We’re looking for a kindred spirit — a Freelance Agile Coach & Trainer

Agile Lounge® by AFJ is opening a part-time, on-site collaboration this October in the Greater Montréal Metropolitan Area.

I’ve just landed a new mandate, so I’m inviting ONE trusted freelancer to co-deliver an “Intro to Agile” learning experience alongside me — the Agile Lounge way. This is a science-driven, highly regulated workplace. Real teams, real stakes, real humans (#H2H).

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Facilitate on-site “Intro to Agile” sessions grounded in the 4 values & 12 principles — not framework dogma.

• Bring Agile to life as an agnostic, empirical posture: experiment, learn, adapt to the team’s real context.

• Read the room, meet people face to face, and spark curiosity rather than push a model.

• Prep light, interactive materials and run hands-on exercises.

• Collaborate closely with me to keep every session tailored and honest.

WHO YOU ARE

• A facilitator first: warm, credible, comfortable leading a room of any size.

• Fluent in Agile fundamentals (Scrum, Kanban, Lean) with real project scars — not just slides.

• English-first AND able to teach in French. The client works primarily in English, but you’ll switch to French when the room needs it.

• Certified (Scrum, Agile coaching, professional coaching) is a plus — not a gate. Your posture matters more than your badge.

• You resonate with invitation-based change and #NOPROJECTS thinking — or you’re hungry to.

THE LOUNGE WAY TO APPLY — NO CV, PLEASE

We don’t read résumés. Instead:

1. Send us a short message telling us why this resonates with you.

2. Share your website, portfolio, LinkedIn,



or any online profile so we can get a feel for who you are.

3. Answer these 3 questions straight from your own knowledge and practice — no studying, no Googling, No AIing! Will know it once we meet!

These are the fundamentals every real Agile coach already carries; if someone has never met them, they shouldn’t be coaching a team, and we both know it. Show us you’re the real deal:

• Agile isn’t a methodology or a framework — it’s a set of 4 values and 12 principles, an agnostic and empirical posture. In your own words, how do you make that land with a room of brand-new adopters?

• A real Agile coach already carries the foundations — the Manifesto, the Scrum Guide, Kanban, DevOps, XP, and “Agile Testing” as a team sport. Which of these shaped your practice most, and how does it show up when you coach?

• Name a thinker or source that lit your fire i Scrum or Agile Your call. And What did they teach you that you still pass on today?

(These echo our own agile OG path — but a real coach answers from the gut, not from a browser tab.)

THE FINE PRINT (please read before reaching out)

• For freelancers registered or — better — incorporated in Canada / Québec, able to invoice Agile Lounge® by AFJ.

• Open ONLY to Canadian citizens. No permanent residents, no visas. Citizenship and background checks are required by our client for regulatory compliance.

FOOTNOTE — READ ME TWICE

We will NOT respond to any message from staffing firms, agencies, or peddlers. Please don’t waste your time wasting ours.

Questions? Reach out — real conversation over paperwork, always.

Let’s do it, in togetherness. Ensemble et différents™
