Are you our new Agile(Team)Coach?

iLean’s mission is to positively change the world of work by focusing on developing organisational competencies in Agility so that companies can thrive in complexity and uncertainty.
The development of Agile competencies is firmly on the rise in companies, causing the demand for guidance in this area to increase and causing iLean to grow as a company. We are looking for an experienced Agile(team) coach to help our customers throughout Flanders to support us in this growth.

Are you a passionate coach and empathic team player with experience in team coaching, agile coaching and change management who wants to guide iLean’s customers in their Agile journey?
Then be sure to read on.

Who are you?

You are an inspired expert in Agile coaching, team coaching, Agile teams, and Agile mindset, and you prove your vision on this with the proper knowledge and experience.

In other words, you have substantive knowledge in the field of Agile, Scrum, Scaled Agile, team coaching, leadership, and change management. In addition, your broad substantive interest makes you want to delve deeper into this field to expand your knowledge.

• You fit in Lencioni’s “Humble, Smart, Hungry”- criteria of a team player.  
• You’re an approachable and open-minded colleague. Continuous improvement is a two-way street!  
• You score high on the mysterious iLean factor, which we cannot describe ourselves.  
• Being a good decision-maker is equally essential. Decide on something, make sure that the team can apply it, and follow through. Make it happen!  
• Working together and knowledge sharing is an everyday reality. Ideas are not only listened to. They are co-created, evolve, and put into practice.  
• You are a good communicator, and you like working in a team, on team dynamics.  
• A healthy dose of humor is essential, even if it is terrible.  
• You have a good knowledge of Agile, Lean, and Scaled frameworks.  
• You are an experienced Agile (team) coach.  
• You are fluent in Dutch and English. French is a big plus.   

Finally, we attach great importance to several internal values within iLean. As an Agile (team) coach, you will not only uphold these values but also passionately convey them to our customers: Ideally, you, therefore, have the following skills:

• Complete transparency, both in terms of targets and figures and in general open communication.
• Equivalence in hearing different voices and being open to constructive criticism and critical opinions.
• Complete honesty and accountability in expressing and realizing what is needed regarding the organization’s direction, customer projects, and your own (growth) process.

What will you do?

In your role as Agile (Team) Coach, you ensure that Agile change becomes tangible at the team and organizational level. Your role is primarily to coach an organization on acquiring the necessary learning capabilities. In addition, organizational change requires the support of top management and is accompanied by a cultural shift. Therefore, supporting and coaching management during this change is part of your job.  

You will do this by:

• Coaching teams and team leads in the development of their agile competences
• Facilitating meetings and workshops
• Giving training
• Coaching and supporting management
• Development of learning and coaching materials
• Building expertise in business Agility, Agile leadership, …

Depending on your personal development and ambition, there is room to contribute to the commercial and organizational development of iLean.

Throughout this challenge, you can always count on the substantive expertise of the iLean team as a safety net.
We walk our talk of creating a “happy workplace.” Therefore, we work together, share knowledge, and reflect on sustainable change across organizations. You will be joining a team where everyone is accountable for your personal growth and development, and we expect the same from you.

We also work on iLean objectives as a team!

About iLean

iLean was founded over 15 years ago out of a passion for changing the world of work. We wanted to bring more effectiveness and humanity into teams through trainers and coaches and initially did this by working on Agile product development and project management with their customers. Often within IT departments and IT teams, but also outside IT. The mindset and organizational capability development that comes with it soon became our passion and focus, in addition to working with the teams themselves.

Over the years, we have grown to include 15 experienced coaches and trainers who support companies of all sizes in their development processes towards more agile organizational capabilities, agile teams, agile product development, etc. Check out our team here.

iLean is part of the Cronos Group. Our office is located in the center of Mechelen, opposite the railway station.
