Senior Business Agility & Operating Model Consultant (Active Secret Clearance Required)

The Scrum Inc. Consulting Group exists to help our clients achieve their business outcomes by designing and implementing Agile operating models that enable high-impact and sustained results. We do this by partnering with organizations to drive beneficial and lasting transformation, leveraging our deep expertise in organizational design, strategy execution, and operational agility. Our clients engage us because our approach is not just about implementing frameworks like Scrum; it is about transforming how organizations operate to deliver consistent, measurable value. Agility isn’t the outcome; it’s how you get there.

Role Description

We value your strategic acumen, execution capability, and ability to drive meaningful change as a Senior Business Agility & Operating Model Consultant. You should have experience guiding executives and organizations in designing and implementing effective operating models, balancing both strategic vision and hands‑on execution. This includes advising leadership on strategic and operational priorities, governance and decision‑making structures, and portfolio‑level agility while also working alongside teams to ensure execution. You are passionate about bridging strategy and execution, shaping the future of business agility, and driving measurable impact at scale.

As a trusted partner to our clients, we have a shared equity in their outcomes and your approach must reflect this accountability. Our consultants spend approximately 75% of their time on‑site with clients, though flexibility may be required based on client needs. When not on‑site, we remain engaged and accountable in a virtual work mode.

In addition to delivering value to clients, this role requires strong leadership in client portfolio management, business development, engagement profitability, and strategic account growth to ensure sustained impact for our clients and Scrum Inc. You will also be responsible for leading and developing high‑performing teams, mentoring junior consultants, and ensuring alignment between client needs and our consulting capabilities, evolving our offerings in response to market shifts.
