Hybrid Scrum Master & Product Owner

Why We Stand Out

Seeking a new challenge where your professional and personal aspirations are not only possible but supported? Kaufman Rossin might be just the place for you!

How You’ll Contribute:

Product Owner Responsibilities

• Own and maintain the internal IT product backlog, ensuring every Epic, Feature, Story, and Task is well-defined, prioritized, and sprint-ready.
• Own the work-item hierarchy: Epics to Features to user stories to tasks, with clear acceptance criteria.
• Partner with US-based IT stakeholders as a peer to drive requirements, challenge assumptions, and co-define solutions.
• Lead backlog refinement with the Bengaluru engineering and delivery teams

Business Analysis Responsibilities

• Jointly lead discovery and requirements sessions with internal US IT stakeholders, actively driving conversations rather than only documenting them.
• Produce BRDs, functional specifications, process-flow diagrams, and acceptance criteria, collaboratively reviewed with US counterparts.
• Own requirements traceability so every delivered feature connects to a documented internal business or technology requirement.
• Translate complex internal technology, automation, integration, infrastructure, security, and operational workflows into structured user stories.

Scrum Master Responsibilities

• Facilitate sprint planning, standups, reviews, and retrospectives across internal IT initiatives.
• Provide hands-on Jira and Azure DevOps administration, including boards, workflows, hierarchy, sprint setup, automation, and reporting.
• Remove impediments, protect sprint integrity, track and report delivery metrics.
• Drive continuous improvement and coach the Bengaluru team on agile principles and self-organization

Stakeholder Partnership

• Engage US IT leaders, internal product owners, technical leads, and business-system stakeholders as a peer; proactively initiate requirements conversations and propose solutions.
• Build trusted relationships across internal IT and with the departments supported by IT, developing genuine knowledge of KR's systems and operating environment.
• Prepare and deliver structured status updates, backlog reviews, sprint metrics, and requirement walkthroughs for US audiences.
• Coordinate across internal IT workstreams while maintaining clear ownership, priorities, dependencies, and escalation paths.

What Skills You’ll Bring:

• 4+ years of Scrum Master, Product Owner, and/or Business Analyst experience in agile delivery, including 2+ years in a blended or dual-capacity role.
• SAFe certification - SAFe Agilist, SAFe Product Owner/Product Manager, or SAFe Scrum Master - is mandatory.
• Hands-on Jira and Azure DevOps experience, including board configuration, work-item hierarchy, sprint setup, workflow automation, and reporting.
• Proven business-analysis skills in process mapping, requirements traceability, use-case documentation, acceptance criteria, and stakeholder facilitation.
• Experience working with distributed delivery teams and stakeholders across US and India time zones.
• Excellent written and spoken English for stakeholder communication, technical documentation, presentations, and vendor interactions.

Success In the Role

Success means establishing a reliable, transparent delivery structure for internal IT: a prioritized and sprint-ready backlog, well-run agile ceremonies, traceable requirements, clear delivery metrics, timely escalation of impediments, and trusted working relationships between US stakeholders and the Bengaluru delivery team
