Grimsby, United Kingdom DFDS Full time

At DFDS we are passionate about investing in creating fantastic customer experiences.

On this journey, we are currently looking for a Scrum Master, to join our Tribe full of skilled and innovative people here at DFDS in Grimsby. Could that be you?

Tech Moves us - Be part of the movement and play your part:
As a Scrum Master in our Technology & Innovation Division, you will guide and coach your teams, as well as the organisation on agile values and principles.
You will be challenging the status quo to promote a culture of continuous improvement, experimentation, and innovation. You will enable 1-2 teams within the same Tribe to create value in a sustainable pace. Your focus will be on supporting knowledge-sharing and understanding who our customers are, how our services support them, and how our work impacts them.

In your role as a Scrum Master, you will:

- Live and act by agile principles and values.
- Help the team decide on the most appropriate agile frameworks, techniques and practices for their environment and needs.
- Remove impediments for the team to make sure that they reach their objectives and deliver great business value.
- Coach and train the team to foster an agile mindset in everything that they do.
- Facilitate Scrum events such as Daily, Planning, Review and Retrospectives, when needed.
- Support the Product Owners in their effort to manage the backlog.
- Drive relentless improvement and create a learning environment with ongoing feedback and recognition.
- Work closely with Tribe Lead and Scrum Masters within the Tribe.
- Be an active member of our Agile Chapter with Scrum Masters from other Tribes in Technology & Innovation.

Turning the focus to you:
We think the strongest teams are built on diversity and inclusivity. Contrasting opinions, varied skills, and strong characters which brings out the best in us all. With this in mind, we think that your background into the Scrum methodologies and agile principles will also be varied, but we imagine that:

- You have minimum 2 years of experience as a Scrum Master.
- You know how to foster a dedicated team dynamic.
- You use active listening to build and enhance relationships and to support effective communication.
- You can mediate heated discussions and conflicts.
- You provide constructive feedback.
- You can be based/work at the Grimsby office.

Overall, we value your ability to collaborate and your aptitude to understand how work brings value to the organisation. We are interested in your approach towards driving change, engaging teams, and focusing on customer value.
