You'll be a Scrum Master with 5+ years of experience and join a team of enthusiastic individuals striving to innovate, design and build solutions that meet comprehensive requirements, within a global team in Anti Financial Crime division of the bank. You'll have thorough experience with the infrastructure, Architecture and Cloud as well as Agile practices and ensure that teams follow Agile practices and scrum framework values.

The Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring a team lives agile values and principles and follows the agreed processes and practices to allow the team to continually improve their performance. The Scrum Master leads from a position of influence, taking a servant-leadership stance i.e., demonstrates a leadership philosophy in which the main goal of the leader is to serve. Responsibilities include proactively removing blockers to team success, establishing an environment where the team can be effective, and protecting the team from outside interruptions and distractions. The Scrum Master also acts to ensure a good relationship between the team and Product Owner as well as others outside the team, facilitating meetings and Scrum events, and working with the Product Owner to make sure the upcoming book of work (backlog) is sufficiently defined and ready for the creation of the next product increment (sprint).
