• Facilitate workshops and alignment sessions
• Support the move from project-based delivery to product and value-focused delivery
• Build strong partnerships across development, product, operations and leadership
• Promote psychological safety, experimentation and evidence-based improvement

What you’ll need

• 3–5+ years’ experience in Agile Coaching, delivery transformation, technology or product environments
• Hands-on experience as a Scrum Master or Agile Delivery Lead supporting software teams
• Strong knowledge of Scrum, Kanban and modern engineering practices
• Proven coaching, facilitation and conflict-resolution skills
• Experience using delivery metrics and basic analytics
• Familiarity with Jira and/or Azure DevOps
• The ability to influence without authority and work across multiple stakeholder groups
