Junior Scrum Master

We are looking for a Junior Scrum Master to support our advisory team on a specific engagement. Our client is a London based organization that is currently refining how their internal teams coordinate on high priority projects. In this role, you will help facilitate the daily rhythms and meeting structures that keep work moving forward.

This is a fully remote position that focuses on clarity, documentation, and the steady removal of friction from the workday.

About the Role

At Olive Tree Consulting, we believe that management problems are often structural habits rather than people problems. This role exists to help our client adopt better habits in real time. As a Junior Scrum Master, you are not just a meeting facilitator: you are the person who ensures that decisions made in those meetings are recorded and assigned.

You will work closely with our consultants to bridge the gap between high level strategy and the daily tasks that make that strategy happen. You will be instrumental in helping the client team move away from relying on memory toward a reliable, written system of work.

What You Will Do

• Facilitate daily syncs and planning sessions for client teams within a remote environment.
• Capture clear, concise notes and action items, ensuring ownership is assigned to specific people.
• Maintain and update digital task boards to reflect the current state of work.
• Identify and flag blockers or stalled priorities to the project leadership.
• Help teams stick to agreed upon time limits and meeting agendas to respect everyone's schedule.
• Assist in drafting weekly progress summaries that focus on facts rather than fluff.
• Protect the team from distractions by ensuring the defined workflow is followed.
• Observe team habits and suggest small, practical changes to improve how information is shared.

What We Are Looking For

• A high level of organization and the ability to track multiple moving parts at once.
• Clear, plain writing skills with an emphasis on brevity and accuracy.
• A calm presence during meetings, even when discussions become complex or priorities shift.
• The ability to listen carefully and summarize long conversations into a few actionable points.
• Comfort with remote collaboration and a disciplined approach to managing your own schedule.
• An observant nature that notices when responsibilities are left unclear.
• Willingness to learn the specific frameworks we use to help teams operate more quietly.

Helpful Background

• Basic familiarity with Scrum or Agile principles, perhaps through a course or university project.
• Experience using remote tools like Slack, Trello, Jira, or similar project boards.
• A background in a field that requires precision, such as administration, research, or coordination.
• Previous experience working in a team environment where clear communication was essential.
• Interest in management theory and how organizations actually get work done.
• Prior exposure to remote work or digital project management practices.

What We Offer

This is a permanent, full time position that is conducted entirely from a remote setting. We provide the tools and support you need to do your work effectively from home. You will gain direct insight into how professional advisory firms solve complex management issues for notable clients.

The role includes competitive pay for the current market and the opportunity to grow your skills in project coordination and organizational design within a supportive environment.

About Olive Tree

Olive Tree Consulting Group is a focused advisory practice that helps leadership teams solve recurring management issues. We typically work on the space between strategy and daily execution. A team can have very capable people and still find that decisions keep reopening, priorities stall, or responsibility remains unclear.

These are rarely personality problems: they are structural habits that have not kept up with the company growth. We favor practical changes over large scale transformation programs. Our work involves looking at how decisions are made, how meetings are run, and how ownership is recorded. We prefer useful written notes and clear ownership over polished presentations and vague alignment.

Good advisory work should make things plainer and leave the team with a rhythm they can continue on their own. The firm is built on the principle that memory is not a management system. We help teams create the smallest possible written record to support their work so that important follow up does not depend on who was in the room or who has the best memory.

The goal is a quieter management pattern that makes the existing work easier to lead.
