Agile Transformation Coach

Agile Transformation Coach\n\n

Location: Lyon, France\n\n

Type: Permanent or Contract/Freelance\n\n

Our client is looking to hire permanent Transformation Coaches to help strengthen internal transformation capability across its European accelerator environments.

This is an opportunity to join a business with genuine global scale and purpose. Our client is an R&D-driven, AI-powered biopharma organisation focused on improving people’s lives, with major work spanning areas such as oncology, rare diseases, neurology, and vaccines. Its Lyon-based accelerator environment is part of a wider push to build the next generation of digital, data and AI-driven products that can transform healthcare.

This is not a traditional Agile Coach role. Our client is looking for hands-on, execution-focused coaches who can improve real delivery performance, optimise flow, and help leaders solve system-level challenges.

The successful candidates will work closely with teams initially, building credibility through action, before influencing at wider organisational and portfolio level.

This is a hybrid role, with candidates required onsite in Lyon Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday every week. Ideally the client is looking to hire permanent coaches, but we are able to accept applications from contractors who are able to commit to long-term engagements and price their daily rates accordingly.

Candidates must be equally capable of working in English and French, and all candidates must have current authorisation to work unrestricted in France.
