As an Agile Coach in our Technology & Innovation Division you will guide and coach teams as well as the organization on agile values and principles. You will be challenging the status quo to promote a culture of continuous improvement, experimentation, and innovation.

In Your Role As Agile Coach, You Will

• Coach and mentor in defining new ways of working that support the journey we are on and the mindset that will make us thrive.
• Facilitate that the new way of working is being implemented.
• Create motivation and take decisions based on available facts and feedback and drive new activities if needed.
• Ensure processes and tools are being used as intended within the tribe (most with a clear outset in Agile methodologies, but also some on basic project management best practices)
• Be the OKR specialist across tribes and the promotor of using the OKR framework alongside helping facilitating workshops etc.
• Highlight areas where we are not able to work efficiently (and be sufficiently comfortable in hands on working together with a respective team to improve collaboration, teamwork and outcomes in that area)
• Remove impediments for the team to make sure that they reach their objectives and deliver the expected value.
• Facilitate Scrum events such as Daily Stand-ups, Planning, Review and Retrospectives, when needed and where applicable.
• Drive relentless improvement and create a learning environment with ongoing feedback and recognition.
• Work closely with Tribe Lead and Team Leads within the Tribe
• Be an active member of our Chapter with Agile Coaches from other Tribes in Technology & Innovation
