The RTE’s major responsibilities are to facilitate the Agile Release Train (ART) events and processes and assist the teams in delivering value. The RTE will have a solid grasp of how to scale Lean and Agile practices and understand the unique opportunities and challenges associated with facilitating and continuously aligning a large development program.

The RTE operates across the full spectrum of stakeholders including individuals in the ART, DevOps teams, Product Managers and Business Owners, Agile leaders and Senior Management.

An ART can range from 25-125+ team members accommodating the Agile Product Development of one or more products or value streams

You will join the Delivery team with colleagues across Europe who work as RTEs, Tribe leads, Agile coaches, Project Managers and more.

As RTE, you will be a servant leader for the ART and will display the leadership qualities needed to lead a large Agile delivery:

• Listening and supporting teams in problem identification and decision-making
• Creating an environment of mutual influence
• Understanding and empathizing with others
• Encouraging and supporting the personal development of each individual and the development of teams
• Coaching people with powerful questions rather than using authority
• Thinking beyond day-to-day activities; apply systems thinking
• Supporting the teams’ commitments
• Being open and appreciating openness in others

We offer you

Operating at the center of events, you will have an active role in various decision forums, represent us to external partners and create a great foundation for further development. This position is more than what meets the eye. You will get the chance to push boundaries and influence your daily work. All as part of a caring and open culture where we live our values, work hard, have fun and operate with a long-term perspective. Because here opportunities arise and growth follows.
