Role Purpose
The Capability Leader grows and runs a chapter efficiently and effectively, always following Agile Actors’ values. This is an entrepreneurial leadership mandate: building, scaling, and managing a defined Capability while contributing actively to the company’s broader commercial and people objectives. It is not a traditional management role. The Capability Leader is expected to operate with agility and an open mindset, actively driving AI adoption and agility across the chapter. This means modelling curiosity, experimenting with new tools and ways of working, and helping the team continuously evolve how it delivers value.
Requirements
Responsibilities
Attract Talent. Own the talent pipeline for the chapter. Actively source, screen, and evaluate candidates for open and anticipated positions. Work closely with Talent Acquisition to maintain a healthy inflow of qualified professionals, and take personal accountability for the quality and speed of hiring in the chapter.
Lead and Develop People. Guide people with purpose. Set clear expectations, give honest feedback, recognise strong performance, and create the conditions for individuals to grow. Manage engagement, motivation, and wellbeing proactively. The chapter’s stability and development are a direct reflection of the Capability Leader’s leadership.
Contribute to Company Growth. Think and act like a business owner. Generate new demand for the capability across existing and new clients. Maintain awareness of financial contribution and manage the chapter’s cost and revenue dynamics accordingly. Support the company’s growth targets and engage early when chapter positions are at risk.
Collaborate with Capability Leaders. Act as a genuine partner to other Capability Leaders. Share knowledge, support cross-chapter staffing where it makes sense, and model the collaborative behaviours that define Agile Actors’ culture.
Collaborate with Functions. Work effectively with Talent Acquisition, People Development, and Account Management, treating the functions as partners. Contribute to shared goals on hiring speed, people experience, and demand generation.
Promote Agile Actors’ Public Image. Be visible in the professional community. Participate in meetups, conferences, and relevant events. Contribute to Agile Actors’ employer brand through content, speaking, mentoring, or community involvement.
Grow and Maintain Chapter Manpower. Achieve net headcount growth for the chapter where open positions exist while retain existing chapter’s professionals.
What we are looking for
Experience & expertise
- Proven track record leading and growing technical teams
- Strong technical background, broad enough to evaluate talent credibly and set meaningful standards for the chapter
- Full-stack software development experience with Java is preferred, along with broad technical fluency in modern software engineering practices
- Commercial mindset, comfortable with P&L thinking, margin awareness, and revenue contribution
- Prior experience in consulting, staffing, or professional services context (preferred)
- Existing network in the respected technology professional community (preferred)
What makes someone thrive in this role
- Leadership: inspires and develops others, creates clarity, and takes ownership of outcomes rather than activities
- Agility: adapts quickly as priorities, clients, and technologies shift, and helps the chapter do the same
- Open mindset: curious by default, open to new ideas and perspectives, and comfortable changing their mind when the evidence says so
- AI fluency: actively adopts AI tools in their own work and champions practical AI adoption across the chapter
- Collaboration: builds real working relationships across chapters, functions, customers and communities, not just transactional ones
- Communication: direct, honest, and clear, with both the team and stakeholders
- Initiative: spots what needs doing and does it, without waiting to be asked
- Resourcefulness: finds practical paths forward under constraint, with limited hand-holding
- Ownership: operates with full accountability, follows through, and owns both wins and misses
