- Location: UK, UK: Manchester (hybrid & flexible working)
- Requisition ID: 122420

About the Role
At BAE Systems Digital Intelligence, we support teams across UK national security and beyond by fostering an Agile mindset and collaborative ways of working. We seek a passionate Junior Agile Coach to guide our teams to success—whether they’re embarking on their Agile journey or refining existing practices.
This entry-to-intermediate-level role is based in our Manchester office, with flexible hybrid working options. We don’t restrict ambition: while Scrum Masters are well-known roles, our Agile Coaches are change agents, mentors and community builders who champion Agile transformation.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Junior Agile Coach, you’ll:
Core Responsibilities
- Mentor teams & organisations—guide Agile adoption and ensure teams thrive in complex environments.
- Promote Agile theory & practice—help stakeholders (from managers to developers) embrace empirical workflows to maximise value.
- Improve team effectiveness—by leading self-organisation, removing impediments, and facilitating ceremonies (e.g., Scrum events, Kanban workflows).
- Foster psychological safety—create inclusive environments where transparency, trust, and collaboration drive continuous improvement.
- Practice what you preach—live Agile values (not just rituals) to inspire trust and authentic change.
- Expand your expertise—attend conferences, meet-ups, and engage in Agile community initiatives within BAE.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key Focus Areas
Every Agile Coach navigates multiple roles, including:
- Scrum Master (classic facilitation)
- Kanban facilitator (flow optimisation)
- Scaled Agile coach (e.g., Scrum@Scale, LeSS, SAFe, Nexus)
We’re not looking for a 2-day certificate holder: our coaches are coaches first, experts by practice, and champions of evolution.
