Sr Agile Delivery Coach
Avanciers Inc.
Avanciers is a premier IT Staffing/Consulting organization and we are currently recruiting for a contract role for one of our premier client in Canada for Sr Agile Delivery Coach.
This is a Hybrid role and client is actively hiring for this position.
Role: Sr Agile Delivery Coach
Location: Toronto, ON (Hybrid)
Employment Type: Contract
Duration: 3 Months
We are seeking a dynamic Agile Delivery Coach to empower our engineering squads and product owners to reach peak operational maturity. This is not a "Scrum Master" role in the traditional sense; it is a high-impact coaching position focused on flow optimization, outcome-based planning, and cultural transformation. You will be responsible for diagnosing delivery bottlenecks using empirical data and mentoring teams to transition from a "task-output" mindset to a high-performance "product-outcome" culture.
Core Responsibilities
1. Squad Coaching & Flow Optimization
Advanced Facilitation : Lead and evolve core ceremonies (Sprint Planning, Retrospectives, Story Mapping) into high-engagement, outcome-focused workshops.
Systems Thinking : Implement and refine Kanban/Scrum practices, including explicit WIP limits, visual management, and board policies to stabilize workflows.
Metric-Driven Improvement : Use Lead/Cycle Time, Throughput, and Cumulative Flow Diagrams to diagnose system bottlenecks and drive iterative delivery experiments.
Backlog Excellence : Coach Product Owners on outcome-based prioritization (WSJF/RICE), user story slicing, and maintaining a high-quality Definition of Ready (DoR).
Technical Flow : Partner with QA and Engineering leads to implement trunk-based habits and smaller batch sizes, reducing handoffs and rework.
Dependency Orchestration : Coordinate cross-squad syncs and resolve complex impediments to ensure horizontal alignment across different delivery streams.
3. Capability Uplift & Culture
Mentorship: Maintain a tailored "Coaching Backlog" for each squad, gradually transitioning facilitation ownership to team members to foster self-organization.
High-Performance Dynamics : Build an environment of psychological safety and a robust feedback culture to improve team predictability and stakeholder trust.
Required Qualifications
Experience: 4–8+ years in delivery or product roles, with at least 2+ years of dedicated squad-level coaching.
Agile Stances : Proven ability to pivot between Teaching, Mentoring, and Facilitating to drive measurable behavioral change.
Data Fluency : Expert-level ability to build and interpret Jira/Azure DevOps dashboards, aging charts, and predictability reports.
Product Acumen : Deep understanding of user story writing, OKRs, and value-stream mapping.
Preferred Skills (Nice-to-Have)
Certifications: PSM/CSM, KMP (Kanban Management Professional), or ICP-ACC (Agile Coaching).
Scaling Knowledge : Experience with SAFe, LeSS, or operating within a Chapter/CoP (Community of Practice) model.
DevOps Awareness : Familiarity with CI/CD environments and how they impact delivery flow and quality.
