You'll bring consistency and rigour to how individual squads work at every stage, and own the consistency of how those squads plan, visualise progress, and share their work. We're looking for someone with solid, hands-on coaching experience who's not afraid to roll up their sleeves and get stuck into squad ways of working and drive impact. You'll work closely with Product Managers, Engineering Managers, Product Designers, Software Engineers, Data Analysts, and leadership across Product Engineering. Rather than spreading thin across every team at once, you'll typically go deep - spending an extended period (for example, a quarter) embedded with one or two squads at a time, building the relationships and trust needed to drive real, measurable change before moving focus elsewhere., * Coach squads to embed effective agile and product-centric practices helping teams adopt dual-track ways of working so research and discovery run effectively alongside delivery. * Guide teams as they mature their delivery practices and adopt product-centred planning and prioritisation approaches. * Coach teams on outcomes over output, helping them understand whether what they shipped actually had the desired customer and business impact. * Facilitate team-level meetings (refinement, retrospectives, planning) as required as part of team coaching. * Help drive our shift left quality approach. * Eliminate blockers through creative conversation and become a trusted advisor to the teams you work with. * Offer insight on which metrics best measure team effectiveness and how to improve them over time. * Act as a catalyst for change and experimentation, embedding an agile mindset without imposing a one-size-fits-all solution. * Coach teams to build and sustain the habit of keeping their roadmaps, delivery plans, and progress clearly visualised spotting where consistency is slipping across squads and working with the relevant people to close the gap. * Own the cadence of cross-squad sessions (e.g. show & tells, team learnings) - organising, running, and iterating on them so good practice and information travel beyond a single team. * Spot where AI can genuinely speed teams up, and build that into their everyday ways of working. ## Related Videos - [ShapeShift: Reinventing Agile for a B2B SaaS Scale-Up](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1655-shapeshift-reinventing-agile-for-a-b2b-saas-scale-up) - [AI and Agility: The Dynamic Duo for Disruption](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2081-ai-and-agility-the-dynamic-duo-for-disruption) - [Shifting Stress to Progress— Understanding DevOps to do DevOps Better](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/268-shifting-stress-to-progress-understanding-devops-to-do-devops-better) - [Coffee with Developers - Cassidy Williams - ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/912-coffee-with-developers-cassidy-williams) - [Diversity as a Growth and Happiness Factor in Agile Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/862-diversity-as-a-growth-and-happiness-factor-in-agile-development) - [The user in the eye of the Cargo1492 storm](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/96-the-user-in-the-eye-of-the-cargo1492-storm) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Mastering Remote Work: Tips for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/558-mastering-remote-work-tips-for-developers) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Remote, Hybrid, or In-Office: What’s Really Best for Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/638-remote-hybrid-or-in-office-what-s-really-best-for-developers) - [Best Job Boards for Remote Work for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/290-best-job-boards-for-remote-work-for-developers)
