Job Description

Scrum Master

Stand Together

• Facilitate Agile ceremonies: standups, sprint planning, backlog refinement, retrospectives, and reviews with preparation, clear time-boxing, and a consistent bias toward outcomes over process. • Build the trust and psychological safety that makes retrospectives honest and improvement actions credible. • Shift sprint planning from in-meeting discovery to in-meeting alignment by doing the administrative and readiness work, including ticket review, agenda setting, and Jira cleanup. • Maintain backlog health: ensure work is properly categorized, sized, structured, and ready for commitment before it enters a sprint. • Apply and reinforce standardized ticket structures: consistent issue types, field usage, user story and acceptance criteria formats, spike success criteria, bug reproduction steps. • Track, analyze, and communicate sprint metrics including velocity, rollover trends, and estimated versus actual effort; surface patterns that improve planning accuracy over time. • Facilitate root-cause analysis of blockers and rollover; ensure carryover discussions result in specific, corrective actions. • Identify and actively pursue impediments that cross team boundaries, escalating to the Agile Practice Lead when resolution requires broader organizational action. • Contribute to overall delivery standards by sharing what is working, flagging what is not, and helping build the playbooks and templates that benefit all teams.

Job Requirements

  • Prior experience as a Scrum Master or Agile delivery lead supporting cross-functional product or technology teams.
  • The interpersonal skills to build trust quickly on teams that may be skeptical, fatigued, or in conflict.
  • Strong Jira skills: backlog management, workflow configuration, automation, dashboard and reporting development, and the discipline to keep data clean and meaningful.
  • Comfort operating across multiple teams simultaneously, including managing schedule complexity and adapting your approach to teams at different maturity levels.
  • A diagnostic mindset: you notice patterns, ask good questions, and distinguish between a team problem, a process problem, and an organizational problem before deciding how to respond.
  • Enthusiasm to contribute to Stand Together's vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect.

Benefits

  • Competitive benefits: Enjoy a 6% 401(k) match with immediate vesting, flexible time off, comprehensive health and dental plans, plus wellness and mental health support through Peloton and Talkspace.
  • A meaningful career: Join a passionate community of over 1,300 employees dedicated to improving lives and driving innovative solutions to complex social challenges.
  • Commitment to growth: Thrive in a non-hierarchical environment that empowers employees to discover, develop and apply their unique talents.
  • Competitive compensation: Our approach rewards the value you create through competitive salaries and bonus opportunities, allowing you to share in the success you help drive.
