You are passionate about continuous learning, value meaningful outcomes over process theatre, and believe that great teams are built through trust, clarity, and shared ownership.

If you are motivated by purpose driven work and want to help shape how teams deliver value for Canadians, CBC is the place for you.

How you will make an impact:

As a Junior Agile Team Lead, you will play a hands-on role in strengthening team effectiveness, improving delivery flow, and supporting the broader agile transformation.

• Coaching and Mentoring:

  • Coach and mentor individuals and teams on agile principles, values, and practices, adapting approaches to real-world constraints;
  • Support teams in developing toward empowered, self-organizing ways of working, grounded in a strong agile mindset;
  • Model curiosity, humility, and continuous improvement in day-to-day interactions.

• Facilitation & Collaboration:

  • Facilitate core agile ceremonies including daily stand-ups, sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives;
  • Create psychologically safe environments that encourage open dialogue, constructive feedback, and shared decision-making;
  • Strengthen collaboration across product, engineering, design, and quality disciplines.

• Process & Flow Improvement:

  • Identify opportunities to improve team processes, flow, and delivery predictability;
  • Partner with teams to apply and adapt agile frameworks such as Scrum and Kanban, based on team context and needs;
  • Encourage experimentation and learning to continuously improve outcomes not just adherence to process.

• Team Empowerment:

  • Foster a culture of autonomy, accountability, and cross-functional ownership;
  • Help teams surface and remove impediments that impact delivery, quality, or team health;
  • Support teams in balancing delivery, sustainability, and continuous improvement.

• Agile Metrics & Insights:

  • Identify, define, and track meaningful agile metrics (e.g., predictability, cycle time) to support learning and transparency;
  • Use data as a conversation starter not a performance weapon to enable better decision making.

• Change Management & Continuous Improvement:

  • Act as a change agent by promoting agile values and healthy team practices within your team and beyond;
  • Collaborate with leadership and partners to align expectations and support the agile journey;
  • Continuously reflect on and refine your coaching approach to improve team effectiveness.

• Confidence, Humility, and Innovation:

  • Use observation and listening skills to understand team dynamics and influence positive change;
  • Demonstrate creativity in problem-solving and a willingness to challenge the status quo;
  • Remove obstacles with pragmatism, empathy, and systems awareness.

What you bring to our team:

• A Bachelor’s degree or diploma in a relevant field (or equivalent practical experience);
• 3+ years of experience working in an agile environment as an Agile Practitioner, Scrum Master, or similar role;
• Hands-on experience with Scrum and Kanban, and the ability to adapt frameworks to context;
• Familiarity with Atlassian Jira and Confluence is essential;
• A solid understanding of agile principles, with a strong commitment to continuous learning;
• Agile certifications (e.g., CSM, CSP, or equivalent) are an asset;
• Experience working with technical teams and/or a technical background is an asset;
• Strong communication skills in English (spoken and written).

To Apply:

At the CBC, we recognize that not everyone takes the same path when it comes to building their skills. We value diversity of thought and of experience, and we are excited to hear from you! Hands-on experience, intelligence, innovation, a passion for learning, and a team-focused approach can combine to form the best set of qualifications.
