Job Description

This is a 6-12-month W2 contract. It is a 100% remote role based anywhere in the United States. 

Our client is in the midst of a major acquisition and is looking for a skilled and inspiring Agile Coach to guide teams, leaders, and the broader organization in adopting and evolving agile ways of working. This role is key to maturing our agile practices, enabling cultural change, and delivering high-impact results across portfolios, programs, and teams.

You will serve as a mentor, trainer, facilitator, and change agent—empowering teams to improve flow, collaboration, delivery, and value alignment through agile principles.

Key Responsibilities:

● Coach and mentor agile teams, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and leaders on agile principles, practices, and frameworks (e.g., Scrum, Kanban, SAFe).

● Assess team and organizational maturity, and create tailored coaching plans to support continuous improvement and agile fluency.

● Facilitate workshops and training sessions on agile mindset, team dynamics, backlog management, estimation, and scaled agile practices.

● Partner with leaders to foster a culture of transparency, empowerment, servant leadership, and systems thinking.

● Support transformation initiatives, including agile at scale, operating model shifts, and cross-functional alignment.

● Identify and address systemic challenges (e.g., siloed communication, unclear prioritization, delivery bottlenecks).

● Establish and monitor key agile metrics (e.g., team health, cycle time, predictability) to guide improvement and transparency.

● Drive consistency in agile practices across teams while allowing for flexibility based on context and team needs.

● Coach at the team, program, and leadership levels to ensure sustainable agile adoption and maturity.

● Collaborate with other Agile Coaches and change agents to align strategy, share learnings, and build a strong coaching community.

Required Qualifications:

● 5+ years of experience as an Agile Coach, Scrum Master, or Agile Delivery Lead.

● Proven experience leading agile transformations or scaling agile in complex environments.

● Deep expertise in at least one agile framework (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe) and working knowledge of others.

● Excellent facilitation, coaching, and conflict-resolution skills.

● Ability to coach both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including senior leaders.

● Strong interpersonal and communication skills; able to build trust across diverse teams.

● Certifications such as ICP-ACC, SAFe Program Consultant (SPC), Certified Scrum Professional (CSP), or ICAgile Coach.

Preferred Qualifications:

● Experience in industries such as telecommunications or enterprise technology.

● Familiarity with tools like Jira, Confluence, LucidChart, or similar.

● Background in organizational change, lean thinking, systems coaching, or leadership development.
