Strengthen the Standards & Methods function within a Delivery Enablement organization.

  • Translate strategic direction, delivery experience, and stakeholder input into clear, governed, and operational standards, methods, decision frameworks, and reusable assets.
  • This is a hands-on governance and operational excellence assignment.
  • The focus is not on general Agile coaching, but on providing dedicated expertise and execution capacity for the design, governance, measurement, implementation, and institutionalization of scalable delivery practices.

What you do

  • Translate strategic intent and organizational knowledge into a coherent delivery framework.
  • Convert concepts, workshops and stakeholder input into practical and implementable deliverables.
  • Design and maintain standards, procedures, playbooks, templates, policies, workflows, process flows and decision frameworks.
  • Ensure standards are usable, testable, maintainable and proportionate.
  • Build measurable feedback loops between standards, adoption and delivery outcomes.
  • Coordinate dependencies between the Product Operating Model, Agile at Scale and delivery metrics.
  • Implement and continuously improve delivery governance and enterprise ways of working.
  • Identify gaps, overlaps and inconsistencies across existing processes and standards.
  • Drive actions, dependencies and decisions with stakeholders through to closure.
  • Balance governance and standardization requirements with operational pragmatism and adoption realities.
  • Support the lifecycle management and continuous improvement of governance repositories and operational assets.

What they ask

  • 3+ years of practical experience within Delivery Enablement, Transformation Office, Delivery Governance, Operational Excellence or a comparable function.
  • Strong experience implementing and operationalizing ways of working.
  • Proven ability to structure, maintain and continuously improve standards, methods, procedures and governance repositories.
  • Demonstrated experience translating strategic initiatives and concepts into practical processes, standards, methods, templates and workflows.
  • Hands-on experience implementing and improving delivery governance, operating models and enterprise ways of working.
  • Experience working within Agile and scaled delivery environments.
  • Relevant experience in roles such as Agile Lead, Release Train Engineer (RTE), Delivery Lead, Governance/Process Manager or similar.
  • Strong ability to transform ambiguity into actionable deliverables and clear next steps.
  • Excellent process and governance documentation capabilities.
  • Strong stakeholder management and cross-functional coordination skills.
  • Experience with delivery metrics, performance measurement, and continuous improvement.

Profile

  • Combine strategic understanding with strong operational execution.
  • Work pragmatically and independently in a complex environment.
  • Challenge stakeholders constructively while remaining solution-oriented.
  • Communicate complex governance and delivery topics clearly and simply.
  • Produce concise, actionable and usable outputs.
  • Focus on business value, usability, measurable outcomes and adoption, rather than theoretical framework compliance.
  • Drive topics proactively from definition through implementation and closure.
  • This assignment is not primarily intended for a generalist Agile Coach whose experience is limited to facilitating Agile ceremonies or team coaching.
  • The organization is specifically seeking a pragmatic, hands-on Delivery Governance and Operational Excellence specialist capable of designing, documenting, implementing, measuring, and continuously improving the delivery system.
  • Candidates should demonstrate tangible experience delivering operational assets and measurable implementation results, rather than only developing conceptual governance models.

Practical

  • Occasional business travel to another European city is possible, with travel-related costs covered by the organization.
