- Contribute to the Agile Community of Practice (CoP), sharing Lean-Agile principles and practical approaches.
- Facilitate key ceremonies and workshops, including:
- Retrospectives
- Story and value stream mapping

- Product alignment sessions
- Ensure synchronisation between team-of-teams and Agile cadences.
- Maintain visibility of critical risks, dependencies, and impediments across the delivery landscape.

- Foster a culture of psychological safety, collaboration, and continuous learning.
- Collaborate closely with the platform vertical lead to align delivery strategy with execution.
- Assess team health and maturity, supporting measurable improvements over time.
