Agile Coach (FTC)

About This Opportunity

Our talent team is representing a confidential UK-based marketplace organization in their search for an Agile Coach on a 12-month fixed-term contract. This is a remote-first opportunity for someone who can truly embed with product engineering teams and drive meaningful change.

This role goes beyond ceremony facilitation. You'll work deeply with cross-functional squads—spending extended periods (such as a full quarter) embedded with one or two teams at a time, building the trust and relationships needed to transform how they discover, deliver, and measure impact. You'll coach teams through dual-track development, shift-left quality practices, and the critical transition from output-focused to outcome-driven ways of working.

Responsibilities

• Coach product engineering squads to embed effective agile and product-centric practices, including dual-track ways of working where discovery runs alongside delivery
• Guide teams as they mature their delivery practices and adopt product-centered planning and prioritization approaches
• Coach teams on outcomes over output, helping them understand whether shipped features achieved the desired customer and business impact
• Facilitate team-level meetings including refinement, retrospectives, and planning sessions as part of team coaching
• Help drive shift-left quality approaches and eliminate blockers through creative conversation
• Act as a catalyst for change and experimentation, embedding an agile mindset without imposing rigid frameworks
• Coach teams to maintain clear visualization of roadmaps, delivery plans, and progress, ensuring consistency across squads
• Own the cadence of cross-squad sessions such as show-and-tells and team learnings, ensuring knowledge travels beyond individual teams
• Identify opportunities where AI can genuinely accelerate team effectiveness and integrate these into daily workflows

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience as an Agile Coach working with cross-functional, self-organizing teams
• Background in fast-paced, customer-centric scale-up environments
• Experience in remote-first, high-performance organizations
• Deep understanding of Agile and Lean thinking, values, and principles
• Hands-on experience applying frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban, DevOps, and XP, with a track record of combining approaches effectively
• Experience teaching agile practices including user story mapping, event storming, example mapping, and slicing techniques
• Track record of coaching teams on outcomes over output and continuous product discovery and delivery
• Comfortable holding people accountable to agreed team practices and working with team members to close gaps
• Progressive understanding of emerging agile practices, including how AI is transforming team workflows
• Servant-leader mentality with genuine passion for helping others succeed and grow

This role may not be the right fit if:

• You're more comfortable as a delivery or project manager than a coach
• You prefer fully defined roles rather than helping shape a new position
• Your experience is primarily in large enterprise environments with heavy process infrastructure
• You rely heavily on frameworks and certifications over understanding the underlying principles
