Job description

Why We Stand Out

Seeking a career-defining opportunity where your leadership, strategic vision, and client expertise are recognized and rewarded? Kaufman Rossin might be just the place for you.

As one of the top accounting firms in the country, our foundation is "people first." In the words of James Kaufman, "we prioritize our people, their development, and their well-being. Our values are translated into action every day."

Kaufman Rossin is a privately owned, independent public accounting firm, which means we are not beholden to outside investors or private equity influence. This independence allows us to prioritize long-term client relationships, maintain objectivity in our advisory approach, and make strategic decisions that benefit our people and clients, not external stakeholders. Our structure fosters agility, entrepreneurial thinking, and a collaborative culture where leadership is accessible, and innovation is encouraged.

Celebrated as the Best Place to Work in South Florida over a dozen times, Kaufman Rossin has grown to over 700 employees, with offices spanning the tri-county area, including sister entities Kaufman Rossin Wealth and Kaufman Rossin Alternative Investment Services.

Think you have what it takes?

Kaufman Rossin is seeking a Hybrid Scrum Master and Product Owner to join our growing Information Technology team.

• Partner with business and technology stakeholders to gather requirements and establish product direction
• Serve as the primary decision maker regarding product scope and priorities
• Lead backlog refinement sessions to ensure work is estimated, technically understood, and free from ambiguity

Scrum Leadership

• Facilitate sprint planning, daily standups, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and other Agile ceremonies
• Configure and maintain Jira and Azure DevOps boards, workflows, automation rules, dashboards, and work item hierarchies
• Remove impediments and protect sprint commitments across multiple delivery teams
• Track and report velocity, burndown, cycle time, and cumulative flow
• Coach teams on Agile principles and delivery best practices
• Translate retrospective feedback into measurable improvement actions

Global Team Coordination

• Serve as the primary Agile coordinator between stakeholders in the United States and KR's Bengaluru delivery team
• Align sprint schedules, ceremonies, priorities, and deliverables across time zones
• Ensure delivery teams remain informed, supported, aligned, and focused
• Partner with the PMO Lead to apply SAFe principles across strategic initiatives
• Connect planning activities, program increment goals, and delivery roadmaps

How You'll Stand Out

• Five or more years of experience as a Scrum Master, Product Owner, or both
• At least two years of experience in a blended Scrum Master and Product Owner role
• Hands on experience configuring and managing Jira and Azure DevOps
• Experience with boards, workflows, sprint structures, automation rules, dashboards, and work item hierarchies
• Current SAFe certification, such as SAFe Agilist, SAFe Product Owner and Product Manager, or SAFe Scrum Master
• CSM, PSM, CSPO, or PSPO certification strongly preferred
