You are proactive about communicating at every turn. - Craft optimal schedules and manage discrepancies to project scope, timeline, and budget - Take a chameleon approach to communication: you'll adapt to different communication styles and perspectives to make sure information is always clear - Own our ticket and bug tracking software (Jira) and make it work for us, instead of us working around it. What you'll need - 4+ years of hands-on Scrum Master experience - Strong project management fundamentals with agile experience - A direct communication style, you don't beat around the bush and you hold people accountable - A deeply-rooted team player mentality - you are committed to always explaining the "why" behind decisions and derive great purpose from setting others up for success - High emotional intelligence and empathy - you are an amazing communicator because you take the time to understand others' situations - Strong opinions about process and best practices - An understanding of what it takes to build software and applications and know how to work with developers through dependencies and technical challenges.
