The Role
By joining our team you’ll:

* Coach teams to use adaptive processes that support frequent inspection, learning and improvement
* Ensure agile events are purposeful, effective and continually improved to achieve their intended outcomes
* Support cross-team planning and coordination where work overlaps, helping teams align without disrupting local flow
* Use delivery metrics to visualise pace, identify trends and guide teams towards greater predictability and sustainable delivery
* Encourage healthy work-in-progress limits and steady flow to support long-term delivery at a sustainable pace
* Build strong relationships across delivery, product and engineering to enable collaboration and constructive challenge
Requirements
What you can bring to our team:
* Knowledge of Agile frameworks and the ability to apply them pragmatically based on context
* Experience coaching delivery teams to improve flow, predictability and value delivery
* Confidence facilitating team and cross-team events, with clear intent and outcomes
* An understanding of delivery metrics, including the difference between leading and lagging indicators
* A collaborative approach, with the ability to influence Product Managers, Engineers and stakeholders
* Familiarity with engineering practices and the ability to engage teams in conversations about quality, technical constraints and improvement opportunities
* A systems-thinking mindset, recognising the difference between what teams can control and where influence or escalation is required
* Strong relationship-building skills and a commitment to creating open, safe and constructive team environments
Everyone’s career path is individual and different, so this is just a guide. If your experience doesn't precisely match this, you’re encouraged to apply so that we can discover your unique talents!
