quickly on teams that may be skeptical, fatigued, or in conflict. You know that facilitation is only as effective as the relationships beneath it. 

• Strong Jira skills: backlog management, workflow configuration, automation, dashboard and reporting development, and the discipline to keep data clean and meaningful. 

• Comfort operating across multiple teams simultaneously, including managing schedule complexity and adapting your approach to teams at different maturity levels. 

• A diagnostic mindset: you notice patterns, ask good questions, and distinguish between a team problem, a process problem, and an organizational problem before deciding how to respond. 

• Enthusiasm to contribute to Stand Together's vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect.

Standout Candidates Will Bring

• Experience standing up or scaling Agile practices in maturing organizations. 

• Experience supporting technology, data, or platform teams where delivery involves significant cross-team dependencies and technical complexity. 

• Demonstrated ability to create durable templates, guides, and operating standards. 

• Experience working within a structured Agile practice under a practice lead or within a center of excellence, where craft standards are set at a level above the individual team.
