Kaizen Analytixis a global technology consulting firm that helps organizations unlock the full value of their data through advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, and modern data platforms. We partner with clients across industries to solve complex business problems, modernize legacy systems, and drive measurable outcomes. At Kaizen, we combine deep technical expertise with a collaborative, people-first culture focused on continuous improvement. Our teams work at the intersection of strategy, technology, and execution to deliver solutions that make a real impact.

The Scrum Master facilitates delivery ceremonies and processes across the Client's hybrid delivery environment — which blends Agile (Scrum), Waterfall, and Kanban practices — to support disciplined, transparent, and predictable delivery. Acting as a servant leader, this role removes impediments, coordinates dependencies across teams, and partners closely with the Product Manager to protect backlog readiness and work-commitment integrity across delivery methodologies.

The Scrum Master also serves as a key supporter of the technical delivery team, drives project logistics and resource alignment, supports the Client's ongoing migration to Azure Dev Ops (ADO), and champions adherence to the Client's governance standards and Agile best practices in support of the Client's strategic business objectives.

• Backlog Readiness & Delivery Partnership: Partner with the Product Manager to support backlog readiness, protect work-commitment integrity across Agile, Waterfall, and Kanban work streams, and drive predictable delivery outcomes.
• Azure Dev Ops (ADO) Migration Support: Support the Client's ongoing transition to Azure Dev Ops by assisting with backlog, board, and workflow migration; configuring and maintaining ADO boards to reflect Agile, Kanban, and Waterfall work streams; and supporting team onboarding, training, and reporting as the Client moves off its legacy tooling.
