Dojo Agile Coach

The Dojo is an immersive, fast-paced environment where clients come to practice the latest in agile, product management, leadership, and modern engineering practices with dedicated coaches. This is not traditional classroom training, but rather a place where coaches roll up their sleeves to guide clients through hands-on application of practices to their actual work. Our coaches embed with client teams, build trust quickly, and then guide them through hands-on applications of theory within clients' organizational systems (and constraints).

Dojo coaches are not disbursed amongst multiple teams like traditional coaching engagements. Instead, they are fully embedded and committed to helping a single team improve. Clients leave their current working environment to enter the Dojo, leaving behind their normal ways of working.

Your role as a Dojo coach will be to help our clients achieve their desired outcomes, joining your guidance, expertise and technical recommendations to co-own and shape their experience.

A key focus of this role will be helping teams start or evolve their AI adoption and AI-assisted testing practices. You will help introduction pragmatic uses of AI in security hardening applications, automation of business processes, and other incremental improvements that align with client goals.

The ideal candidate is passionate about unlocking the maximum potential of individuals, teams, and organizations through technical coaching. They have experience working in an agile environment, are comfortable co-leading with other coaches, and are used to working in team environments.
