Scrummaster / Agile Coach

The Data Quality & Logistics department within IT Systems Distribution is responsible for the quality and distribution of Rabobank's customer data. Currently we have six DevOps teams each with their own responsibilities and area of expertise. The team members have different skills like development, operations, design, architecture etc and work closely together to achieve their team goals. The teams are result driven, dynamic and working actively towards the HPO goals of our organization.

The Function
For the Data Quality & Logistics department we are looking for a motivated and highly skilled Scrum Master / Agile Coach to work closely with 2-3 of our scrum teams to help them with their agility. While the role is that of a senior Scrum Master, you work as an agile coach not just for the team but also help the organization achieve its agility goals to benefit the business.

Next to the more instrumental role (impediment remover, facilitator) the scrum master is the change agent (coach, mentor) as well as the servant leader (focusing on team needs). The scrum master challenges the team in its behavior and improvements, keeping the goal of team and department in mind. The primary characteristics of this role are:

• Impediment Addressor: Addresses and helps resolving blocking issues to the team’s progress, taking into account the self-organizing capabilities of the team

• Facilitator: Making sure that the stage is set and also clear boundaries are provided in which the team can collaborate. Facilitates the events ensuring they’ll achieve the desired outcome. Even more important: facilitates the necessary transparency by which true inspection and adaption can occur

• Coach: Coaches the individual with a focus on mindset and behavior; the team in continuous improvement, eliminating waste, improving team health; and the organization in truly collaborating with the team

• Servant Leader: Focuses on the needs of the team members and those they serve (the customer), with the goal of achieving results in line with the organization's values, principles, and business objectives

• Change Agent: Enables a team culture in which teams can flourish, and encourage the team to challenge the status quo

-Mentor: Transfers agile knowledge and experience to the team
