Overview

We are recruiting an Agile Coach to support a single delivery team within a UK government client. This role is team-level rather than organisation-wide, focused on helping a technically capable but historically under-structured team improve how they plan, prioritise, and deliver. The expectation is for a pragmatic, hands-on coach who can apply the right approach for the environment rather than rigidly following a single framework. This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys working closely with a team to establish sustainable delivery practices and measurable improvements.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with the delivery team to improve ways of working, flow, and delivery outcomes
• Coach team members and delivery leadership on effective prioritisation, planning, and feedback loops
• Introduce appropriate agile and lean practices, tailored to the team's context
• Help establish clear delivery structures without over-burdening the team with process
• Support the development of a predictable and transparent delivery rhythm
• Act as a trusted advisor rather than a process enforcer
• Collaborate with stakeholders while maintaining a strong team-level focus

Essential Criteria

• Proven experience as an Agile Coach role
• Experience improving underperforming or immature teams rather than inheriting high-performing ones
• Strong understanding of multiple delivery frameworks (e.g. Scrum, Kanban, Lean) with a non-dogmatic approach
• Ability to coach and influence, not just implement ceremonies
• Experience working in complex, regulated, or government environments

Desirable Experience

• Prior experience working within UK government or public sector organisations
• Background working with technically strong engineering teams
• Experience operating effectively within tight scope and single-team engagements
• Ability to balance structure with pragmatism in constrained environments
