Job Description
We are looking for a Scrum Master to work with multiple small agile teams to deliver solutions in data and analytics technologies. This position will be Full-Time and Remote.
What You’ll Do
- Serve as Scrum Master for Agile teams delivering data and analytics solutions for a large manufacturing company
- Work closely with Product Owners to align on business priorities, maintain a clear and actionable backlog, and ensure stakeholder needs are met
- Facilitate core Agile ceremonies: Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Backlog Refinement, Reviews, and Retrospectives
- Guide the team through data-focused sprints, including work on ingestion, transformation, integration, and reporting
- Track progress, remove blockers, and drive continuous improvement in team performance and delivery
- Collaborate with data engineers, analysts, architects, and business teams to ensure high-quality, end-to-end solutions
- Promote Agile best practices across platforms like SAP ECC, IBP, HANA, BOBJ, Databricks, and Tableau
- Monitor and share Agile metrics (e.g., velocity, burn-down) to keep teams and stakeholders aligned
- Support team capacity planning, identify bottlenecks early, and help the team stay focused and accountable
- Foster a culture of collaboration, adaptability, and frequent customer feedback to ensure business value is delivered in every sprint
- Orient the team to focus on the objects that are to be built more so than the tasks required to build them
- Guide the team to continuously break down efforts to smaller components. Smaller workpieces result in better flow. Having eight stories of half a day each is better than having one story of four days
- Guide the team to always provide clarity on the stories by using detailed descriptions and explicit acceptance criteria
- Bring the team’s focus in the daily standup meetings to completing things instead of working on things
