📋 Description

• Own the Agile practice: define standards, build playbooks, and ensure consistency of execution across teams. • Hire, develop, and manage a team of Scrum Masters; set craft expectations, support career growth, and maintain a high bar for the function. • Lead Agile maturity assessments across teams and translate findings into prioritized, actionable improvement plans. • Build and maintain a leadership-facing view of delivery health: normalized metrics, dashboards, and sprint insights that give leaders a reliable, consistent signal across the portfolio. • Serve as the primary internal point of contact for delivery model governance—connecting Agile execution to intake, prioritization, and cross-team dependency management. • Partner with Product and Engineering leaders to optimize and advance delivery team objectives. • Own Jira workflow standards, reporting integrity, and tooling consistency across delivery teams; ensure the data in the system is trustworthy and useful. • Identify opportunities to reduce administrative burden through automation, AI-assisted tooling, and process simplification. • Build a community of practice that elevates Agile craft across EIT and creates a shared language for delivery excellence.

🎯 Requirements

• Substantial experience in Agile delivery at a senior or lead level, with a track record of improving outcomes across multiple teams. • Demonstrated experience managing, mentoring, and developing Agile practitioners. • The ability to operate simultaneously at the strategic and practitioner level: you can set direction and model the behavior you expect. • Strong Jira expertise: automation, workflow design, backlog configuration, dashboard and reporting development. • Exceptional facilitation and communication skills, including the ability to translate delivery signals into executive-level insights without losing the nuance that makes them actionable. • Experience building practices in maturing organizations. You are comfortable with ambiguity and know how to create structure without creating rigidity. • Enthusiasm to contribute to Stand Together's vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect.
