This role is dedicated to the agile transformation of Ochsner Journey Teams.

Ochsner’s Journey Teams are evolving. We started with a few Journey teams last year and we are adapting our transformation approaches as we scale up the next 4 – 6 Journeys. This isn’t a cookie cutter scrum team roll out, with the primary variables being the introduction of agile concepts, new ceremonies, and key scrum roles to an engineering team. The right candidate adapts their coaching and communication style for a company with a proud tradition of promoting internally. Many of our hit-the-ground running employees have jumped into new roles in a new way of working. Additionally, the development team members are typically Epic EHR Analysts, as opposed to full stack engineers.
