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.
