The Scrum Master provides effective collaboration, facilitation, leadership, and coaching skills that directly impact our Agile development process and the delivery of our applications. As an Agile expert, the Scrum Master will be responsible for enforcing Agile "best practices," removing impediments, and promoting empowerment amongst team members. The Scrum Master is a servant leader with the demeanor and acumen to handle most any situation faced by our development teams.

• You're a listener. You hear what's not being said and have a gift for understanding motivations and resolving interpersonal conflicts
• You're humble and take a real satisfaction in seeing others succeed
