What do we offer?
The Remote Functions agile release train consists of approx. 10 agile development teams focusing on software development to create a word leading mobile app experience. Our teams focus on “Remote Functions” of the app such as locking and unlock the car door, turning climate on and off or setting charging timers. We are now looking for a scrum master that can work together with two teams.

You will work in a creative environment, within an ART that is constantly implementing new functionality, where we focus on both developing the product but also the individuals. The teams that you will work with are working in the same area but for different platforms. The first team consists of software developers that implements and verifies the radio functionality in the car, both HMI and logic. The functionality is built on top of our android system and the tests are automated in the CI system but are also performed manually. The second team is working with the majority of the Infotainment functions in the current cars, e.g. navigation, entertainment, telephony, speech, carplay etc. In close collaboration with suppliers, the team improves and extends the existing functions and also solves issues reported by customers.  

We are organized according to SAFe and want to build empowered self-organizing teams that act proactively, take responsibility and strive to build a great product for the end customer.

What you will do
As a Scrum Master you will continuously work with coaching the Scrum teams, refining the team’s processes, facilitating Scrum ceremonies and removing impediments.
You will have a close collaboration with the Product Owners, Team managers and other people with interface to the team.
You will be part of a Scrum master community to share experience, ideas and contribute to drive change throughout the whole ART. You will communicate status, escalate and track issues when required and be transparent in documentation and communication.

Who are you?
We are looking for you who have B.Sc. or M.Sc. degree in Electronics, Computer science or equivalent with relevant experience.
We believe you have a very good practical and theoretical knowledge of agile principles. You have skills in servant leadership, communication and collaboration. You have the ability to lead teams, motivate and create confidence, and make things happen. You are engaged with a curious, open-minded and positive approach. You like structure and have things organized and well planned. Fluency in English is mandatory.
This could the next step in your development, do not hesitate to apply.
