Agility Consultant - GC1726-09

Overview:

• The client is looking for a senior agile coach, attached to the Agile Center of Excellence, to embed an agile delivery culture across multiple value streams.
  
• The mandate relies on the Beneva Value Creation System (BVCS), inspired by SAFe, which puts the train-level experience at the heart of the qualification.
  
• The role combines three aspects: coaching people and teams (PO, SM, RTE, managers), measuring and improving flow through data, and contributing to the CoE's service offerings.
  
• The requirement for IT development experience, combined with support for CI/CD practices, sets this mandate apart from coach positions focused solely on team practices.
  
• The list of interpersonal skills is extensive and mainly validated in interviews, but several elements can still be observed on the resume: train-level facilitation, influencing leadership without hierarchical authority, 'data-informed' mindset.
  
• Looking for a candidate: an agile coach with at least 3 years in this role out of 8 years of experience, who has supported one or more SAFe trains in a large organization, with a background in software development. Their resume shows coaching of roles (PO, SM, RTE, managers) and flow metrics used to drive continuous improvement, not just facilitating ceremonies.

• Software development experience
  
• Mastery of Agile delivery modes (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, Lean, DevOps)
  
• In-depth knowledge of agile methodologies and frameworks (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, etc.)
  
• Mastery of Jira, Confluence, SharePoint
  
• Interpersonal skills (psychological safety, emotional intelligence, communication, influence leadership, systemic reading, train-level facilitation, data-informed posture, autonomy building, critical thinking, innovation)
  

Asset:

• SAFe SPC certification
  
• Lean certification (green belt or higher)
