## Description

The Consolidated Cumulus Core Scrum Master is a servant-leader responsible for promoting and supporting Scaled Agile (SAFe) principles within the technical core of the program. This role ensures the team works effectively by removing blockers, facilitating key Agile ceremonies - including Scrum of Scrums (SoS), PI Planning, and team meetings - and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. The Scrum Master acts as a bridge between technical execution and the strategic flow managed by the Release Train Engineer (RTE). Note: Two (2) Scrum Master positions are available on the Core team.

Primary Responsibilities

 * Facilitate core Scrum ceremonies - including Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Planning, Sprint Reviews, and Retrospectives - ensuring they are productive and appropriately time-boxed.

 * Guide the team toward consistent, measurable improvement each sprint cycle.

 * Support the Product Owner in managing team capacity and protecting the team from unplanned external interruptions.

 * Identify and remediate bottlenecks to ensure work moves through development and operations without stalling.

 * Identify, mitigate, and escalate high-level blockers to the Release Train Engineer (RTE) to maintain optimal flow.

 * Help the team manage complex dependencies, particularly those involving infrastructure and core software updates.

 * Coach team members on Lean-Agile principles and practices, with a focus on development and operations synchronization.

 * Support the Product Owner in maintaining a healthy, prioritized backlog.

 * Promote standardized processes, tools, and communication channels across the team.

 * Track and report on Key Performance Metrics - such as velocity, cycle time, defect rates, and predictability - to support leadership decision-making.

 * Provide a data-driven view of team health and progress against strategic goals to the Operations Manager and Release Train Engineer.
