The Opportunity


We're seeking an Agile Practitioner, Digital Products to own the training, implementation, and adoption of Agile practices across software design and development teams building digital products. This role operationalizes the Digital Product Operating Model (DPOM) by establishing fit-for-purpose ways of working, coaching product and engineering teams, and measuring outcomes that improve value delivery, predictability, and resilience at scale.

You will partner with Product Leaders, Engineering Managers, Design, Architecture, Info Sec, and PMO/Governance to embed Agile, lean product discovery, and flow-based delivery practices-ensuring the right artifacts, ceremonies, and metrics are in place from ideation and discovery through launch and scale.

Embedding the DPOM's principles and lifecycle at the team level is fundamental to achieving value, agility, predictability, and resilience in our digital products portfolio. The Agile Practitioner (Process Leader) turns the operating model from a slide deck into a system of behaviors, artifacts, and metrics that teams use every day to deliver results.


The Team


Black & Veatch's Business Enablement consists of critical groups that help enable the organizations people, projects, and businesses to be as successful as possible. Functions in this group include Digital & Information Technology, Global Finance, Global Human Resources, Legal, Risk Management, and Government Affairs and Real Estate and Building Services.


Key Responsibilities


Process Leadership and Governance

• Translate DPOM principles into actionable delivery frameworks (Scrum, Kanban, multi-track discovery/delivery, scaling patterns) tailored to product context; define lightweight, auditable controls that improve outcomes without adding friction.
• Establish and maintain the operating "playbook" (rituals, roles, artifacts, checklists, and decision cadences) that teams use during discovery, build, validate/pilot, launch, and scale.
• Partner with PMO/Governance to align product planning and sequencing with investment guardrails, stage gates/exit criteria, and portfolio rhythms.

Training, Enablement and Coaching

• Design and deliver role-based training for Product Managers/Owners, Scrum Masters, Tech Leads, Designers, QE, SRE and stakeholders; build onboarding paths and curriculum for new teams.
• Provide hands-on team coaching (stand-ups, backlog refinement, sprint/PI planning, reviews/demos, retros, flow-of-work management) and one-on-one mentoring to uplift skill and mindset.
• Launch and facilitate a Community of Practice to institutionalize learning, share templates, and evolve standards.

Implementation and Adoption

• Lead Agile readiness and "go-live" checklists across discovery, prototyping/planning, design/development, validation/pilot, and launch/scale; ensure required DPOM artifacts (e.g., PR/FAQ, JTBD, user research, business case, roadmap, SDLC/tooling, QA/Info Sec, WCAG) are produced with clear exit criteria.
• Integrate AI-enabled accelerators where practical (e.g., backlog generation, code assistance, test creation, documentation, analytics) as a core capability-consistent with DPOM's guidance that AI is a strategic accelerator across the model.
• Partner with Architecture/Platform and Dev Ops to align team workflows with CI/CD, environments, observability, and SLO management.

Measurement and Continuous Improvement

• Define and operationalize product and delivery metrics: value (OKRs, product KPIs), flow (lead time, cycle time, throughput, WIP/flow efficiency), predictability (commitment reliability), and quality/reliability (defect escape rate, CFR/MTTR, SLO attainment,…
