Scrum Master

The YouVersion Scrum Master is primarily responsible for leading cross-team project management initiatives and developing solutions to progress software development efforts. This includes outlining the project tasks, milestone dates, status, and allocation of resources to stakeholders and other necessary parties. The YouVersion Scrum Master is also responsible for clearly defining and quantifying each step and establishing concrete deadlines for each project milestone and deliverable. This role handles all the complex aspects of the project, which may include very technical projects.

YouVersion was created by the local church in 2007 and remains a ministry of Life.Church today. At Life.Church, our mission is to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. Our team is committed to reaching people worldwide through innovative technology. And YouVersion is one of the ways we get to do that. Life.Church is a multi-site Christian church meeting in the United States and globally at Life.Church Online.

We wholeheartedly believe a daily rhythm of seeking intimacy with God has the power to transform lives. That's why YouVersion creates biblically-based experiences that encourage and challenge people to seek God. We hope everyone in our community is on an active journey to become who God made them to be, abiding in Him, and drawing closer every day.
