Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education (ISKME)

**Description**
The Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education (), an education non-profit, seeks a full-time employee to join our services team, as Scrum Master and Service Manager, supporting our service partners and product team. As an organization ISKME seeks to make education available to all, breaking down barriers to learning through open access digital libraries, professional learning, and educational research studies. The chosen candidate will join our team of developers, product owners, project managers, designers, and librarian staff to ensure that our partner libraries are built in alignment with our organizational purpose and within our prescribed scrum practices.

The ISKME OER Services team supports a breadth of users and site implementations, all in service of educators and making their work more effective and efficient. ISKME has a collaborative culture, and the candidate should be comfortable providing and receiving feedback on work, and inspiring creative problem solving.

In this hybrid position, the candidate will bring additional field insights to the team and convey new feature requests to Product Owner (PO). This position will report to the Director of OER Services, and work closely with the Product Owner to manage priorities and milestones on a day to day basis.

This position will run the prescribed scrum ceremonies, ensuring that our platform engineering team is focused, removing obstacles as they are identified, and ensuring an adherence to agile practice.
