Job Title: Agile Coach

Location: Gloucester
Grade: GG10

About the Role
We are looking for a passionate Agile Coach to join our team following continuous growth and success in the UK National Security sector. Behind great solutions are great teams, and our Agile Coaches are there to help support, guide, and coach them to success. In BAE Systems we don’t believe in constraining ambition, and therefore view Scrum Masters as Agile Coaches.
For this role, you will be based in our Gloucester office with hybrid working arrangements available.
What you could be doing for us:
- Our Agile Coaches help individuals, teams, and the wider organization to understand what it means to implement, adopt, and embrace an Agile mindset.
- Agile Coaches come armed with a deep knowledge and understanding of various Agile tools, techniques, and frameworks to guide a team or organization on its journey to unlock and achieve its full potential using Agile methodologies.
- Our Agile Coaches guide, coach, and mentor teams and organizations to embrace Agile ways of working to help them thrive in a complex world. Agile Coaches extol the virtues of an Agile mindset by being Agile, not just doing Agile.
- Our Agile Coaches ensure that teams and organizations understand and adhere to Agile theory and practices. The Agile Coach facilitates stakeholder collaboration, removing barriers between stakeholders and the team and/or organization. The Agile Coach helps everyone to understand and enact an empirical approach for complex work to maximize the value created by the team.
- At a team-level, our Agile Coaches are accountable for the team’s effectiveness. The Agile Coach helps the team to perform at its highest level as a whole team and supporting the process to enable it to successfully deliver value. They do this by promoting self-organization within the team, causing the removal of any impediments to the team’s progress, and facilitating the team’s events and ceremonies.
- Our Agile Coaches support healthy team dynamics by creating psychologically safe environments where transparency and trust are catalysts for change and continuous improvement.
- Our Agile Coaches have a people-centric outlook using their emotional intelligence and soft-skills to uncover and explore issues impacting the delivery of business value.
- Our Agile Coaches are comfortable in navigating complexity and happy to operate in a range of Agile capacities, including Scrum Master, Kanban facilitator/coach, as well as roles specific to Scaled Agile frameworks.
- Above all, our Agile Coaches are more than a 2-day certificate Scrum Master – they are change agents, community builders, and leaders in their own right. They are passionate to grow their craft, attend conferences and local meet-ups, and participate in the business's wider Agile and Scrum communities.
