Vice President of Recruiting at Curate Partners1. Product Coach more than an Agile Coach
- Company is not looking for traditional Agile Coaches.
- The need is for someone who understands and can coach product managers (not product owners) in modern product practices.
2. Deep Understanding of the Product Operating Model
- Candidate must be fluent in:
- Continuous Strategy
- Must understand that product teams own outcomes, not just delivery tasks.
- Teams consist of a Product Manager, Tech Lead, and Designer — accountable for discovery, not stakeholders or the business.
3. Must Be Able to Coach Strategically
- Teach strategic thinking, not just tactical execution.
- Help product managers evolve from “backlog managers” to outcome owners.
- Must have experience coaching product managers new to the role. (how would you guide them and what would you guide them on)
4. Real Product Discovery Knowledge
- Understand how to coach on discovery techniques:
- Opportunity Solution Tree
- Outcome-based roadmaps
- Understanding product risks and who owns them
- Must have experience applying these tools in enterprise environments.
5. Cultural Fit and Delivery Style
- Should challenge assumptions, not just recite frameworks.
- No “checklist coaching” — they want practitioners who think critically.
- Must value time, be aligned, and work efficiently with high standards.
How The Teams Think:
1. Forward-Thinking & Conceptual
- Must think beyond Agile — Agile is seen as outdated or insufficient alone.
- Product thinking is about changing how you build, solve, and prioritize.
- Looking for someone who sees and adapts to where the industry is going, not where it’s been.
2. Product as a Mindset, Not a Framework
- It's not about Scrum or SAFe or agile ceremonies.
- It’s about understanding the business model shift to product-centric thinking.
3. Strategic Business Alignment
- Candidate should know how to coach teams to align with business outcomes and customer value.
- Must understand how to navigate internal politics, especially between business and tech stakeholders.
- Can help orgs transition from project to product funding and thinking.
