Role
As an Agile Coach (m/f/d), you'll help our cross-functional teams grow, work more efficiently, and embrace true ownership. You'll foster agile ways of thinking and working, remove blockers, support self-organisation - and help shape the future of collaboration at journaway.
You'll work closely with Product Owners and Chapter Leads, acting as a change agent in a dynamic, fast-growing environment.
Your mission
journaway is not a typical travel tech company. We’re the Anti-Holiday platform. We want our users to design and experience their bucket list dreams, to travel in a sustainable and social way, to get to know and fall in love with our beautiful world and its many hidden gems. To achieve this, we aim to revolutionize how people plan and book their trips. By seamlessly combining flights, hotels, excursions, rental cars, and more, we empower travelers to build customized travel experiences with ease. Our technology removes complexity to allow the user to focus on what truly matters - the journey itself.
