Job Description

Scrum Master cum Business Analyst cum Product Owner

Role Summary:

10+ years of experience

A highly versatile, multi-disciplinary leadership role designed to orchestrate the end-to-end lifecycle of the Merlin AI product line. This position functions as a functional translator, bridging the gap between Schreibers business units (Supply Chain, Commercial, Risk) and the technical AI engineering team, while simultaneously running agile delivery cadences.

Key Responsibilities:

• Product Ownership (PO): Own, prioritize, and ruthlessly groom the Merlin product roadmap and Q4 use-case backlogs in strict collaboration with digital business sponsors.
• Business Analysis (BA): Elicit complex business problems and translate them into clear, technical requirement specifications, User Stories, and explicit Acceptance Criteria (Given/When/Then) in Jira.
• Scrum Master (SM): Facilitate standard agile ceremonies (Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Planning, Backlog Refinement, Retrospectives), remove engineering blockers, and protect the team's sprint velocity and commitment predictability.
• Knowledge Transfer Coordination: Lead the execution of the Merlin Transition Playbook. Coordinate the formal codebase reviews, documentation centralization, and shadow support timelines to smoothly transition knowledge from the outgoing vendor.

Must-Have Professional Skills:

• AI Domain Literacy: Conceptual understanding of Generative AI principles, Large Language Models (LLMs), tokenization, and vector data storage to effectively evaluate AI use-case feasibility.
• Agile Tooling Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in Jira Cloud and Confluence for project configuration, sprint monitoring, and knowledge asset mapping.
• Soft Skills: Master-level executive presence, conflict resolution, and change-management capabilities to navigate complex, cross-functional stakeholder landscapes.
