Job Description

Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society. 

As Agile Practice Lead, you will help us build an Agile practice from the ground up. Over the last year, a structured contractor engagement has demonstrated that dedicated Agile leadership meaningfully improves delivery predictability, team throughput, and leadership visibility across multiple scrum teams. We are now ready to bring that capability in-house, and the Agile Practice Lead is the foundational step toward that end. 

This is a senior-level leadership and enablement role. You will own the Agile practice as a discipline: setting the standards, developing the practitioners, and connecting day-to-day delivery execution to our broader operating model. You will build and lead a small team of Scrum Masters, serve as the primary strategic partner to engineering and product leadership on delivery health, and translate what is happening across teams into insights that help us make better decisions faster.

Our Values: Working for an organization within the Stand Together philanthropic community is different from many other places. The culture is deeply rooted in Principle Based Management® (PBM®), a framework guided by the principles that drive human progress, such as dignity, openness, and bottom-up empowerment. PBM® empowers employees to be entrepreneurial, to innovate, and to continually drive transformation.   
 
We believe diversity fuels creativity, broadens knowledge, and helps drive success.  That is why we’re proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer and strive to treat all employees and applicants with honesty, dignity, and respect.
