For Alliander Telecom, we are seeking a Senior Scrum Master/Team Coach for the team responsible for the fiber-optic network. 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 the Fiber Optics Team and the various work packages in their collaborative efforts and help create greater control, clarity, and structure.
• You guide the team 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 help lighten the Product Owner's load when necessary.
• 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 ensure that the approach aligns well 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.
• You must be in the office at least one day a week.
