Business Agility & Operating Model Consultant [Travel Required]

Job Description

About Scrum Inc.

The Scrum Inc. Consulting Group exists to help our clients achieve their business outcomes by designing and implementing Agile operating models that enable high-impact and sustained results. We do this by partnering with organizations to drive beneficial and lasting transformation, leveraging our deep expertise in organizational design, strategy execution, and operational agility. Our clients engage us because our approach is not just about implementing Agile frameworks—it is about transforming how organizations operate to deliver consistent, measurable value. Agility isn’t the outcome; it’s how you get there.

Role Description

As an Agile Consultant, you work directly with delivery teams and team-level leaders to enable effective execution and measurable improvement. You support clients in moving from intent to delivery by helping teams adopt Agile practices that improve flow, collaboration, quality, and outcomes. You partner closely with Principals and Senior Consultants to support the design, training, and implementation of Agile operating models and transformation strategies, contributing directly to client and Scrum Inc. outcomes through strong execution at the team level and ensuring day-to-day delivery success. 

You are comfortable coaching teams, implementing and improving Agile ways of working, and partnering with Product Owners, Scrum Masters, and delivery leaders to ensure Agile practices are driving real business value. You bring curiosity, discipline, and a strong delivery mindset to your work, with a focus on helping teams do their best work while aligning that work to customer and organizational outcomes.

As a trusted partner to our clients, we have a shared equity in their outcomes, and your approach must reflect this accountability. Our consultants spend approximately 75% of their time on-site with clients, though flexibility may be required based on client needs. When not on-site, we remain engaged and accountable in a virtual work mode.

Key Responsibilities

As part of our consulting team, you will partner with Senior Consultants and/or Principals to:

• Support the design, training, and implementation of Agile operating models and transformation approaches, executing team-level components of broader engagement strategies that align with overall business strategy and optimize value delivery across the organization.
• Consult with and coach delivery teams on core Agile ways of working to improve predictability, quality, collaboration, and value delivery.

• Help teams translate organizational or product strategy into actionable, achievable increments of value.
• Assess team dynamics, workflows, and constraints to identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
• Support the use of meaningful delivery and performance metrics to inspect progress and enable data-informed improvement.

• Develop high-quality engagement artifacts and documentation that support clarity, alignment, and execution.
• Contribute to internal capability building through knowledge sharing, mentoring activities, and participation in the evolution of Scrum Inc. products, tools, and methodologies.
• Support business development and account growth through strong delivery, client stewardship, and identification of opportunities to expand value within engagements.
• Actively pursue professional development and learning opportunities that strengthen consulting effectiveness, Agile expertise, and contribution to Scrum Inc.’s thought leadership.
