Scrum Master

We are an international digital studio that transforms ideas into incredible products. We are part of Tiny, a Canadian investment fund behind industry giants such as Dribbble or Metalab. We work with North American startups helping them create and launch disruptive products to the market.

Z1 is not a design agency with several engineers, nor a development consultant with a handful of designers. We are a team of more than 70 designers, engineers and communication professionals that approach each project holistically.

We always work as a team, both remotely (we have colleagues in New York, San Francisco, Vancouver, etc.) and in person at our main headquarters located in the center of Seville, a 700m2 space where you will feel at home.

We would like to incorporate into our team people who bring their full potential and work comfortably in dynamic environments so that they can collaborate in a diverse range of projects.

A Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring that the studio strictly adheres to the work methodology's principles and dynamics, ensuring that the team is always on track to deliver high-quality work on time.

Your day to day would involve some tasks like these:

• Facilitate the adoption of agile methodologies within the organization.
• Help eliminate impediments that may affect product delivery or sprint completion.
• Foster communication and collaboration among team members and with other areas of the company.
• Promote continuous improvement and teamwork.
• Be a servant leader.
• Convey the Agile philosophy to the team, explain why we do things the way we do, and what values this working framework holds.
• Understand the used processes, their purpose, when it makes sense to apply them, and when it is more convenient to make exceptions.
• Facilitate team-level ceremonies and ensure they meet the established format.
• Ensure ceremonies are held within the agreed timebox.
• Ensure teams and work follow agreed-upon procedures.
• Work together with the Product Owner and other team members to create value in each sprint.
• Ensure team members have the necessary tools, processes, procedures, etc., to fulfill their work.
• Ensure team members are well-coordinated, and dependencies are detected and resolved before they become impediments.
• Collect metrics that help us detect improvements and determine how effective the introduced measures are.
