Senior Scrum Master - Energy Sector - Brussels - Freelance / CDI

Summary

To support the transformation to a product-centric organisation and operating model, our client is seeking seasoned Scrum Masters with proven experience in a scaled agile environment (preferably LeSS). You will guide two teams through the change from component to newly-formed cross-functional feature teams, and inspire and coach Scrum Masters from other teams (former team & project leaders with limited experience in scaled agile environments).

About the Role

As Scrum Master for a Gas Flow Management (GFM) product team, you will serve as a key enabler of team performance, fostering an agile mindset and supporting the delivery of digital solutions that underpin core commercial and operational processes. You will coach teams and stakeholders to inspect and adapt effectively, foster self-management, and help simplify organisational structures and processes to support feature teams. You will guide teams and Product Owners in practicing Scrum across multiple teams working on one product. This is an opportunity to contribute to the long-term evolution of a critical product that supports gas flow management for multiple Transmission System Operators (TSOs) across Europe.
