For Alliander Telecom, we are looking for a Senior Scrum Master / Team Coach for the teams responsible for wireless telecom for Smart Metering and Distribution Automation. You will work in a technical environment with many external dependencies and frequently changing priorities. 

We’re not looking for a typical Scrum Master who focuses primarily on additional processes, tools, or rituals. We’re looking for someone who truly helps teams in their day-to-day work: someone who brings calm, structure, and focus, connects well with engineers, and provides personalized guidance to team members. 

What will you do? 

• You will support two teams in their collaborative efforts and help create greater control, clarity, and structure.  

• You guide teams in their work processes in a way that aligns with the realities of the job.  

• You coach team members, taking into account their varying levels of experience and need for guidance.  

• You will support the Feature Owners in the teams as they develop, organize, and plan their work.  

• You help the team make the work concrete, clear, and actionable.  

• You bring structure to existing meetings and work arrangements and help teams stay focused.  

• You encourage a sense of ownership within the team and assist the Product Owner when needed.  

• You help teams effectively manage dependencies, disruptions, and schedule changes.  

What do you bring? 

• Extensive experience as a senior Scrum Master, team coach, or in a similar role.  

• Experience in managing technical teams.  

• A pragmatic, calm, and decisive style.  

• Strong coaching skills and the ability to build trust within technical teams.  

• The ability to effectively align the methodology with the realities of long-term development.  

• You aren't dogmatic and have a good sense of what a team needs at any given moment.  

• Experience in a DevOps environment is preferred.
