We are not looking for project managers or other career professionals looking to break into technology and the Scrum Master role. We need a fully formed career Scrum Master, someone ready to hit the ground running, but who also understands this is a journey of continuous learning, and there are always opportunities to improve or grow in the role.
- Candidates who have BA / Scrum Master or PM / Scrum Master or basically hold another title / Scrum Master will NOT be a fit for this role
- Candidates must be working in a 100% SAFe environment / framework, NOT hybrid
- Looking to hire ASAP
- Interview process will probably be 2 to 3 interviews. Our goal is to do first interview with me (Douglas Campbell), RTE, and other managers. Senior director may require final interview for sign-off. We may ask candidate back several times depending on availability of all managers and our level of confidence in their interview performance and answers.
- The Scrum Master will likely support (2) Teams
- We highly encourage you to provide our JD below and allow candidates to use it as a reference for interviews
- We have been hiring Scrum Masters for a long time and will be very selective in who we choose to interview; resumes should reflect the experience we seek in detail and not require exploration and not be full of generic pasted keywords
- Must be a real agilest with true knowledge of Scrum Framework; familiarity with scaling frameworks in general and in particular SAFe.
- Must hold current and relevant certifications from SAFe and/or Scrum Alliance (or another truly legitimate Scrum organization, no diploma mills)
- Resume must reflect 3 to 5+ years TRUE experience as a Scrum Master
- No cut-and-paste resumes from project managers and other fields trying to break into the Scrum Master role
- Candidates must pass a technical verbal test during the interview (knowledge of frameworks, real-life examples of implementing practices, explaining key academic ideas that support lean-agile ways of working)
