• Help teams implement changes effectively
• Ensure deliverables are up to quality standards at the end of each sprint
• Guide development teams to higher scrum maturity
• Help build a productive environment where team members ‘own’ the product and enjoy working on it

• At least 8 years of work experience in software development and Agile/Scrum roles.
• Experience in a Scrum Master role on more than 1 team simultaneously
• Experience in software development
• Excellent knowledge of Scrum techniques and artifacts (such as definition of done, user stories, story estimation, automated testing, backlog refinement)
