Senior Scrum Master

We are looking for an experienced Scrum Master to support two to three of our teams – someone who has handled complex situations, stays calm in ambiguity and genuinely cares about people. 

What you will enjoy 

• Being part of an international, multicultural work environment with motivated and skilled colleagues 
• A culture of open dialogue where every idea counts 
• Complex, interesting and challenging work that encourages creative problem-solving 
• A collaborative atmosphere where your contributions truly make an impact 

About the position 

We work in a scaled Scrum setup inspired by LeSS. Our environment is complex and evolving, and new challenges come up almost every month as we scale. You will help the team balance short-term outcomes with long-term plans, often in collaboration with waterfall projects and business stakeholders. 

In this role, you will 

• Make sure Scrum events (planning, daily scrums, reviews and retrospectives) take place effectively. 
• Help the team set clear sprint goals and make acceptance criteria and Definition of Done the norm. 
• Coach pragmatically: improve ways of working without dogma, and support team members in their personal development. 
• Work comfortably with both Scrum and Kanban, and help the team find what works best for them. 
• Remove impediments quickly, protect the team and help make clear choices on scope or timing. 
• Build trust with stakeholders and set realistic expectations early, using data such as velocity to guide conversations. 
• Act as the single point of contact (SPOC) for the team towards waterfall projects and external initiatives: triage requests, clarify dependencies and align timelines without overloading the team. 
• Partner with the Product Owner to keep a healthy backlog, refine scope and safeguard quality while respecting capacity. 

• 5+ years as a Scrum Master, including supporting more than one team at a time 
• A background as a developer, with a good understanding of the software development life cycle (SDLC). 
• Experience working with many stakeholders. 
• Practical experience with Scrum metrics, estimation and backlog refinement. 
• Pragmatic, flexible and resilient, able to navigate ambiguity and organisational change. 
• Confident and firm when needed, able to challenge assumptions and hold boundaries respectfully. 
• Strong facilitation and conflict-resolution skills, with clear stakeholder communication. 

Our offer 
Good remuneration, a challenging and international work environment, and the possibility to work with some of the best in the field. You will be working in interdisciplinary teams and you can always count on support from committed colleagues. We offer attractive employment conditions and opportunities for personal and professional development.
