Agile Coach

About the opportunity

We want a dynamic, charismatic, and resilient Agile Coach to join our forward-thinking company. As an Agile Coach, you'll be instrumental in guiding our teams through various stages of the product development lifecycle. Your goal will be to coach the individuals, teams, and the org towards their objectives using all the tools at your disposal. You'll use a framework-agnostic, “the team is more important than me” approach. Your role will be pivotal in fostering a culture of continuous improvement, outcomes vs. outputs, and problems and opportunities before solutions.

In this role, you'll:

• You can make a positive impact on individuals, teams, and the products they build.

• You put people first and value human interaction over process.

• You are a skilled communicator and facilitator who knows their stances. 

• You love optimizing and improving processes and workflows. 

• You have experience in helping new teams form, setting them up for success and helping them gel effectively.

• You embrace change and aren't scared of ambiguity or the unknown.

• You have a holistic understanding of how being (not doing) Agile is a great way to build products customers love to use.

• You drive change (not just observe it), deliver tangible cultural or ways-of-working improvements, and enjoy leading by example.

• You're experienced in enabling teams to make their work visible and outcome-driven. 

• You understand that building trust in your teams, senior leaders and with your peers is paramount. 

• You can work across more than one interdependent team working towards the same goal.

• You’re not afraid to deal with conflicts and can mediate them effectively. 

What you need to be successful:

• Coaching experience in a complex product led organisation. 

• The ability to manage and collaborate with product, technology, UX and functional stakeholders from Operations, Risk and Growth 

• Proven experience as an Agile Coach, Scrum Master, or in a similar role with hands-on experience in coaching teams across various industries.

• Strong knowledge of various Agile methodologies (e.g., Scrum, Kanban, XP) with a focus on applying them in a framework-agnostic manner.

• Excellent facilitation, coaching, and mentoring skills.

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, capable of working with cross-functional teams and engaging senior stakeholders.

• Ability to handle resistance to change and effectively guide teams through the transition from traditional to Agile practices.

Nice-to-haves:

• Experience working in a regulated environment like financial institutions is a big bonus

What’s in it for you:

• Accelerate your career growth by joining one of Europe’s most talked about disruptors.
• Employee benefits that range from a competitive personal development budget, work from home budget, discounts to fitness & wellness memberships, language apps and public transportation. 
• As an N26 employee you will have access to a Premium subscription on your personal N26 bank account. As well as subscriptions for friends and family members.    
• Additional day of annual leave for each year of service.  
• A high degree of autonomy and access to cutting edge technologies - all while working with a friendly team of peers of diverse nationalities, life experiences and backgrounds. 
• A relocation package with visa support for those who need it.
