Vice President of Recruiting at Curate Partners

1. Product Coach more than an Agile Coach

• Company is not looking for traditional Agile Coaches.
• The need is for someone who understands and can coach product managers (not product owners) in modern product practices.

2. Deep Understanding of the Product Operating Model

• Candidate must be fluent in:
• Continuous Strategy
• Must understand that product teams own outcomes, not just delivery tasks.
• Teams consist of a Product Manager, Tech Lead, and Designer — accountable for discovery, not stakeholders or the business.

3. Must Be Able to Coach Strategically

• Teach strategic thinking, not just tactical execution.
• Help product managers evolve from “backlog managers” to outcome owners.
• Must have experience coaching product managers new to the role. (how would you guide them and what would you guide them on)

4. Real Product Discovery Knowledge

• Understand how to coach on discovery techniques:
• Opportunity Solution Tree
• Outcome-based roadmaps
• Understanding product risks and who owns them
• Must have experience applying these tools in enterprise environments.

5. Cultural Fit and Delivery Style

• Should challenge assumptions, not just recite frameworks.
• No “checklist coaching” — they want practitioners who think critically.
• Must value time, be aligned, and work efficiently with high standards.

How The Teams Think:

1. Forward-Thinking & Conceptual

• Must think beyond Agile — Agile is seen as outdated or insufficient alone.
• Product thinking is about changing how you build, solve, and prioritize.
• Looking for someone who sees and adapts to where the industry is going, not where it’s been.

2. Product as a Mindset, Not a Framework

• It's not about Scrum or SAFe or agile ceremonies.
• It’s about understanding the business model shift to product-centric thinking.

3. Strategic Business Alignment

• Candidate should know how to coach teams to align with business outcomes and customer value.
• Must understand how to navigate internal politics, especially between business and tech stakeholders.
• Can help orgs transition from project to product funding and thinking.
