Why youll love this job
  • Our goal is to create an environment with strong product leadership and empowered product teams delivering amazing products for our customers. Of course, we also want to make sure we are having fun, working with, and caring for amazing people.
  • American Airlines Dojo Hangar - a place where our teams come to receive coaching, learn new ways of working, develop their design thinking, product mindset and excel technically. In the Hangar we bring product leaders, engineers, airport staff, and customers together to collectively build the most customer centric capabilities while improving how we work simultaneously - to rapidly deliver customer value faster than ever before. Teams work on their existing backlogs in highly focused sprints and spend most of their time pairing - but dedicated time is given to learning and experimentation. Our coaches are subject matter experts who immerse with the teams and provide active feedback.

  • Collaborate with Dojo Leads and the Director to plan, prioritize, and confirm Dojo engagements.
  • Clearly communicate Dojo offerings and services to teams, highlighting how they support team success.
  • Maintain transparent and frequent communication with stakeholders regarding scheduling, constraints, challenges, and successes.
  • Schedule engagements and meetings based on coach capacity and team priority.
  • Coordinate hybrid experiences (in-person and remote), including room reservations, food orders, A/V setup, power sources, and other logistics.
  • Continuously improve the Dojo experience for both teams and coaches by refining processes, templates, ceremonies, and ways of working.
  • Organize and simplify information to ensure it is easily accessible and consumable by teams and coaches.
  • Ensure coaches are well-supported with necessary resources such as team status updates, documentation, access, invites, and organized team events.
  • Maintain a pipeline of upcoming teams, scheduling events to prepare them and their leaders for intake, discovery, and immersive engagements in the Hangar.
