Who you are

You’ll be enthusiastic and passionate about agile methodologies and eager to learn and grow in the role of a Scrum Master. You’ll have agile knowledge meaning you’re familiar with agile principles and values, as well as having knowledge of Scrum framework and related practices.

A strong communicator who has the ability to effectively convey complex concepts and influence stakeholders at all levels. You’ll be able to demonstrate experience in facilitating events and coaching teams in adopting new practices, with the ability to foster collaboration, lead by example, and promote a positive team culture.
