Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced Agile Coach to accelerate the shift from traditional project management to data-driven, transparent, and collaborative delivery powered by the Atlassian suite (Jira, Confluence, Xray). You will act as both hands-on coach and change agent, guiding teams and leadership to replace PowerPoints, Excel trackers, and SteerCos with real-time dashboards, automated reporting, and modern agile practices

Key Responsibilities

1. Agile & Ways-of-Working Coaching

• Coach squads, product managers, and business stakeholders on Agile, Lean, and modern delivery practices.

• Facilitate the transition from classical PM to Atlassian-powered delivery: Jira boards, Confluence roadmaps, OKR alignment, automated metrics.

• Design and run training sessions, workshops, and team working agreements to embed consistent practices across departments

2. Atlassian Adoption & Evangelization

• Promote best-practice usage of Jira, Confluence, and Xray; act as the internal voice of Atlassian adoption.

• Partner with the Atlassian Administrator to shape templates, workflows, and governance aligned with modern ways of working.

• Onboard new teams: guide board setup, backlog creation, planning, reporting, and metric interpretation

3. Organizational Transformation

• Lead change-management initiatives to improve transparency and reduce manual reporting.

• Replace legacy methods with:

– Jira dashboards & automated metrics

– Confluence status pages & roadmaps

– Jira Plans for dependency management

• Embed Atlassian tools into governance and portfolio-level processes in collaboration with leadership

4. Collaboration & Enablement

• Work closely with the Atlassian Administrator to prioritize enhancements, validate configurations, and improve user experience.

• Translate user needs into clear functional requirements for admin configuration.

• Create and maintain training materials, playbooks, and onboarding guides

Required Profile & Experience

Core Experience

• 6+ years in agile coaching, delivery leadership, or transformation roles within complex, global organizations

• Proven success driving culture change and tool adoption at scale (hundreds of users).

• Experience in pharmaceutical, healthcare, or other regulated industries is a strong plus.

Technical Skills

• Hands-on expertise with Jira Software and Confluence: boards, workflows, dashboards, hierarchies, and team configurations.

• Ability to translate ways-of-working practices into Jira setups (templates, automation, reporting).

• Familiarity with Agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe) and their implementation in Atlassian tools.

• Bonus: exposure to Xray, ScriptRunner, Advanced Roadmaps, and DevOps/CI/CD visibility

Soft Skills

• Outstanding communication & facilitation – influence diverse audiences from team members to C-suite.

• Change-agent mindset – challenge old habits constructively and drive cultural transformation.

• Empathy & patience – support teams at varying maturity levels.

• Structured thinking – simplify complex processes into adoptable practices.

• Adaptability – switch seamlessly between hands-on tool guidance and strategic coaching

Expected Outcome

A transparent, data-driven delivery culture where:

• Teams rely on Jira/Confluence as the single source of truth

• Manual status reporting is eliminated

• Governance and compliance are embedded in everyday workflows

• Global squads collaborate seamlessly across time zones
