Day in the life
Scrum Master
My name is Marie, I’m 40 years old so I’m one of the oldest people here. I’m a Scrum Master at Sweet Mustard and I've been working here for three years now. I’ve worked both on long- and on short-term projects which is very interesting and provides a lot of variety. Right now, I work for a customer in the centre of Kortrijk; it’s nice to keep in touch with the city!
I work with several teams so it’s a bit hectic in the morning for me. Mostly, the days start with stand-ups with all teams. I can check-in with everyone, discuss how they’re proceeding, ask if they need help … The best part about my job is working with all of them. There’s lots of interaction and that social aspect is what I like the most. I enjoy challenging my teams when they try to find solutions and I promote open and direct communication.
I encountered Sweet Mustard by accident, through a former colleague of mine. It all evolved quite spontaneously. I knew some people and talked to colleagues I could be working with. The process was quite nice, and I immediately liked the flat organisation. You could clearly take initiative and work independently here. The atmosphere is great as well, the people here truly make Sweet Mustard such a great place to work.
Don’t hesitate to come by but grab your chance. If you believe there is a fit, talk to someone who works here. Furthermore, just be yourself, that’s the most important part!
