Role overview

What does a Scrum Master do?

Fast-moving teams need someone focused on how they work, not just what they work on. Marco's Scrum Masters facilitate agile ceremonies, remove impediments, and coach teams on iterative delivery practices that improve sprint velocity and product quality. Whether your team is new to Agile or looking to level up, a dedicated Scrum Master accelerates delivery.

What does a remote scrum master do? They facilitate daily standups, sprint planning, retrospectives, and demos; remove blockers and escalate impediments; coach teams on Scrum and Kanban best practices; track sprint velocity and burndown metrics; manage product backlogs with product owners; and foster collaboration within distributed teams. They work with tools like Jira, Linear, Asana, and Shortcut. A remote scrum master costs $1,300–$1,800/month through Marco versus $7,000/month for a U.S.-based scrum master.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Scrum Master facilitates agile ceremonies, removes blockers, coaches teams on Scrum practices, and ensures continuous improvement across sprints and releases. They typically work with Asana, Monday.com, Jira, Notion, Slack, and data visualization tools like Tableau or Looker, and are responsible for delivering measurable results that directly impact your business goals.
In the U.S., a Scrum Master typically costs $7,000/month. Through Marco, you can hire a Scrum Master from Latin America for $1,800/month, the Philippines for $1,300/month, or South Africa for $1,600/month — saving up to 81% while getting the same quality of work.
A Scrum Master should have strong proficiency in Scrum framework, agile ceremonies (sprint planning, standups, retros), Jira, coaching, and servant leadership. CSM or PSM certification and experience with engineering teams are strongly preferred. Marco's vetting process tests for these skills plus English fluency, communication ability, and remote work readiness before matching candidates to your team.
