[Interim] Enablement Coordinator & Release Train Engineer

Enablement Coordinator & Release Train Engineer

Interim | Hybrid (Amsterdam-based, EU travel) | Full-time

Our client is undertaking a large-scale Identity and Access Management (IAM) transformation programme across multiple countries and business units. This is a complex, multi-team programme with a clear mandate from senior leadership and real security implications for the organisation.

As Enablement Coordinator & Release Train Engineer, you will be the operational and tactical backbone of this programme. You bring structure where there is complexity, cadence where there is noise, and clarity where there is ambiguity. This is not a background coordination role; you will hold real ownership over how the Agile Release Train functions and how enablement teams across the Netherlands, Belgium, Czech Republic, and other locations stay aligned and moving.

You will work directly alongside the Senior Programme Manager, forming a two-person leadership layer: they own the strategy and executive stakeholder relationships; you own execution, cadence, and cross-team coordination. That means genuine seniority, genuine autonomy, and a clear seat at the table from day one.

Responsibilities

Enablement coordination

• Act as the operational link between central IAM platform teams and regional enablement units across multiple countries

• Own the definition, validation, and tracking of work packages and cross-team deliverables

• Proactively identify and resolve cross-team and cross-regional dependencies before they become blockers

• Track progress in Jira and Confluence; escalate risks and coordinate corrective actions as needed

• Produce structured progress reports and milestone summaries to support data-driven steering decisions

• Run weekly alignment meetings with enablement leads, and maintain local trackers on progress and impediments

• Collaborate with the Transformation Management Office to embed consistent governance practices

• Prepare decision-support materials for the Senior Programme Manager and programme governance boards

Release Train Engineer

• Facilitate all ART-level SAFe ceremonies: PI Planning, Scrum of Scrums, ART Syncs, and Inspect and Adapt workshops

• Maintain cadence and synchronisation across all enablement and product teams throughout each programme increment

• Remove impediments and manage risks at train level, coordinating with enablement leads and programme managers

• Maintain a clear release calendar and roadmap aligned to IAM transformation milestones

• Enable transparent reporting through Jira, Confluence, and Power BI dashboards

• Mentor Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and Enablement Coordinators to strengthen agile maturity across the train

• Translate strategic objectives from IAM platform leadership into clearly scoped, executable increments for regional teams

Job requirements

• 5 or more years in programme coordination, project enablement, or Release Train Engineer roles within complex IT environments

• Deep understanding of IAM principles including identity lifecycle management, RBAC, PAM, SSO, MFA, and certificate management

• Proven hands-on experience in SAFe Agile environments; RTE certification (SAFe RTE, SPC, SA, or PO/PM) is strongly preferred

• Familiarity with governance and compliance frameworks, including PMO/TMO structures and reporting requirements

• Proficiency with Jira, Confluence, Power BI, MS Project Planner, and Microsoft 365

• Experience working in international, matrixed organisations with multiple stakeholder groups at different seniority levels

• A bachelor's or master's degree in IT, Business Administration, Organisational Change, or a related field

• Fluency in both English and Dutch is required (written and verbal)

• IAM or cybersecurity certifications such as CISM, CISSP, or SC-300 are a plus

• EU work authorisation is required for this role

Why this role

This is a senior interim opportunity with a dual mandate: enablement governance and agile execution inside a strategically important IAM transformation. The programme has executive sponsorship, a clear scope, and teams across multiple countries that need strong coordination to deliver. You will have direct influence on the security infrastructure of a major European organisation, working with experienced professionals in a SAFe-governed environment.

The role is hybrid, based in or around Amsterdam, with occasional travel to other European locations. Compensation is competitive and commensurate with experience, expertise, and certifications.
