We are looking for a proactive and experienced leader who can drive our agile journey by coaching teams to adopt an agile mindset with focus on outcomes and benefit realisation. If you have experience with coaching teams on how to use agile tools and methodologies to drive progress and achieve goals in a B2B context, then you might be the one we’re looking for!

About The Role

So, what is it like to be a Chapter Lead at DFDS? As a Chapter Lead, you lead, coach, and mentor our agile coaches to help them grow as professionals and maximize their impact.

You will lead, inspire and energize the chapter around the future of agile coaching — with a clear focus on outcomes over outputs. This role is about more than agile frameworks — it’s about embedding a mindset that prioritise business impact, benefit realisation, and customer value.
