Senior Scrum Master

Job Description

We are looking for an experienced Scrum Master to support two to three of our teams – someone who has handled complex situations, stays calm in ambiguity and genuinely cares about people. 

You'll be part of the IT organization powering Vattenfall’s customer-facing solutions across the Nordics.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to take solutions from business needs and ideas through development, go-live and continuous improvement.

Join an environment where technology, business and people come together to shape simpler and smarter customer experiences.

What you will enjoy 

• Being part of an international, multicultural work environment with motivated and skilled colleagues 
• A culture of open dialogue where every idea counts 
• Complex, interesting and challenging work that encourages creative problem-solving 
• A collaborative atmosphere where your contributions truly make an impact 

About the position 

We work in a scaled Scrum setup inspired by LeSS. Our environment is complex and evolving, and new challenges come up almost every month as we scale. You will help the team balance short-term outcomes with long-term plans, often in collaboration with waterfall projects and business stakeholders. 

In this role, you will 

• Make sure Scrum events (planning, daily scrums, reviews and retrospectives) take place effectively. 
• Help the team set clear sprint goals and make acceptance criteria and Definition of Done the norm. 
• Coach pragmatically: improve ways of working without dogma, and support team members in their personal development. 
• Work comfortably with both Scrum and Kanban, and help the team find what works best for them. 
• Remove impediments quickly, protect the team and help make clear choices on scope or timing. 
• Build trust with stakeholders and set realistic expectations early, using data such as velocity to guide conversations. 
• Act as the single point of contact (SPOC) for the team towards waterfall projects and external initiatives: triage requests, clarify dependencies and align timelines without overloading the team. 
• Partner with the Product Owner to keep a healthy backlog, refine scope and safeguard quality while respecting capacity. 

Qualifications

• 5+ years as a Scrum Master, including supporting more than one team at a time 
• A background as a developer, with a good understanding of the software development life cycle (SDLC). 
• Experience working with many stakeholders. 
• Practical experience with Scrum metrics, estimation and backlog refinement. 
• Pragmatic, flexible and resilient, able to navigate ambiguity and organisational change. 
• Confident and firm when needed, able to challenge assumptions and hold boundaries respectfully. 
• Strong facilitation and conflict-resolution skills, with clear stakeholder communication.
