  • Together with the other teams in the tribe you agree on an agile way of working
  • You can guide groups in challenging contexts
  • When facilitating, you’re able to keep sessions focussed and ensure they accomplish their goals.

  • You are a driver for change in your team and you play a big part in In The Pocket's business process improvement

Who you are:

  • Minimum 2 years leadership experience within a software development environment
  • You have a delivery background and keen interest in product development. We want you to demonstrate affinity with and real passion for software development.
  • People skills come natural to you
  • Your communication skills are excellent. This means talking, writing and listening (not necessarily in that order)
  • You are passionate about all things digital, including strategy
  • You are organized and composed, also when working under pressure
  • You think in terms of solutions, never in terms of problems
  • Agility has very few secrets for you
  • You are looking for a permanent position on our payroll.

Do you recognise yourself in the above? Then we look forward meeting you!
