We’re looking for an enthusiastic, early-career Junior Scrum Master to support the agile delivery of one of our software product squads. You’ll facilitate the day-to-day rhythm of the team, help keep work flowing, and clear the smaller obstacles that get in the way — all while learning from and being mentored by our Senior Scrum Master. This is a great opportunity for someone with foundational agile knowledge who wants to grow quickly into a full Scrum Master role.
Responsibilities:
Facilitate core Scrum ceremonies (daily stand-ups, sprint planning, backlog refinement, reviews, and retrospectives) for your squad.
Help the team stay focused, organized, and on track toward sprint goals.
Identify and help remove day-to-day impediments, escalating larger blockers appropriately.
Keep agile tooling (e.g. Jira) up to date — maintaining boards, sprint data, and reporting.
Support the Product Owner with backlog upkeep and sprint preparation.
Help produce delivery metrics and simple progress reports for the team and stakeholders.
Encourage healthy team collaboration, communication, and continuous improvement.
Actively build your agile knowledge and grow toward independently running a team.
Requirements
0–2 years of experience in an agile team as a Scrum Master.
A solid foundational understanding of Scrum and agile principles.
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
Good communication and interpersonal skills, with a collaborative, service-minded attitude.
Eagerness to learn, take feedback, and grow quickly.
Comfort working in a fast-paced software product environment.
Fluent English.
Certifications:
A Scrum Master certification (CSM or PSM) is a plus. If you don’t hold one yet, we’ll expect you to
pursue it within your first year.
Nice to Have:
Exposure to tools such as Jira, Trello, or Azure DevOps.
A technical or product background, or a genuine interest in software delivery.
Experience in travel, fintech, or startup environments.
