About the role

  • Facilitate all Scrum ceremonies: sprint planning, daily standups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives
  • Shield the team from external distractions and scope creep mid-sprint
  • Track and remove blockers, escalating when needed to Engineering or Product leadership
  • Maintain and improve team velocity, sprint predictability, and delivery cadence
  • Coach team members on agile principles — not just process, but mindset
  • Partner with Product Owners to ensure backlog grooming is consistent and priorities are clear
  • Coordinate cross-squad dependencies, particularly across Spend/Nuvy, Tebca migration, and platform workstreams
  • Surface risks early — technical debt, resource gaps, or unclear requirements — before they become sprint failures
  • Own and improve Jira workflows, dashboards, and reporting for transparency to leadership
  • Support release planning and alignment with quarterly OKRs in Perdoo

Requirements

  • 3+ years as Scrum Master or Agile Coach in a software/fintech environment
  • Certified Scrum Master (CSM) or equivalent (PSM, SAFe preferred)
  • Strong working knowledge of Jira (board configuration, JQL, reporting)
  • Experience managing distributed teams across multiple time zones
  • Fluent in English and Spanish
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, multi-product environment with shifting priorities
  • Ability to hold teams accountable without authority — influence over hierarchy
Benefits
  • Flexible work arrangements
  • Professional development
