Are you looking for a Scrum Master position where servant leadership is key? A position where you lead the team to achieve its goals by implementing flow, continuous improvement and a learning environment with ongoing feedback and recognition?

If so, we are looking for an ambitious and high performing Scrum Master to be part of a true retail success story.

WHAT WE OFFER YOU

• An informal and open-minded atmosphere
• Cooperation and sparring with skilled colleagues at all levels in the organisation and in the Scrum Master Community of Practise (CoP)

WHAT YOUR NEXT JOB WILL BE ABOUT
We have built a pragmatic framework based on the principles from SAFe, and you will be part of an Agile Team consisting of highly skilled, cross-functional colleagues. Your main responsibility is to ensure efficiency for your team and, at the same time promote, drive and inspire the organisation to adopt agile ways of working.

You will be the Scrum Master for Scrum Teams supporting HR within Employee Master Data and Workforce Management. The Team is not part of a scaled agile set-up, however supported by many of the processes, roles, artefacts and ceremonies.
