Description: Our client is currently seeking a Release Train Engineer! This is a 6-month contract with potential to extend and/or convert to full-time. HYBRID 3 days onsite.
Not looking for a traditional RTE (they're a dime a dozen)
- Not someone who can just facilitate PI planning/execution and manage meetings
- Needs someone who can lean into coaching/training into what it is to be an RTE
- Experience as a Scrum Master, experience coaching product managers, IT managers/directors, working with them and that kind of thing
- Reason looking: while they've been more or less a SAFe/Agile shop, they're moving away from it.
- Moving back towards more Lean/Agile roots
- Transition throughout 2025.
- What this means: Org has 3 release trains, they aren't well formed, not based on value networks or value strings, based on org structures. Have a ton of cross-stream dependencies. "We're not going to call these things release trains, but we're going to ID the teams that always have to work together to focus on some kind of work"
- I.e. Infosecurity, enterprise data, cloud computing
- "How do we help them plan & execute as independently as possible from all of the other noise?"
- Kind of like SAFe but much more granular
- Shared Services currently has 22 teams, but they're not all Agile teams
- Want someone with a diverse background who can see patterns, has coached in a multitude of different situations
- Nice to have: Kanban, Organizational Change Management
Additional notes:
- Needs a change agent that can form relationships, listen to what/how the different teams run (like infosec has an old PMO), and bring teams together that don't work together
- Looking for someone who knows agile, kanban, can be cross-functional, collaborative, someone who can achieve milestones and deliverables
- Needs someone to "stop the bleeding", keep the progress moving, and jump in from day one (no ramping up - building relationships from day one)
- Focus is more on regulatory etc, not much agile process to that, need to implement agile into shared services (which is harder)
