Junior Scrum Master

Role overview

Gulf Associates is hiring a Junior Scrum Master to support a major project engagement with a partner based in Berlin. The position focuses on keeping workstreams organized, moving tasks forward smoothly, and making sure internal processes stay aligned with the pace of an important commercial initiative. This is a fully remote role in a small, specialist environment that values practical judgment, accountability, and clear results over theory-heavy approaches.

What you will do

• Lead daily coordination meetings and weekly planning discussions to keep delivery on track.
• Keep the project backlog tidy by making sure each task is clearly framed and tied to a business outcome.
• Partner with senior stakeholders to surface and clear blockers that could delay research or negotiation prep.
• Track team bandwidth so attention stays focused on the limited number of active engagements.
• Prepare concise progress updates for internal leaders and the Berlin partner.
• Introduce lighter, more efficient ways of monitoring progress without adding unnecessary admin work.
• Support data gathering and research by ensuring assignments are made and completed on time.
• Maintain records of project decisions so all parties have a clear reference point.

What you should bring

• A foundational grasp of project management concepts and how they help structure complex work.
• Strong personal organization and the ability to manage several moving parts at once.
• Clear, direct communication skills for written updates and video meetings.
• Curiosity about commercial matters and interest in how global investments and partnerships are put together.
• A practical mindset that values completed work and real outcomes over presentation alone.
• The ability to decompose broad objectives into manageable action steps.
• Comfort with change when project needs shift because of market developments or regulator feedback.
• A professional, grounded approach that suits a senior-led advisory setting.

What the company offers

• A flexible remote setup that trusts people to work with maturity and discipline.
• Exposure to high-stakes commercial decisions alongside experienced partners.
• Direct insight into how major agreements and joint ventures are negotiated and finalized.
• Competitive pay for the role, aligned with the current market.
• A chance to make a direct impact on project organization and client outcomes.

About Gulf Associates

Gulf Associates follows a model built around a compact team of specialists rather than a large pool of generalist consultants. The firm prefers evidence, commercial logic, and clear judgment over polished but empty corporate language. It works in a direct, results-oriented culture where honesty and delivery matter more than office politics. Because the company advises sovereign entities and senior executives on sensitive matters, the team remains intentionally small and each member plays an important role. Accountability and focus are central to how the firm operates.
