Scrum Master
Also written as Agile Coach, Delivery Lead
Facilitates a Scrum team's process — runs the ceremonies, removes blockers, and protects the team from interruption. Not a manager; the team doesn't report to them.
Think of it like
Like a referee who also clears debris off the pitch: keeps the rules and keeps the game moving, but doesn't play.
Junior or senior?
Junior sounds like
Runs the ceremonies as written.
Senior sounds like
Can describe a ceremony they dropped or rebuilt because it wasn't earning its time, and how the team responded.
Ask them
“Which Scrum ceremony have you changed or dropped, and what happened to the team afterwards?”
