Scrum Master / Project Manager

Role overview

We need a Scrum Master / Project Manager with a strong data and BI background to run delivery for a Microsoft Fabric and Power BI data team.

You will be the bridge between the team, the Technical Manager, leadership and business stakeholders.

This is a delivery leadership role, not a hands-on development role.

Responsibilities

• Run Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews, retros) for the data engineering and BI team.
• Own the backlog with the Technical Manager: translate business report and data requests into clear, prioritized stories.
• Act as the single point of coordination across the team, Technical Manager, leadership and business users.
• Coordinate production issues and escalations, including failed overnight batch and replication jobs, through to resolution.
• Track delivery, risks and dependencies; report status to leadership.
• Manage stakeholder expectations on data quality issues and drive root-cause follow-up.
• Improve team process, documentation and release discipline.

Required qualifications

• 5+ years as a Scrum Master or Project Manager, with at least 2-3 years on data, analytics or BI teams.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Fabric and Power BI: enough to follow technical discussions and understand reporting needs.
• Understanding of data pipelines, data warehousing, ETL/ELT and data quality concepts.
• Experience coordinating production support and incident escalations.
• Excellent verbal and written communication with business and technical audiences.
• Able to work US business hours (EST/CST).

Nice to have

• CSM, PSM or PMP certification.
• Microsoft certification such as PL-300 (Power BI) or DP-600 (Fabric).
• Azure data stack exposure (Data Factory, Synapse, SQL).
• Experience stabilizing a team after key-person turnover.
