The ideal candidate will be collaborative, passionate about Agile ways of working, and eager to grow their skills in servant leadership, facilitation, coaching, and Agile delivery. This position will initially work under the guidance and mentorship of a Senior Scrum Master while progressively taking ownership of team-level responsibilities.
