We are currently searching for an Agile Coach:

The Challenge (Responsibilities)

• Coach entire organizations and programs - not just individual teams.
• Design and execute a multi-team agile transformation program with measurable milestones.
• Operate as a trusted advisor to engineering leadership - providing candid, data-backed input on delivery health.
• Design ADO structure for multi-team environments: area paths, team configurations, cross-team dependency tracking, portfolio-level visibility.
• Implement at scale: overall retrospectives, cross-team sprint synchronization, area product ownership, self-selection processes.
• Lead without authority - influence vendor teams, internal teams, and organizational structures.
• Design and implement a comprehensive metrics framework: flow, stability (DORA), quality, and backlog health.
• Shift engineering culture from output-focused to outcome-focused - and sustain that shift.
• Facilitate difficult organizational conversations: between PMO and engineering, between vendors and product, between teams and leadership.
• Build SM capability in others - mentor junior and mid-level SMs, identify gaps, provide structured coaching.

Your Profile (Requirements)

• Demonstrated scaled experience (+7 years) - not just familiarity, actual operation in or implementation.
• DORA metrics literacy - can explain what deployment frequency, change failure rate, lead time for changes, and MTTR mean and how to improve them.
• Experience challenging and changing organizational structures that block team effectiveness - not just working around them.
• Evidence of having built and sustained psychological safety on teams that were previously defensive or siloed.
• Ability to run executive-level conversations using delivery data - not status updates, constraint analysis.
• Facilitate all ceremonies fluently - no preparation handholding needed, strong outputs consistently.
• High-Performance Mindset: Resilience, emotional intelligence, and a focus on agile delivery.
• Technologist DNA: A deep understanding of the difference between "coding" and "engineering."

Languages

• Advanced Oral English: For seamless collaboration with global teams.
• Advanced Spanish.
