His job is to help the team collaborate, overcome barriers during sprints, and achieve their goals.

What a Scrum Manager's job might look like :

The team is working on a mobile app. In the middle of the sprint, a developer reports that a task to integrate a new feature has taken longer due to incompatibility with the architecture. There is a risk of not meeting the deadline.

The Scrum Master organizes a short meeting. Together, they decide to simplify the implementation of the feature so that it can be completed within the sprint, and the additional tasks can be moved to the next one.
