Senior Scrum Master

Not facilitating for the sake of facilitating. But helping teams collaborate smarter.

AI is changing the way we develop software. But new technology alone doesn't make a team better. For that, you need someone who connects people, strengthens collaboration, and truly drives change.

At adesso Netherlands, we are developing into an AI First organization. We are building modern software, intelligent data platforms, and agentic solutions. At the same time, we are looking at how AI is changing our own way of working.

That's why we are looking for a Scrum Master who looks beyond Scrum events. Someone who understands that Agile isn't just about ceremonies, but also about adding value, agility, ownership, and collaboration.

Your Role

As a Scrum Master, you will guide multidisciplinary teams working on complex software projects, data solutions, and AI-first applications.

You will help teams collaborate better, remove obstacles, and continuously improve. You are a strong conversation partner for the organization, developers, product owners, and stakeholders, knowing when to coach, challenge, or give space.

But you also look ahead.

What does AI mean for the way teams develop software? How can AI development tools and agentic workflows contribute to quality, speed, and collaboration? And how do you ensure that teams embrace new technology without losing their focus on people and results?

You don't have to program yourself, but you are curious about technology and understand how changes in software engineering influence and impact the organization, teams, and processes.

What will you do?

• Coaching Agile teams on focus, collaboration, communication, and predictability

• Facilitating Scrum events that actually contribute to improvement

• Identifying and removing impediments within teams and within the organization

• Strengthening collaboration between developers, product owners, business, and stakeholders.

• Contributing to the use of AI tools to more intelligently organize team processes, knowledge sharing, delivery, and adoption.

• Continuously improving flow, quality, and the way teams deliver value.

• Contributing to the further development of our Agile way of working within an AI First organization.

• Minimum of 7 years of experience as a Scrum Master in software development.

• Experience with multidisciplinary teams in complex IT environments.

• Strong knowledge of Agile, Scrum, and team development.

• PSM I and II, CSM, or equivalent certification.

• Interest in AI, automation, and the changing world of software engineering.

• The ability to coach teams, product owners, challenge stakeholders, and guide change.

• Good communication skills in Dutch and English.

• Experience with SAFe, LeSS, or other scaling frameworks is a plus.

You don't need to be an AI expert. We are mainly looking for someone who is curious about the impact of AI on collaboration and software development and can guide teams through it.

The Team

You will join a team of about 25 driven mid-level and senior developers. We are large enough to deliver serious projects and small enough to know each other. Everyone has influence, and good ideas are not only heard but also tried out.

We apply our development expertise at renowned companies in the Netherlands. There, we build impactful solutions with Java and Kotlin, and we use AI to achieve the best possible results. We continuously explore how AI can make our work and that of our clients smarter.

Development is paramount. During our knowledge evenings, we share what we learn, and we attend (inter)national conferences annually to stay sharp. Additionally, we regularly meet for informal activities, because good collaboration starts with truly knowing each other.

Why adesso? Because you can truly help build with us.

At adesso Netherlands, it's about more than just technology. We build smart solutions that genuinely add value for our clients. No endless experiments or AI just because it's trendy, but technology that works and makes an impact.

We are part of the international adesso Group, with over 11,500 colleagues at more than 60 locations. At the same time, in the Netherlands, we are a relatively small and personal team, with short lines of communication, a lot of freedom, and room for initiative.

Large enough to make an impact, small enough to feel the difference.

AI First: building the future together

At adesso Netherlands, we are developing into an AI First organization. We believe that AI fundamentally changes how we develop software, work with data, and help clients.

That's why we look beyond individual AI experiments. We build intelligent data platforms, AI-first applications, and agentic solutions that become an integral part of business processes.

This also means we continuously innovate our own way of working. We embrace new technology, but remain critical: not everything needs AI. The best solution always comes first.

 
And perhaps most importantly: the people

We love colleagues who are curious, share knowledge, and help each other grow. People who are good at their craft, but also enjoy collaboration. You will receive trust, responsibility, and the freedom to actually implement ideas.

What do you get from us?

• A salary of €4,500 to €5,750, depending on your knowledge and experience;

• 8% holiday allowance;

• Contract for 32 to 40 hours per week;

• A lease car or mobility allowance on top of your salary;

• 27 vacation days and 4 study days;

• €3,600 personal development budget per year and room for certifications;

• Hybrid working with flexible working hours;

• Good pension scheme;

• Growth opportunities;

• International knowledge and development opportunities, combined with a close-knit Dutch team.
