Flow (Scrum) Master
Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, NetherlandsTech
Job description
We are Vandebron
Vandebron is the challenger within the Dutch energy market and is there to ensure radical transparency. At Vandebron you choose from whom you buy energy and where your money goes. We are pioneers, because at Vandebron we develop smart energy applications such as 100% green and smart charging. As an innovative Tech Scale-up, we strive to make the energy market even more sustainable. Our mission is crystal clear: 100% sustainable energy in the Netherlands as quickly as possible.
This is where you’ll end up
As our new Flow Master you’ll work at the Digital department. Digital is the department within Vandebron that is responsible for developing all the digital products that Vandebron offers to our customers and energy producers. The products vary from customer-oriented, such as the consumer website, to innovative grid-oriented products, such as connecting wind turbines, charge points, solar panels and batteries. Each product has his own development team(s), which we organize around value, flow and autonomy. You'll be the Flow Master (next to two other Flow Masters) of one of the domains, with currently 2 development teams each. The domains are Marketplace, E-Mobility and Energy Services. As a Flow Master at Vandebron Digital, first and foremost, you're responsible for helping the domain and its team(s) to reach their full potential.
Why Flow master and not Scrum master?
In order to evolve as a company, agility is key for Vandebron. We believe we can achieve this by being in a state of flow; constant delivery of value and doing the things you enjoy with full focus. This requires the right mindset, behavior, approach and support. Although Scrum is a very useful framework, we believe we need more to achieve flow and therefore agility. That’s why we choose to call it a Flow master as our intention is to optimize flow and not scrum.

You help the organization with adopting the Agile mindset and supporting methods (e.g. Scrum). You focus not just on the rules, but mostly on the values and principles
You guide the domain and its team(s) in becoming high performing through coaching, mentoring and teaching on how to achieve a state of flow
You nurture good team dynamics that include psychological safety and foster a participatory environment

You support the Product Owner(s) with effective product management practices
You coordinate and facilitate sprints and help the domain to have the right interactions at the right time; inspecting and adapting their product(s), approach and behaviors
You help individual team members grow and learn, and serve as a Vandebron representative in this
You coach the development teams in self-management and cross-functionality
You own and solve impediments that are in the way of the teams and that they can't resolve themselves
You facilitate coordination and teamwork between the different development teams
