Key information

We’re looking for a Senior Agile Coach to help our Technology, Product and Data squads become more effective as Our Future Health continues to grow. 

This is an opportunity to work across multiple cross-functional squads, helping improve how we build products, develop software, collaborate, make decisions and deliver value. 

This isn’t a traditional Agile transformation role. We’re not looking for somebody to arrive with a framework or playbook and roll it out across the organisation. 

Instead, you’ll work alongside squads and leaders to understand how teams operate today, identify opportunities for improvement and help make practical, sustainable changes. 

You’ll work across a small number of squads at a time, spending enough time with each to make a meaningful difference before moving to where you can have the greatest impact next. 

About the role

Depending on the situation, you’ll: 

  • Coach, mentor and teach squads, leaders and individuals. 
  • Help improve cross-functional collaboration between Product, Engineering, Data, Science and other disciplines. 
  • Help teams improve flow, reducing batch sizes, slicing work more effectively and shortening lead times. 
  • Support squads in becoming more outcome-focused and self-organising. 
  • Facilitate workshops, retrospectives and difficult conversations that help teams make progress. 
  • Use qualitative and quantitative evidence to identify improvement opportunities and understand whether changes are working. 
  • Improve interactions between squads and other teams, reducing friction and organisational bottlenecks. 
  • Develop training, tools and practical approaches that can help multiple teams improve.

Requirements

  • Experience helping multiple cross-functional product, technology or data teams become more effective. 
  • Experience working in high-performing product and engineering environments, giving you a strong sense of what good can look like. 
  • A broad understanding of modern product development, software engineering and delivery practices. 
  • Experience improving outcomes such as flow, collaboration, quality, customer value or organisational capability. 
  • The ability to coach and influence everyone from individual contributors to senior leaders. 
  • Confidence moving between coaching, mentoring, teaching, facilitation and direct advice.
