[Hiring] Agile Practice Lead @Stand Together

Role Description

As Agile Practice Lead, you will help us build an Agile practice from the ground up. 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.

• 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.

Qualifications

• 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 into executive-level insights without losing the nuance that makes them actionable.
• Experience building practices in maturing organizations. You are comfortable with ambiguity and know how to create structure without creating rigidity.
• Enthusiasm to contribute to Stand Together's vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect.

Requirements

• Experience designing Agile maturity models, delivery scorecards, or similar frameworks for assessing and improving team performance.
• Experience supporting platform, data, or enterprise technology teams, where delivery complexity is high and cross-team dependencies are the norm.
• Experience building communities of practice or other mechanisms for scaling knowledge and standards across a distributed practitioner community.
• Experience with AI-assisted tooling or automation approaches that reduce ceremony overhead and improve delivery visibility.

Benefits

• Enjoy a 6% 401(k) match with immediate vesting, flexible time off, comprehensive health and dental plans, plus wellness and mental health support through Peloton and Talkspace.
• Join a passionate community of over 1,300 employees dedicated to improving lives and driving innovative solutions to complex social challenges.
• Thrive in a non-hierarchical environment that empowers employees to discover, develop and apply their unique talents.
• Our approach rewards the value you create through competitive salaries and bonus opportunities, allowing you to share in the success you help drive.
