Senior Agile Coach

We are looking for a Senior Agile Coach who will be part of a group of Senior Agile coaches connected to our LACE. You will join us in facilitating and enabling the Agile journey. The agile teams of teams/ARTs have different purposes, flow of work, and needs and we support/guide them based on principles from the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFE).



You will be allocated full-time or part-time to organisations inside, who are on a journey to become more value-driven and agile. Work can be both traditional agile coaching and targeted training and facilitation. Duration can vary from one-off short-term assignments to longer-time coaching assignments.

You will potentially also be included in our work in the LACE facilitating the overall transition. We do this in a “hub & spoke” setup driving the change through Communities of practice, local LACEs, and the line of businesses globally.

Some areas of the organization are already doing agile, some areas are novice to the agile way of working. The flow of work in the teams can include iterative development, kanban, and phase-driven approaches. It is key for success in this position that you can maneuver in your coaching with respect to the leadership and team characteristics - guided by lean agile (SAFe) principles and your common sense. You coach and facilitate to bring leaders and the organisation to the next level and not necessarily to have perfectness from day 1.
