* Coordinate cross-team dependencies and encourage knowledge sharing between SCRUM Masters

* Formal SCRUM Master training and/or certification
* Excellent facilitation, coaching, and mentoring skills
* Experience using agile delivery tools (Jira, Trello, or equivalent).

* Passionate about building high-performing, collaborative teams
* A confident communicator with a positive, pragmatic approach to problem-solving
* Driven and self-starting, with a focus on continuous improvement
* Detail-oriented, organised, and adaptable in a fast-paced environment
