Scrum MasterLocation: Phoenix, AZ
Full-time (Onsite, NOT A REMOTE ROLE)
We’re seeking a Scrum Master to support several small cross-functional teams working on our financial platform. The ideal candidate is pragmatic — someone who values communication and delivery more than process theater. You’ll facilitate sprint planning, retrospectives, and daily stand-ups while ensuring progress toward real business outcomes. You’ll serve as the connective tissue between engineering, QA, and product — not as a taskmaster, but as a partner in execution.
