Agile Practice Lead
Stand TogetherAbout the role
As Agile Practice Lead, you will help us build an Agile practice from the ground up. Over the last year, a structured contractor engagement has demonstrated that dedicated Agile leadership meaningfully improves delivery predictability, team throughput, and leadership visibility across multiple scrum teams. We are now ready to bring that capability in-house, and the Agile Practice Lead is the foundational step toward that end.
This is a senior-level leadership and enablement role. You will own the Agile practice as a discipline: setting the standards, developing the practitioners, and connecting day-to-day delivery execution to our broader operating model. You will build and lead a small team of Scrum Masters, serve as the primary strategic partner to engineering and product leadership on delivery health, and translate what is happening across teams into insights that help us make better decisions faster.
How You Will Contribute
-
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.
What You Will Bring
-
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
