* Coordinate with project managers and other delivery leads to manage cross-team dependencies
* Serve as a bridge between IT and business functions, translating technical language into business context and vice versa
* Foster a culture of continuous improvement and high accountability within the team

REQUIREMENTS:
* 4-5+ years of Scrum Master experience supporting software development teams within enterprise environments
