Scrum Master

The opportunity: Scum Master (3 month Contractor)

As Scum Master Contractor for myTomorrows, you sit within the Product department, embedded within the product feature team. This is a delivery enablement role, distinct from Product Management (which owns vision, roadmap, and stakeholder alignment) and from the Product Analyst function (which focuses on market and feature analysis). The Scrum Master's mandate is operational: protect sprint discipline, keep the team of engineers aligned and accountable, and remove blockers so the product feature team can move quickly.

You will own the rhythm of agile ceremonies for the product feature team, help translate product requirements into clear, actionable technical breakdowns, and surface and escalate blockers before they put sprint delivery at risk. You will work closely with the Product Manager to free up their time for strategic priorities without compromising day-to-day delivery momentum.

Given that most of our team is located in the Netherlands, we only consider candidates for this position who live within commuting distance of our office in Amsterdam.

What you’ll do in this role

• Facilitating agile ceremonies for the product feature team - sprint planning, standups, reviews, and retrospectives - while keeping the backlog healthy and well-groomed.
• Translating requirements into technical clarity. Working with the Product Manager to break down product requirements into clear, well-scoped tasks that give engineers enough technical detail to move quickly and confidently.
• Tracking delivery and surfacing risk. You’ll flag blockers, slipping dependencies, and cross-team conflicts to the Product Manager early.
• Holding the team accountable to sprint commitments. Keeping the team focused day-to-day, following up on commitments, and maintaining delivery discipline.
• Supporting the Product Manager by owning day-to-day development coordination.

What you bring to the table

• 2+ years as a Scrum Master, agile coach, or delivery lead, ideally with a software development team building a product from early stages.
• Experience working in a regulated environment (healthcare, fintech) is a plus.
• Confident agile facilitator - you run ceremonies that people find useful and you keep backlogs healthy without micromanaging engineers.
• Strong communicator - you collaborate effectively with the Product Manager to break requirements down into clear, technically actionable tasks that engineers can build.
• Comfortable holding the team accountable to sprint commitments, with a proactive instinct for spotting and escalating blockers before they threaten delivery.
• Familiarity with software development concepts and terminology - enough to understand technical discussions and translate them for non-technical stakeholders.
• Proficiency in agile tooling such as Jira and Confluence.
• Organized and self-directed - comfortable owning the agile process for a team independently, with light day-to-day oversight from the Product Manager.
• Excellent English communication skills.
