• Proactively drive large‑scale cross‑organizational changes, normalize discordant views, and drive stakeholder alignment from Scrum team to executive leadership level.

Process Optimization & Implementation:

• Help identify and remove organizational impediments that hinder agile adoption and flow.

• Promote engineering excellence practices (e.g., TDD, BDD, CI/CD, DevOps) and assist teams in their adoption.

• Promote data‑driven decision‑making using metrics such as throughput, flow efficiency, time‑in‑status, and defect trends.

Coaching & Mentoring:

• Facilitate workshops, training sessions, and communities of practice on Agile frameworks, product discovery, and flow‑based practices to foster continuous learning and knowledge sharing.

• Support transformation initiatives and coach stakeholders at all organizational levels.

• Facilitate strategic planning sessions and help align multiple teams towards common objectives.

• Act as a change agent, influencing mindsets and behaviors across all levels of the organization.

• Foster cross‑functional collaboration and actively engage various subject matter experts (SMEs) across the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) to ensure holistic problem‑solving and integrated solutions.

Continuous Improvement:

• Stay abreast of industry trends, best practices, and new developments in the agile space.

• Continuously refine coaching techniques and materials based on feedback and outcomes.

• Help establish metrics and reporting to demonstrate the impact of agile adoption and identify areas for further improvement.

• Analyze division performance, delivery patterns, and constraints to identify opportunities for optimization.

Qualifications:

• Solid experience as an Agile Coach or senior Scrum Master in a software development environment.

• Solid software development background as a Software Engineer or similar role.

• Proven track record of driving large scale (30+ Scrum Teams) organizational initiatives across independent product organizations.

• Strong knowledge of Agile frameworks/methods (Scrum, Kanban, XP) and scaling approaches (SAFe, Nexus, LeSS, or similar).

• Strong understanding of software development lifecycle and engineering culture.

• Very good analytical skills and problem‑solving mindset.

• Proven ability to analyze high‑level processes and delivery data to drive measurable improvements.

• Strong communication, interpersonal, and presentation abilities, capable of influencing diverse audiences, from individual contributors to VP‑level Executives.

• Ability to influence without authority and work effectively with cross‑functional stakeholders.

• Ability to navigate complex organizational dynamics and drive change effectively.

Beneficial Skills:

• Knowledge of DevOps principles and engineering practices (CI/CD, trunk‑based development, automation).

• Experience with EBM, flow metrics dashboards, and Agile performance reporting.
