About the Role
We are seeking a passionate Agile Coach to join our growing team in the UK National Security sector. Agile Coaches at BAE Systems play a critical role in guiding teams—not just as Scrum Masters, but as catalysts for embracing an Agile mindset. This Junior to Mid-Level role is ideal for those either starting their Agile coaching career or seeking to take the next step. Based in our Manchester office with hybrid working arrangements, you’ll help teams and organisations transform their processes to unlock full potential.
What You Could Be Doing For Us
You’ll empower teams to embrace Agile methodologies by:
- Delivering expert guidance on Agile tools, frameworks, and techniques (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, LeSS, etc.).
- Fostering an Empirical Approach—helping teams work collaboratively to drive value through transparency and adaptability.
- Ensuring teams self-organise effectively, removing obstacles to maximise productivity.
- Facilitating healthy team dynamics, creating psychologically safe environments where innovation thrives.
- Using emotional intelligence and soft skills to address challenges and enhance business value delivery.
- Acting as a change agent, community builder, and thought leader—going beyond training to embed lasting Agile culture.
- Encouraging continuous learning through participation in conferences, meet-ups, and community discussions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
