Would you like to take part in building the energy trading company of tomorrow? Are you motivated by pushing development forward? If so, you might be our new Scrum Master to join our IT team. Your main target is to ensure we deliver on our most business-critical IT initiatives.
InCommodities is built around data and automation, and right now, based on our new strategy with high ambitions, we are taking IT to the next level. We are transforming how we work with IT to keep technology as one of the main enablers of our future growth. This is an obvious opportunity for the pragmatic Scrum Master who challenges the status quo, brings a curious mindset, values learning, and is driven by succeeding through others as a team.
We will not be doing Scrum by the book but will apply agile principles and methods. You have experience with agile methodologies and have a deep understanding of when and how they can be beneficial – and when they are not. Based on that, you will be a driving force in establishing motivated and efficient teams by customizing the ceremonies and ways of working that make sense for the team in the given context. We have an overall quarterly framework in place, but freedom within.
Your journey as Scrum Master
When you join InCommodities, you do not just join a company – you join a journey! This is a newly established position within the company, and you will have the freedom to shape the role together with the team and develop the role over time within the overall planning framework.
We will make sure you get the best possible introduction to our organization and business. Therefore, you will start on our thoroughly planned onboarding program, where you will be introduced to the business, your team, and the organization. This will all be done together with the group of new colleagues joining at the same time as you.
During your onboarding, you will also be thoroughly introduced to your tasks, role, and responsibilities and quickly, you will manage your own projects, tasks, and areas of responsibility. We, of course, offer flexible working hours, so you have the best opportunity to manage a good work-life-balance.
