Agile Coach | Outside ir35| £430p/d | Bedford

Opus are currently working with a key client on an Agile Coach role. This will be a key role in the development of the team.

Essential skills:

Initially work alongside the Senior Delivery Manager, coordinating delivery across squads, then move into a stronger coaching and enablement role as the programme matures.

Embed pragmatic ways of working: backlog, a shared Definition of Ready and Done, a common sprint cadence and managing dependencies between squads, without unnecessary governance.

Support and coach Delivery Leads and BAs, client Product Owners and teams, using flow metrics (throughput, cycle time) so plans rest on measured delivery rather than assumption.

Must have: coaching multiple teams on one programme; a Delivery Manager or Scrum Master background; flow metrics and evidence-based forecasting.

Nice to have: lightweight scaling approaches (e.g. LeSS); teams using AI-assisted delivery; retail or hospitality.

Looking for someone hands-on and pragmatic, comfortable moving between direct delivery support and Agile coaching
