Job Summary

We’re seeking an Agile Coach who can elevate product delivery and team performance while aligning ways of working to business outcomes, especially in recurring revenue models (SaaS/subscription). This role blends hands-on coaching, organizational change leadership, and a customer-centric mindset. You will partner with product, engineering, sales, finance, and customer success to ensure our delivery practices translate into retention, expansion, and lifetime value—not just velocity.

What You’ll Do

  • Agile Coaching & Delivery Excellence
  • Coach teams and leaders on Scrum, Kanban, and Lean—adapting frameworks to fit value streams and OKRs.
  • Facilitate team health assessments, flow metrics, and continuous improvement cadences.
  • Establish definition of ready/done, empirical planning, and evidence-based forecasting.
  • Stand up and refine Agile scaling patterns that reduce dependencies and increase flow.
  • Coach Product Managers/Owners on backlog strategy, hypothesis-driven development, prioritization by customer value, and lean discovery.
  • Business Engagement & Strategy Alignment
  • Facilitate cross-functional rituals (e.g., quarterly business reviews, PI/Big Room Planning, portfolio Kanban) that align stakeholders on outcomes, capacity, and risk.
  • Build shared understanding of trade-offs across product, engineering, sales, finance, and customer success; surface decisions early with clear options and impacts.
  • Create value stream maps to reduce lead time from idea → revenue and improve handoffs (sales → onboarding → adoption).
  • Recurring Revenue Model (SaaS/Subscription) Enablement
  • Coach teams to plan and measure against recurring revenue drivers:
  • Net Revenue Retention (NRR), Gross Revenue Retention (GRR)
  • Churn & Contraction, Expansion/Upgrades, Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)
  • Customer Lifetime Value (CLV/LTV), Payback Period
  • Embed customer value hypotheses into epics/stories and ensure outcomes tie to adoption, engagement, and retention metrics.
  • Partner with Customer Success to turn customer insights into roadmap bets and experiment backlogs; close the loop from usage telemetry to prioritization.
  • Customer Understanding & Outcome Orientation
  • Champion customer research practices: interviews, JTBD (Jobs To Be Done), journey mapping, usability tests, and product analytics review.
  • Operationalize feedback loops (e.g., in-app surveys, NPS, CSAT, feature feedback) into sprint/quarterly planning.
  • Drive hypothesis–experiment–learn cycles with measurable north star metrics (adoption, retention, time-to-value).
  • Ensure teams build outcome-oriented roadmaps (problems and measures first, solutions second).
  • Change Leadership & Enablement
  • Design and deliver playbooks, workshops, and enablement tracks for leaders, POs, and engineers.
  • Mentor scrum masters and delivery leads; establish a community of practice.
  • Lead change using organizational design patterns (cross-functional squads, domain ownership, thin-slice delivery).
  • Track and communicate progress through transparent dashboards and review cadences. Success Metrics (What “Great” Looks Like)
  • Faster Flow & Predictability: Reduced cycle time/lead time; improved commitment reliability.
  • Business Outcomes: Improved NRR/GRR, reduced churn, increased adoption of key features, and higher LTV.
  • Customer Impact: Better CSAT/NPS, shorter time-to-value, increased product engagement.
  • Team Health: Higher eNPS/team health scores, sustainable pace, fewer blockers, and handoffs.
  • Strategic Alignment: Clear line-of-sight from OKRs to roadmap to delivered outcomes.

Qualifications Required

  • 5–10+ years in Agile roles (Scrum Master, Product Coach, Delivery Lead, or Agile Coach).
  • Demonstrated success coaching multiple teams and leaders in product engineering environments.
  • Strong command of Scrum, Kanban, Lean, and metrics-driven improvement (flow, quality, outcomes).
  • Experience in tying delivery to subscription/recurring revenue metrics and customer retention.
  • Excellent facilitation, conflict resolution, and stakeholder management skills.
