Scrum Master Intern

Most corporate systems fail because they are built by technical teams who do not understand how a finance department actually functions. At Alpine Business Consulting, we bridge this gap by prioritizing the chart of accounts and the close process before touching any software. We specialize in fixing broken configurations and ensuring that data flows correctly through platforms like Oracle EPM and SAP BPC. Our partner is a major French retail company, and we are currently working with them to remediate their reporting systems to ensure their leadership has access to accurate, timely data.

About The Role
As a Scrum Master Intern, you will facilitate the daily coordination of a highly technical team working on complex remediation projects. This is a fully remote position that requires a focus on transparency and direct communication. You will assist our consultants in navigating the challenges of fixed-price engagements, where staying on schedule and maintaining clear documentation is essential. Your work will help ensure that we avoid implementation theatre and focus on delivering tangible results for our French retail partner. You will see firsthand how a finance-first approach changes the way enterprise systems are deployed and maintained.

What You Will Do

• Coordinate daily remote synchronization meetings to identify and remove blockers for the consulting team.
• Maintain the project backlog, ensuring that remediation tasks are clearly defined and prioritized.
• Assist in the creation and maintenance of a data dictionary to keep technical and finance teams aligned.
• Track progress against fixed-price milestones to help the team stay within the agreed project scope.
• Document changes to system configurations to ensure the client remains self-sufficient after our engagement.
• Prepare status reports that focus on technical precision and factual updates rather than corporate jargon.
• Help organize sprint planning sessions that respect the cyclical nature of the financial close process.
• Facilitate retrospectives to identify improvements in how we manage data modeling and system testing.

What We Are Looking For

• A basic understanding of Agile methodologies and how they apply to project management.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to keep track of multiple technical requirements.
• An interest in how finance processes, such as consolidation and reporting, interact with software.
• Clear, concise communication skills, both in writing and in remote meetings.
• High attention to detail when dealing with project schedules and technical documentation.
• A pragmatic approach to problem-solving that favors efficiency over rigid adherence to process.
• The ability to work independently in a remote environment while staying connected to the team.
• Familiarity with spreadsheet tools and a general comfort level with data logic.

Bonus Points

• Experience using Jira or similar tools to manage tasks and track progress.
• Exposure to EPM software like Oracle, SAP BPC, or OneStream.
• Basic knowledge of Power BI or other analytics tools used for corporate reporting.
• Understanding of SQL or how data is structured in relational databases.

What We Offer

• A fully remote work environment that values technical precision and clear results.
• Direct mentorship from senior consultants with deep expertise in finance and systems remediation.
• Hands-on experience supporting a major French retail partner on a high-stakes project.
• Paid internship with a competitive rate that reflects the value you bring to the team.
• Exposure to a fixed-price consulting model that prioritizes client self-sufficiency.
• A professional culture that avoids typical corporate theatre and focuses on solving real data problems.
• The opportunity to learn how to manage technical debt in large scale enterprise environments.

Our finance-first approach ensures that every project we undertake results in a system that works for the people who actually use it. We do not believe in open-ended billing or keeping clients dependent on us for support. By focusing on configuration accuracy and building comprehensive administrator training into every timeline, we help finance teams take full ownership of their tools. This commitment to transparency and technical excellence is what allows us to succeed in highly regulated industries and complex retail environments.
