About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Shadow and learn the existing transformation approach directly from the lead consultant on-site, then take it to new plants independently
Coach plant leadership and floor teams on ways of working and leveraging new technology - sprint planning, daily stand-ups, retrospectives, backlog management - adapted for a manufacturing environment
Facilitate ceremonies and working sessions that build team ownership rather than dependency on the coach
Identify and remove process bottlenecks, handoff friction, and waste on the floor and in cross-functional workflows
Coach team leads and site managers individually on mindset shifts, not just process mechanics
Drive adoption of new ways of working across plant teams, including change-resistant stakeholders
Track and report transformation health metrics (velocity, adoption indicators, team maturity) back to the lead consultant
Provide "white glove" follow-up support post-implementation to ensure the change sticks rather than reverting once the coach moves to the next site
Help build local capability so plants can self-sustain the new way of working over time
Travel extensively between plant locations - expect frequent domestic and Americas-region travel, with potential for wider international travel (EMEA/APAC).
Implement what's already working rather than introducing a new methodology - this is execution of an existing playbook, not a from-scratch transformation design
Report progress and roadblocks back to the lead consultant and adjust delivery based on direction given

Requirements

What you’ll need

Background in agile ways of working, backed up by relevant certifications and experience. Shaped by time in product or software development rather than a career built solely around agile-transformation consulting
Experience of the shift from traditional to agile delivery firsthand — not someone who's only ever coached agile from the outside
Hands-on facilitation experience: running ceremonies, coaching teams through resistance, translating agile principles into a non-software environment
Comfortable taking direction and executing rather than driving your own strategic agenda — this is a "lieutenant," not a chief. You're here to implement a working playbook, not redesign it
Manufacturing exposure is a plus, not a requirement
Easygoing, likable, low-ego - someone teams want to work with, not someone who clashes with existing leadership
Willingness to travel extensively and frequently, including potential international travel
US passport required
