Description:
Target's Dojo is hiring for a Senior Agile Coach.

About the work

The Dojo exists to make Target more effective, efficient, and joyful by partnering with teams and leaders to educate, connect, and coach the enterprise as One Team. We commit to make everyone that engages with us measurably better.

As part of the Dojo Coaches, the work is to coach, facilitate, train, and mentor a variety of teams in ongoing improvement. You will work with our larger Dojo coaching network and clients to help define, deliver, and learn from immersive events of varying duration. Sometimes this will be a single scrum team improving how they define and deliver software, or maybe you'll engage with a multi-team product group working on a customer or operational opportunity. One week you may facilitate a group of leaders to alignment, and the next teach workshop that inspires people to new ways of thinking and working. We work across diverse roles, lines of business, and at all levels of the organization.

Additionally, this work requires you to help improve Dojo services and practices as both part of a team, network, and movement towards Agility. Ultimately, your work will make Target a more joyful place for our team members, guests, communities, and shareholders - and we can't wait to have you join us!
