We're partnered with a large textiles business looking to expand with a new Scrum Master. As AI agents become active participants in the development process - writing, testing, and refactoring code alongside human engineers - the way teams plan, collaborate, and deliver is changing fast.
We are looking for a Scrum Master who thrives in that kind of shift: someone who can hold onto the core of what makes agile teams effective, while being genuinely curious and hands-on about reshaping it for a new way of working.
This isn't a role for someone looking to run ceremonies by the book. It's for someone who wants to help two teams, based in different countries, figure out together what agile looks like when part of the "team" doesn't sleep, doesn't take breaks, and works at a completely different rhythm than the humans around it.
What the Role Involves
- Facilitating the core Scrum ceremonies - sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives - across two geographically distributed teams, keeping collaboration strong despite the distance.
- Rethinking familiar rituals for a new context: when AI agents are completing work continuously rather than in daily human blocks, what does a "daily stand-up" even mean? The successful candidate will help the team find out.
- Guiding the team through new questions around estimation, velocity, and "done" - questions that don't have settled answers yet, given how differently AI-driven work behaves compared to traditional development.
- Supporting developers through a real shift in their day-to-day role: from writing every line of code themselves to defining intent clearly, reviewing and validating what agents produce, and overseeing agentic workflows responsibly.
- Building a culture where experimentation is normal and continuous improvement isn't just a retrospective exercise - because the tools and best practices in this space are moving quickly, and the team's process needs to move with them.
- Clearing a path for the team by removing blockers, including ones unique to this environment: agent permissions and access, infrastructure limitations, or specification quality issues that trip up automated work.
- Working closely with Product Ownership to make sure backlog items are written with enough clarity and testability that both human developers and AI agents can act on them without ambiguity.
- Tracking delivery in a way that actually reflects reality - recognising that familiar metrics like story points or lines of code may not tell the full story anymore, and helping the team find better ones.
- Building genuine trust and shared practice between the two country-based teams, so that both are working from the same playbook and learning from each other as agentic workflows evolve.
Your Profile
- Solid, proven experience as a Scrum Master or Agile Coach within a software development environment - enterprise or B2B software experience is a strong plus.
- Real, practical familiarity with agentic software development: AI systems that can autonomously plan, write, and test code, not just autocomplete-style tooling.
- A clear grasp of how AI-assisted and AI-driven development is reshaping developer workflows, code review, testing, and quality practices.
- Genuine comfort with ambiguity and fast-moving change, with a track record of adapting process pragmatically rather than defending a textbook framework for its own sake.
- Strong facilitation, coaching, and conflict-resolution skills - the human side of this role matters just as much as the technical awareness.
- A recognised Scrum Master certification, though the client sees this as a starting point rather than the full picture - this role asks for more than the standard curriculum covers.
- Professional fluency in both Dutch and English.
Nice to have:
- Direct experience working with AI coding agents or AI-augmented development pipelines in a live production setting.
- A background in change management, especially leading teams through significant shifts in tooling or process.
The Kind of Person You are (Beyond the CV)
- A fast learner who gets genuinely excited by new technology rather than intimidated by it.
- Hands-on and action-oriented - someone who leads by doing, not just directing from the sidelines.
- A true team player who helps build a supportive, creative atmosphere for people navigating a lot of change.
- Transparent and collaborative, comfortable working openly and respectfully across different teams, cultures, and time zones.
- A natural leader - someone who can guide priorities and keep coordination tight across two teams without needing formal authority to do it.
The Offer
- Real investment in professional growth, with ongoing training and development opportunities.
- Up to €6.5k, dependent on seniority/interview process.
- Full package including company car.
- Hybrid work with a brand new office near Bruges.
- The chance to help shape how an entire industry approaches software development in the age of AI agents - from the ground up, not as an afterthought.
