Who are we?

Sanlam Life and Savings (SLS) is focused on serving our retail and corporate clients in South Africa and further developing our strategic advantages in the South African market. Sanlam Life and Savings consists of the following business units Retail Mass, Corporate, Risk and Savings, Glacier and various business enabling functions. The Sanlam Life and Savings Office provides strategic direction, coordination and support to the four clusters, as well as performing governance oversight that includes assurance provided by second line of defense functions in SLS, to enable us to meet our business objectives.

What will you do?

Job Purpose:

The Agile Coach is responsible for building, enabling, and scaling organisational agility across Sanlam Life and Savings (SLS) by strengthening the enterprise delivery system.

Operating as part of the Lean Agile Centre of Excellence (LACE) within the Office of the CTO, the role partners with teams, leaders, and value streams to embed Agile, product, and flow-based ways of working that improve delivery effectiveness, predictability, and value outcomes.

The Agile Coach operates beyond individual teams to:

Shape and embed enterprise guardrails, patterns, and standards
Drive system-level improvements across Technology and Business
Enable the shift from project-based to product- and value-oriented delivery

The role acts as a change agent and system enabler, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, evidence-based decision-making, and sustainable organisational capability uplift

Role Requirements:

Output/Core Tasks:

Capability Development & Guardrails

Define, evolve, and maintain enterprise Agile guardrails (e.g., team design, product ownership, ways of working)
Develop reusable patterns and playbooks (e.g., lean portfolio practices, value stream alignment)
Ensure guardrails are practical, adaptable, and outcome-focused, avoiding compliance-heavy implementation

Implementation & Enablement

Support pilots and targeted interventions to embed new ways of working
Enable teams and leaders to adopt and adapt Agile and product practices effectively
Translate strategic intent into practical delivery improvements

Coaching Across Levels

Coach delivery teams on Agile practices, flow optimisation, and continuous improvement
Coach leaders and stakeholders on:
o Product thinking
o Outcome-based decision-making
o Operating model evolution
Enable behavioural and mindset shifts required for organisational agility

Flow & Delivery Improvement

Diagnose and address systemic constraints (e.g., dependencies, WIP overload, slow decision cycles)
Improve flow metrics, including:
o Cycle time
o Throughput
o Predictability
Promote visibility of work and data-driven decision-making

Enterprise Alignment & Operating Model Evolution

Align delivery practices with portfolio and value stream priorities
Support the transition to product-aligned, long-lived teams
Influence organisational design and interaction models across Business and Technology

Continuous Improvement & Experimentation

Embed Lean Startup and Build–Measure–Learn practices
Facilitate retrospectives and improvement loops at team, programme, and enterprise levels
Promote a culture of experimentation, learning, and evidence-based improvement

Community & Capability Growth

Build and enable Communities of Practice across Agile, Product, and Delivery disciplines
Support training, onboarding, and capability development journeys
Contribute to internal knowledge sharing and organisational learning

Delivery Support (Where Required)

Provide coaching support to in-flight initiatives and strategic programmes
Improve delivery execution without becoming embedded as a delivery resource
Ensure Agile practices drive meaningful outcomes, not mechanical compliance

What will make you successful in this role?

Strong experience in:
o Agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban, Lean, Disciplined Agile)
o Flow-based delivery and continuous improvement practices
Track record of improving delivery outcomes (flow, predictability, quality)

Advantageous

Experience in enterprise Agile transformations
Exposure to product management and product operating models
Experience influencing or supporting operating model design
Familiarity with:
o Value stream mapping
o Flow metrics and analytics
o Portfolio and funding models in Agile environments
Experience in financial services or regulated environments
