Value Stream Coach

About the Company:

We're partnering with an awesome client on a transformative journey that will redefine how they work and deliver. This forward-thinking company is in the midst of a significant transformation, moving from traditional ways of working to Agile methodologies, with a focus on creating high-performing teams that deliver at speed and scale. With a commitment to building a collaborative, results-driven culture, they are looking for a Value Stream Coach to help lead this change and guide teams through a crucial stage of their transformation.

About the Role:

As a Transformation Coach, you'll play a pivotal role in the company's Agile transformation. Your expertise will help guide squads through the early stages of Agile adoption, ensuring they align with business goals and Agile best practices. You'll work alongside business leaders, product managers, and engineering teams to provide hands-on coaching and mentor squad members to improve Agile maturity, drive continuous improvement, and foster a culture of collaboration.

This is a unique opportunity to make a lasting impact on an organisation undergoing significant change, where your guidance will be crucial to their success. You'll work with teams across multiple value streams, coaching them through the nuances of Agile adoption and ensuring that they are set up for long-term success.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the Agile Transformation: Guide the formation and stabilisation of Agile squads, ensuring alignment with business objectives and Agile best practices.
• Coach and Mentor: Provide hands-on coaching to squads and stakeholders on Agile principles, helping them improve maturity and ownership.
• Navigate Change Management: Support teams through the organisational change process, using your expertise to help them adapt to new ways of working, especially during mergers or transformations.
• Foster Continuous Improvement: Track squad health, encourage retrospectives, and ensure teams are empowered to improve velocity and performance.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Work with tech, infrastructure and business teams to define and prioritise backlogs, ensuring alignment with strategic business goals.

About You:

You're an experienced Agile Coach who has successfully led organisations through Agile transformations, and you know what it takes to take people on a journey of change. With at least 5+ years of experience, you've coached teams through Agile adoption in medium to large organisations, guiding them through the ups and downs of transformation. Whether it's during a merger, acquisition, or a significant system overhaul, you know how to lead teams through uncertainty and help them embrace change with enthusiasm.

You understand that Agile is more than a set of processes it's about changing the way people think and work. You are an empathetic leader who builds trust, fosters collaboration, and leads by example. You're not just a practitioner; you're a coach and mentor who takes pride in developing individuals and teams.

You are:

• Experienced in Agile Coaching: With 5+ years of hands-on experience, you're well-versed in Scrum, Kanban, and other Agile frameworks, and have successfully led teams through Agile transformations.
• A Change Management Mindset: You've guided organisations through complex changes, such as mergers, acquisitions, or large-scale Agile adoptions, and you know how to help people embrace and adapt to those changes.
• A Strategic Partner: You understand how to align Agile practices with business objectives, ensuring that Agile is not just implemented, but embedded in the culture and operations of the organisation.
• An Empathetic Leader: You care about the people side of transformation, and you know how to motivate, inspire, and guide teams through the emotional and practical aspects of change.

Why You'll Love It Here:

Partnering in Transformation: This is a rare opportunity to play a key role in a transformation that will shape the future of the organisation.

Collaborative Environment: You'll work with a team that values your expertise and works together to achieve shared goals.
