Additionally, you should possess prior exposure to API-driven architectures and technical delivery, alongside hands-on proficiency with tools like Jira, Confluence, Miro, Azure DevOps, or similar.

  • Ensure adherence to agile principles and best practices across teams.

  • Foster a culture of transparency, accountability, and collaboration.

  • Track and analyze sprint metrics (velocity, burn-downs, cycle time) to help teams improve efficiency and predictability.

  • Guide teams in adopting agile tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence) and techniques that best fit fintech product cycles.

  • Collaborate closely with compliance, security, and data teams to ensure agile delivery.

  • Support multiple squads working on communications, AI, platform, customer service and experience

  • Coach and mentor team members and stakeholders in agile mindset and practices.

  • 4+ years of experience as a Scrum Master in agile software development environments.

  • Proven experience working in consumer platforms

  • Strong understanding of agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe) and DevOps practices.

  • Exceptional facilitation, communication, and stakeholder management skills.

  • Comfortable working with distributed or cross-functional teams.

  • Data-driven mindset with experience using delivery metrics to drive improvement.
