Agile Coach at Affinity

On behalf of our public sector client, Affinity is looking for two Sr. Agile Coaches with extensive Scrum Master experience to work hands-on with mature Agile delivery teams.

Responsibilities:

• Foster the adoption of Agile principles and skills across teams and departments, aligning delivery practices with enterprise strategy.

• Coach Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and Agile teams to deepen Agile maturity and cultivate high-performing, self-organizing teams.

• Educate and coach teams and leaders on the uptake and adoption of Agile frameworks (e.g., Scrum, Kanban) tailored to organizational needs.

• Manage and facilitate Agile ceremonies, workshops, and other key events.

• Identify and remove systemic impediments to Agile delivery; influence leadership to support change.

• Develop and manage Agile growth and maturity backlogs, implementation plans, and success metrics.

• Deliver training to build Agile capability across the organization.

• Promote a culture of continuous improvement, learning, and collaboration.

Required Experience:

• 8–10 years of experience in Agile environments, including enterprise-level coaching and training.

• Proven experience with the Scrum and Kanban Agile frameworks.

• Must have experience coaching mature Agile teams—not teams new to Agile.

• Candidates must show experience helping long-established Agile teams refine practices, deepen Agile principles, and advance maturity.

• Experience demonstrating servant leadership and guiding mature teams through continuous improvement cycles.

Required Skills:

• Deep expertise in Agile principles, frameworks, and product-centric delivery models.

• Strong facilitation, mentoring, and communication skills across all organizational levels.

• Ability to influence change, cross-functional collaboration, resolve complex impediments, and drive strategic alignment.

• Experience with Agile metrics.

• Supplemental training on Agile delivery and/or coaching would be considered an asset.

• Advanced facilitation skills for leading Agile ceremonies, design-thinking workshops, and problem-solving sessions with experienced Agile teams.

• Ability to measure Agile maturity improvements and articulate how coaching actions improved team value delivery
