Enablement Coordinator & Release Train Engineer; Agile — IAM Transformation Interim

Interim (full-time) | Hybrid Amsterdam 1-2 days per week | Duration: from July 2026 through at least year-end, with possible extension

Our client, a leading European Retail group, is running a large-scale Identity & Access Management (IAM) transformation programme spanning multiple countries and central platform teams. As Senior Enablement Coordinator & Release Train Engineer, you orchestrate the collaboration between the central IAM platform teams and the regional enablement teams across the Netherlands, Belgium, and the Czech Republic, alongside the central enterprise and HR platform functions.

This role sits on the operational and tactical layer of the programme. You own executional excellence and cross-team alignment, while the Senior Programme Manager you report into drives strategy, governance, and executive engagement. Together you form the partnership that keeps a complex, multi-country Agile programme moving.

Riverflex was founded in Amsterdam and London in 2018, eventually growing into a global team of consultants united by a mission to help courageous leaders drive transformative change. Today, we offer an integrated service through three service pillars: strategy and transformation consulting that Creates Change, talent services that Build Teams, and business-accelerating products that Augment Intelligence.
