SUMMARY:

We need a Scrum Master who’s worked in enterprise-level environments and ideally has run more than 1 scrum team at once or someone that is focused on cascading work across multiple sprints

-Someone who has SAFe experience would work well as there are a lot of dependencies in a SAFe environment as well as more road mapping, Program Increment (PI) planning, and simply larger projects

-We also need someone who has preferably worked on projects within 1 of the 3 below:

• Analytics projects.
• Projects focused on supporting Sales end users.
• Projects focused on supporting Customer support end users
•  

Candidates must have proven and sound experience acting as a driver – they must demonstrate they know how to get things done and not sit back and wait

Candidates MUST have enterprise level experience

It’s not incredibly important that someone comes from a SAFe environment

It ‘s important that candidates understand the importance of planning and how to work with/push back on Product Owners

If a Scrum Master is looking at a backlog and not seeing prioritized tasks in the backlog, the Scrum Master should have the drive to push/connect with the PO to figure out what the plan is

Candidates should have a very strong grasp on planning and what it takes to plan across sprints and forward look with Product Owners

Scrum Teams have a variety of roles on them to include Designers, Web Developers, Data Engineers, Tableau Developers

Candidates need to have broad experience across all areas to understand the work that needs to get done and the dependencies that need to exist

If a candidates comes from a Software shop for example, they must understand the dependencies of design, data ingestion, APIs, etc.

They must have the ability to work cross functionally

Candidates who have direct Analytics, Sales concepts exp is a huge plus

This person to be a DRIVER!
