Senior Agile Coach Business-IT Transformation - Insurance Sector

Project overview

As part of a major transformation program between IT and business departments, our client (a large insurance sector group based in Paris, with occasional travel to Le Mans) is looking for a Senior Agile Coach.

Unlike a traditional project manager role, this mission does not involve budget control, planning, or technical delivery management. It is a pure mission of change support, facilitation, and deployment of Agile operating models for the teams.

Responsibilities

Profile sought

• Co-construct the vision and scope of the Agile transformation with stakeholders.
• Define and test an Agile operating model adapted to the context: clarified responsibilities, rituals, shared backlogs, and value-based prioritization.
• Actively support and coach managers, business units, and IT teams in the concrete adoption of agile practices.
• Lead the transformation roadmap, coordinate actions between departments, and capitalize on feedback.
• Implement monitoring indicators (cycle time, delivered value, practice adoption).
• Experience: Minimum 10 years of successful experience in Agile transformation of organizations, delivery methods, or scaled Product setups (complex and highly matrixed environments).
• Business/Sector Expertise: Very good knowledge of the insurance industry (ideally life insurance and savings) and its regulatory challenges is highly valued.
• Know-how: Proven practice in Agile Coaching, workshop facilitation, and change management with diverse profiles (operational staff, managers, executives).
• Soft skills: Influential leadership, excellent interpersonal skills, constructive coaching posture, pragmatism, autonomy, and strong results orientation.
