• Educating stakeholders to create stronger alignment between teams and business functions

• Leading organisational health assessments and identifying targeted improvement opportunities
• Facilitating workshops and retrospectives to remove barriers and build better ways of working

• Creating transparency and supporting the removal of systemic impediments

You're experienced in Agile delivery, with a deep understanding of how to apply agile ways of working pragmatically in a large, complex organisation—especially within an operational context.

You've worked closely with senior leadership teams, guiding them through change while tailoring your coaching to suit the realities of the business.

You'll also bring:

• Proven experience coaching at senior leadership and executive levels
• Practical knowledge of Agile frameworks like Scrum, Kanban, and Lean, and when/how to apply them effectively
• Strong facilitation, communication, and relationship-building skills
• A collaborative, down-to-earth style that makes you approachable and trusted
• Experience as an Agile Coach, Scrum Master, or Agile Project Manager
• Professional Agile certifications (e.g. CSP, PSM, Certified Agile Coach) are a plus, but not essential

This is your chance to make a real impact—helping NZ Post's operational teams work smarter, collaborate better, and deliver consistent, meaningful outcomes.
