Scrum Master

Overview

CashFlow Central is seeking a Scrum Master to help an agile scrum team deliver effectively against business and technical priorities. This role is focused on enabling strong team execution, improving delivery predictability, and removing obstacles that slow progress. The ideal candidate is a strong agile practitioner who can work independently, lead effective team ceremonies, surface risks early, and improve delivery flow through practical coaching and disciplined follow-through.

This is not primarily an implementation-focused role. While technical fluency is important, this person is expected to facilitate agile delivery, remove impediments, improve team effectiveness, and help the team operate successfully within organizational and cross-functional constraints with minimal day-to-day guidance.

Key Responsibilities

• Facilitate sprint planning, daily scrums, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and other key agile ceremonies.

• Identify, remove, and escalate blockers or dependencies that affect team delivery and execution.

• Coach the scrum team, product partners, and stakeholders on agile practices, team norms, and effective delivery behaviors.

• Improve sprint predictability, estimation quality, refinement readiness, and follow-through on team commitments.

• Drive continuous improvement by turning retrospective outcomes into practical actions and monitoring follow-through.

• Promote transparency around risks, dependencies, capacity, scope changes, and delivery status.

• Help protect the team from unnecessary disruption and improve focus on committed work.

• Coordinate with cross-functional teams and partners to manage dependencies and keep delivery moving.

• Partner with engineering and product leadership to improve delivery discipline, team health, and overall agile maturity.

Required Qualifications

• Proven Scrum Master experience supporting software delivery teams in agile environments.

• Strong facilitation, coaching, stakeholder management, and conflict resolution skills.

• Experience improving team execution, delivery predictability, and agile maturity over time.

• Ability to identify blockers quickly, drive resolution, and manage ambiguity with limited oversight.

• Strong understanding of software delivery lifecycles and enough technical fluency to work credibly with engineering teams.

• Experience using delivery metrics, team signals, and operational feedback to identify issues and improve team performance.

• Experience coordinating across product, engineering, and other partner teams in shared delivery environments.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across teams and functions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting teams that build products for small businesses or operate in financial services, payments, or related regulated environments.

• Experience coaching cross-functional product and engineering teams in shared delivery environments.

• Experience supporting multiple teams or helping scale agile practices beyond a single scrum team.

• Familiarity with agile delivery tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, or similar platforms.

• Scrum certifications such as CSM, PSM, or equivalent.

• Familiarity with cloud or platform delivery concepts that help with technical dependency management and team coordination.

What Success Looks Like

• Ramps quickly and helps the team establish strong sprint discipline and delivery rhythm in a short timeframe.

• Removes friction that slows execution and keeps work moving consistently across the team.

• Improves collaboration, transparency, and accountability across ceremonies and day-to-day delivery.

• Requires minimal guidance in day-to-day execution and consistently moves delivery issues toward resolution.

• Raises agile maturity and helps the team deliver more effectively with less churn, confusion, and avoidable delay.
