Role description

We're seeking an experienced Intermediate Dev Coordinator to join our Admin and Curriculum division and help us build high-performing, self-organising teams.

In this role, you'll be at the heart of our delivery excellence, applying Agile and Scrum principles to drive meaningful outcomes. You'll facilitate ceremonies, coach teams and stakeholders, remove impediments, and continuously improve flow, predictability, and quality throughout the development lifecycle.

As a key leader in our organisation, you'll play a crucial role in fostering psychological safety, accountability, and transparency across our teams.

You'll act as the primary delivery interface between teams and stakeholders, ensuring alignment between business priorities and delivery outcomes.

From facilitating all Scrum ceremonies to managing risks and cross-team dependencies, you'll be instrumental in tracking and improving delivery metrics like velocity, throughput, and cycle time. Your coaching will help build psychologically safe, high-accountability environments where teams can thrive and deliver sustainable value.

We're looking for someone with 3–7 years' experience facilitating Scrum teams and a proven track record of guiding teams through multiple delivery cycles.

You'll bring strong facilitation and communication skills, a solid understanding of Scrum and Kanban, and experience with tools like Jira and Confluence.

Success here isn't just about delivery outcomes; it's about how you strengthen the team and embody our values.

With role KPAs weighted at 40% and d6 values alignment at 60%, we're looking for someone who understands that sustainable, people-first delivery is what truly drives long-term success.

Who We Are

At d6 we are all about increasing the effectiveness of schools. We are passionate about improving the administrative and communication processes within schools, to increase their operational effectiveness and allow them to put their energy where it is needed most - in the classrooms!

What We Do

We develop software products to help the schools in their daily operations. Our products are developed on a pretty typical LAMP stack with all of the usual supporting technologies, but we do have a pretty cool configuration to provide scalability and resilience, including memcache, load balancing, replication and fail-over to make sure we are rock solid.

Our primary focus is on the following:

  • A school administration system which provides all of the administrative functions that come with managing a school - capturing family and staff information, configuring the curriculum, recording marks, attendance & discipline, calculating progression & retention, generating report cards and other reporting, managing finances and communication. This is a fully integrated product with all of the various modules interacting to provide a seamless, holistic solution for the school.
  • A stand-alone communication system which allows the schools to communicate directly with their parents via mobile and desktop clients.

We try to keep things as agile as possible, and work on a continuous release process to make sure we deliver the most value possible in the shortest time. We are always trying to improve what we do and how we do it, and the culture is inclusive - we are in this together and we should all be part of creating the solution and enjoying the journey.

Our Interview Process

  1. Wamly Application: Upload your details, complete a short skills test, and record a one-way video interview so we can get to know you better.
  2. Technical Challenge: Showcase your skills through a practical challenge that reflects the type of work you’ll do at d6.
  3. Technical Screening Call: Have a conversation with our Tech Lead to discuss your challenge submission, share feedback, and explore all things tech.
  4. Assessments: Complete a psychometric assessment to help ensure a strong person–role fit.
  5. Formal Interview: Engage in a deeper discussion about your technical experience, communication style, and values alignment.

Our process is designed for intentional interaction, with no duplication - all to ensure a strong person–position fit and to set us up to create great solutions together!

Our Values

At d6, our values guide how we work and connect with one another. We believe in being open and honest, always striving for excellence, and putting our customers at the centre of what we do. We operate as one team, supporting each other and celebrating collective success, while also taking accountability for our actions and responsibilities. Most importantly, we are fuelled by passion - for education, for innovation, and for making a positive impact in schools and communities.
