Job summary

ILIAS Solutions in the Netherlands is seeking a Scrum Master to keep defence software squads moving, run ceremonies, remove blockers, and translate Agile into daily practice. This permanent, full-time role is in a Spotify-inspired organisation (Squads, Chapters, Tribes) with a hybrid schedule (2 days on-site per week).

You’ll facilitate ceremonies, drive backlog refinement with Market Product Managers, and coordinate with Chapters and Tech Writers to align documentation with sprint goals.

Qualifications

• Up to two years of experience in an Agile environment, as a Scrum Master, Project Coordinator, Business Analyst, QA or a comparable role where you worked alongside or within Agile ceremonies.
• Working knowledge of Scrum and Agile principles, conceptual fluency you can apply in a real Squad, not necessarily a certification.
• Facilitation and communication skills strong enough to keep a room moving and surface issues without creating friction.
• Organisational discipline to track dependencies and keep multiple moving parts visible.
• Ability to build working relationships across multidisciplinary teams, including people in technical, product and writing roles.
• Professional working proficiency in English.
• Eligibility to obtain and maintain the required national or NATO security clearance for this role.

Responsibilities

• Facilitate Scrum ceremonies, Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups, Reviews, Retrospectives and Backlog Refinement, so your Squad leaves each session with clarity and a workable plan.
• Identify and remove impediments that slow delivery, escalating where needed and working with stakeholders to keep momentum.
• Partner with Market Product Managers on backlog refinement, sprint readiness and prioritisation so the Squad is always working on the right things.
• Collaborate with Tech Writers to make sure documentation is planned and aligned with sprint goals, not bolted on afterwards.
• Monitor team health and track Agile metrics, using what you learn to support continuous improvement in ways of working.
• Coordinate with other Scrum Masters, Chapters and stakeholders to surface and manage cross-Squad dependencies before they become blockers.
