Agile Coach – Ways of Working

Technology

Role title- Agile Coach – Ways of Working

Location- Melbourne

About the Role

We are moving from “doing Agile” to achieving mature, outcome-driven agility, supported by a new Product Centric operating model. As an Agile Coach you will train and coach our people and teams in practical skills, and help evolve the Ways of Working practices, playbooks and cadences that simplify processes and empower teams.

You will coach Technical Product Owners and Business Product Managers, onboard new teams (including partner and vendor-supported teams) into our Ways of Working, and apply pragmatic, outcome-focused practices that fit the real constraints of a regulated banking environment. The role also supports teams and leaders during the transition between operating models, including front-runner value stream pilots.

Strategic Alignment

• Pillar: Operate simply and efficiently

• Enabler: Streamline our technology foundations

• Tech priority: Unlock speed by enabling our people

Objectives and Key Results You Will Contribute To

1. Coaching and training to enable Product Centric continuous delivery

- Coach Technical Product Owners through the new Product Centric curriculum.
- Coach Business Product Managers on their role in backlog prioritisation and in decomposing Business Outcomes to Feature level, including defining “what good looks like” in Jira so teams are ready for faster delivery.
- Coach new and partner delivery teams in our Ways of Working, including Idea to Value, roles, decomposition of work, Jira estimation and sizing, hypotheses and experimentation, and MVP slicing.

2. Evolved Ways of Working supporting our new Operating Model

- Roll out the Ways of Working Playbook to 100% of teams, with 60% adoption by Q2 and 80% by Q4.
- Support adoption of the recent Ways of Working in two front-runner operating model value streams.
- Reduce multi-quarter Feature deliverables by 30% by the end of H1.




- Uplift Feature Delivery Readiness by 30% by Q2.

Key Responsibilities

Coaching and capability uplift

- Coach Product Owners, Business Product Managers, delivery leads and engineering leaders in product strategy, discovery, prioritisation, OKRs, planning and execution decisions.
- Design and deliver training and hands-on coaching that builds practical skills and moves teams from process compliance to outcome-driven agility.
- Onboard new and partner teams into Ways of Working, covering Idea to Value, roles, work decomposition, estimation and sizing, hypotheses, experimentation and MVP slicing.

Ways of Working and operating model

- Develop, maintain and roll out the Ways of Working Playbook, practices and cadences, and track adoption against targets.
- Support front-runner value streams and foundation alignment, acting as a pragmatic practitioner while teams sit between operating models.
- Simplify processes and remove friction so teams are empowered to make decisions close to the work.

Intake, slicing and flow

- Help business partners navigate front-door intake, breaking large multi-quarter requests into sliced, single-quarter, outcome-focused value drops.
- Coach teams on backlog readiness, Definition of Done and Feature Delivery Readiness, and use delivery and flow data to challenge over-commitment and make trade-offs explicit.
- Standardise internal service provider intake and resolve cross-portfolio blocking with consuming domains, using capacity modelling to safeguard Run and Change demands.

Measurement and insight

- Build and maintain Jira dashboards and reporting that track flow, predictability, dependencies and adoption, and turn them into clear insights and recommendations for leaders.
- Promote Jira data quality and self-monitoring so planning and reporting can be trusted.

Skills and Experience

Essential

- Proven experience coaching Product Owners and product managers at team and leadership level, ideally in banking, financial services or another regulated environment.
- Practical depth in Agile, Lean, Scrum,



Kanban and product operating models, with the judgement to adapt practices pragmatically within real constraints.
- Strong skills in outcome-based planning: OKRs, quarterly planning, prioritisation, work decomposition, MVP slicing and hypothesis-driven delivery.
- Hands-on Jira capability, including estimation and sizing, data quality, dashboards and workflow design.
- Experience using flow, capacity, dependency and predictability data to influence leaders and challenge over-commitment constructively.
- Excellent facilitation, training and stakeholder engagement skills, including working with GM and executive-level leaders.

Desirable

- Experience designing or rolling out playbooks and cadences as part of an operating model transition.
- Experience working with offshore or partner delivery teams.
- Familiarity with Confluence, Power BI, and AI-enabled productivity tools to improve backlog shaping and reporting.
- Direct Product Owner experience and customer discovery capability.

Qualifications

- Recognised coaching and Agile certifications, for example ICAgile Enterprise Agile Coaching (ICP-ENT), ICAgile Certified Agile Coaching (ICP-ACC), Certified Agile Leadership for Organisations (CAL-O), Certified ScrumMaster, SAFe, LeSS or Kanban certifications.
- Tertiary qualification in business, economics, technology or a related field, or equivalent experience.

Behaviours and Ways of Working

- Creates clarity in ambiguity and focuses teams on outcomes over activity.
- Constructively challenges assumptions and over-commitment with data and respect.
- Pragmatic and collaborative, balancing ideal practice against environmental constraints.
- Builds capability in others so teams can sustain improvement without the coach.
- Comfortable working across multiple teams, portfolios and operating models at once.

Measures of Success

- Ways of Working Playbook adopted by 60% of teams by Q2 and 80% by Q4.
- Two front-runner value streams operating with the new Ways of Working by Q3.
- 30% reduction in multi-quarter Feature deliverables by end of H1.
