Tools & Technology:
• Use Jira (or similar) to manage team backlogs and progress.
• Familiarity with SAP Activate methodology and integration points with Agile planning.
• Coordinate with SAP functional leads (e.g., FI/CO, MM, PM, SD) and technical leads (e.g., Basis, ABAP, PI/PO).

Required Qualifications:
• 5+ years experience as a Scrum Master in enterprise-scale Agile delivery.
• Experience with SAP S/4HANA implementation or major ERP platforms (SAP ECC, Oracle, Workday, etc.).

• Familiarity with SAP Activate methodology and traditional SAP project phases.
• Experience in scaled Agile frameworks (e.g., SAFe) and managing cross-team dependencies.
