About the Scrum Master job

The Scrum Master is a first-class communicator with people at all levels of the organisation and must foster particularly strong channels of communication and appropriate reporting with Product Owners, the Development Manager and the Delivery Manager.

By limiting distractions, the Scrum Master ensures the Scrum teams are able to maintain focus and drive towards their sprint goals and as the voice of the Scrum team acts as an escalation point to the outside world. In addition, they should ensure that all sprint ceremonies are efficient and achieve the intended outcome and suggest appropriate changes where this is not the case.

The Scrum Master is a servant leader who facilitates and supports teams to become both self-organised and high functioning and fosters a culture of continuous improvement. They share their passion for Scrum with the development team and the wider business and ensure APD matures and improves in its approach over time.
