Scrum MasterSummary
We are looking for a talented and energetic Scrum Master with knowledge of agile methodologies who is looking to develop their skills within the gaming industry. Joining a group of vibrant and fast paced teams, you will be responsible for assisting the Producer for delivering games features that will transform our titles and will drive our continued success.
This is an opportunity for a Scrum Master to help us to have a big impact on our current and future titles. This person will work directly with a Producer along with many different disciplines, internal and external team, and will have exposure to top grossing titles.What You'll Do
- Each team has its own intricacies, so you’ll become an expert in managing subtly different agile processes, running scrum ceremonies and enabling those teams to deliver to their maximum potential.
- We are a JIRA house, so you’ll be an SME and contribute to maintaining a well-defined process.
- Delivering incrementally developed features is key to our success, but looking forward to what comes next is just as critical. Road-mapping and planning ahead is important, and you’ll be actively encouraged to spot gaps or suggest ideas on projects that will help us to continue to deliver excellence and growth.
- There is no I in team, getting the best out of our collective is crucial. You will assist in everyone’s development, removing roadblocks and holding teams accountable for their commitments.
- Work should be fun, not a chore, being part of an open and light-hearted environment helps us all deliver together!
What We're Looking For
Essential:
- You should be passionate and have an understanding of agile methodologies, as you’ll be getting involved in running day to day ceremonies and evolving what agile means to us.
- Worked on a live game (any platform) with an understanding of the games industry and knowledge of mobile games.
- You’ll be flexible, self motivated and team-orientated.
- Have strong communication skills
- Worked with multi-disciplined teams, including artists, designers, developers and product specialists, both internally and as third-parties.
- You will be able to differentiate between a tech and non-tech audience, tailoring your approach to each and ensuring everyone is on the same page.
- Skilled in using Jira.
- Naturally analytical, you’ll have great planning and organisational skills and an ability to prioritize and assist the producer to manage competing demands with attention to detail and a focus on execution.
- Certified Scrum Master with Scrum Alliance, Scrum.org, PMI or similar.
Nice to Have:
- Experience on F2P mobile or social gaming
- Experience in creating and planning roadmaps
- Knowledge of updating tasks, risks registers, and project timelines

Why Product Madness ?
Product Madness is so much more than just a Pool table and a foosball game.
We believe in an honest and transparent approach with our teammates. Company wide weekly Town Halls, All Hands and strategy meetings are just a few ways in which we encourage an open and honest path to achieving complete transparency.
Despite a pandemic, there isn’t a day where we don’t feel connected to one another.
With frequent events, workshops, giveaways, slack coffee and donut sessions we have definitely brought on our office culture to this new virtual world of zoom calls.
We love to organize plenty of social get-togethers and action-packed activity days, be it slipping inside an inflatable bumper ball for a mad session of football zorbing or throwing caution to the wind and traversing giddy treetop rope courses at Go Ape. On top of these team-building activities, our lunch and learn workshops, not to mention the lavish Christmas and summer parties, foster that ‘work hard, play hard’ mantra. Our offices are based in the heart of the metropolises of London, Lviv, Barcelona and Gdańsk surrounded by an abundance of diversity and inspiration to keep those ideas flowing."
