National Security

Are you passionate about working with cutting-edge technology and self-motivated to find innovative solutions to complex challenges as part of a team who help keep the UK safe? Join BAE Systems as an Agile Coach

We fully embrace DevOps ways of working in our teams, and build a very broad range of capabilities for our customers. We therefore value scrum team members who enjoy playing a role in the full delivery lifecycle and are flexible to learn and pick up new approaches. You’ll be playing a role in identifying the right behaviours, best practices and development methodologies to use for the job and be supported with training as needed through access to services such as Pluralsight.

Not only will your team be directly making a huge impact upon the systems you work on, you’ll be doing it for an organisation who makes a huge impact to the security of the UK.

**About you**

You will have experience in many of the following:

- Leadership roles or responsibilities - either delivery or technically focussed - within a professional software, systems or service team
- Championing Scrum and agile principles within a team
- Coaching and mentoring junior software developers, setting an example for them and identifying areas for improvement and training
- Facilitating team meetings, helping to draw thoughts and ideas from all team members
- Task and knowledge management tools such as Confluence, JIRA and Trello
- Continually looking for process improvements
- Bringing enthusiasm and fun to your work

It would be great if you also had experience in some of these, but if not we’ll help you with them:

- A Scrum certification such as PSM or CSM
- Project management, including identifying and reporting on risks, issues and dependencies
- Service management, for example responding to incidents or outages, using problem solving skills and coordinating with multiple people or teams.
- Change management, including working with other teams and end users to make new feature deployments on live services more transparent, reducing risk
- Experience with software development or design

Security Clearance is required for this vacancy. If you are not currently Security Cleared, you will need to be eligible for this and willing to go through the process.

**How we will support you**
- Work-life balance is important; you can work around core hours with flexible and part-time working, and many of our roles include hybrid working enabling a mix of working from home and in the office
- You’ll get 25 days holiday a year and the option to buy/sell and carry over from the year before
- Our flexible benefits package includes private medical and dental insurance, a competitive pension scheme, cycle to work scheme, taste cards and more
- You’ll have a dedicated Career Manager to help you develop your career and guide you on your journey through BAE

**About our team**

Our people are what differentiates us, they are resourceful, innovative and dedicated. We have a mix of generalists and specialists and recognise that this diversity contributes to our success. We recognise the benefits of forming teams from a mix of disciplines, which allows us to come up with cutting edge, high quality solutions. Our breadth of work across the Public Sector provides diverse opportunities for our people to develop their careers in new areas of expertise and with new clients.

You’ll be part of a big company, but we try to create a culture that feels like a small one. The work will stretch you and be challenging, but we encourage a healthy work-life balance. Most of all, we know teams who work well together also perform well. We’ll do everything we can to ensure you have fun at work, and in social activities outside of it whether that’s virtually or in person, as conditions allow.

You will be joining our National Security business which is the largest area within our UK business. Our mission is to be the most trusted partner for our National Security clients in delivery of their core mission.
