About the job

Chaucer America is seeking Managing Consultants with deep Agile skills to join our Agile Practice.

You will bring unique skills that align with our Agile Practice, working within an Agile project governance framework. You will know how to establish a team cadence, run Scrum ceremonies, facilitate backlog refinement sessions and you will be experienced in leading client Agile delivery teams, managing issues, planning risk mitigations, and holding weekly status meetings. Previous consulting experience is a must, with a track record of successful delivery in a client facing environment.

Special Note:
If you have 5-10 years’ experience in a professional consulting environment then we would love to hear from you. We are looking for well-rounded mid-senior level consultants with a track record in Agile and enough experience in other areas of consulting to feel comfortable adapting to different project environments. For example, you will have experience in one or more additional Chaucer Practice areas such as Project/Program Management, Change Management, Technology, Data etc. If you specialize in Agile and/or Agile coaching exclusively this may not be the right role for you.

We love curiosity and imagination and people interested in sharing innovative minds, entrepreneurial spirit and collaborative working habits.

We embrace diversity, we welcome unconventional backgrounds and we love passion, enthusiasm and selflessness. Attitude is everything.

We invite you to join Chaucer’s modern family in the United States and help us improve lives. Please consider joining our friendly team, collaborating with us and helping both our clients and our people by bringing your unique contribution to the table.

We are excited to meet you!
