A Scrum Master oversees the use of the scrum framework during a team project. You’ll ensure staff are working together efficiently and deal with any problems that arise. Scrum Masters make sure effective communication occurs between team members and the project is progressing productively. You may train staff members in the scrum system when required.
Scrum Masters should have strong leadership skills and be able to communicate with a range of stakeholders. It’s important you are organised and can manage several tasks at one time. Scrum Masters should have good problem solving abilities and be able to plan ahead. You’ll need to understand project goals and ensure your team remains on task.
In Australia, a full time Scrum Master generally earns $1,920 per week ($99,840 annual salary) before tax. This is a median figure for full-time employees and should be considered a guide only. As you gain more experience you can expect a potentially higher salary than people who are new to the industry.
The number of people working in this field is likely to remain stable in coming years. There are currently 18,200 people employed in this sector in Australia and many of them specialise as a Scrum Master. Scrum Masters may find work across all regions of Australia, particularly larger towns and cities.
