An Amazing Career Opportunity for an Agile Coach !!

Location: Krakow, Poland

Job ID: 42994

We are seeking a highly flexible and experienced hands‑on Agile Coach who will join our Agile Program Management Office (APMO) as we continue to mature our implementation of Agile and Lean.

You will be working across multiple international teams, guiding product owners, engineering leads, Scrum Masters, and business stakeholders in the practical application of Agile and Lean principles. This role combines strategic coaching across global teams with tactical SAFe implementation, working closely with the Release Train Engineers (RTE) to drive agile transformation and excellence – initially for our newly created Reader Business Unit.

You will be a catalyst for organizational and cultural change, working at both team and program levels to build sustainable agile practices that deliver real business value. Although the job might require stepping into temporary agile team roles to help teams that are early in their agile journey, this is not a role for someone who simply wants to facilitate ceremonies—you'll be expected to challenge the status quo, surface difficult truths, and drive meaningful change.

A key responsibility includes supporting or establishing a Lean‑Agile Community of Practice, encouraging consistency, learning, and continuous improvement across delivery teams.

• Supporting Backlog Management by assisting Product Owners/Managers with backlog prioritization, refinement, and ensuring readiness
• Assuming the interim Scrum Master role when teams require temporary support or during transitions
• Providing backup support and co‑facilitation to the RTE during PI Planning and other critical ART events
