About this opportunity
Are you an expert Scrum Master who can operate as a change agent with a passion for working with people and stakeholders?
The Onboarding & Relationship Management Lab is part of the Client Servicing & Engagement Platform, within Business & Commercial Banking.
This is a truly exciting area that is trail blazing a new approach to transformation, with a consortium of delivery and consultancy partners.
We're looking for a professional who is nurturing in their approach, brings Agile to life for their teams and is a people person who sees their team members as humans - each with their own individual strengths. You're someone who is open to learning, open to challenging and voicing your opinion, in a constructive manner, and someone who will bring their team along with them rather than enforcing practices and ways of working.
In summary, a Scrum Master is there to help the team deliver more value, more quickly, at a sustainable pace!
You'll be supported by your Chapter Lead and Business Agility Lead, and will support less experienced Scrum Masters in the lab. You’re encouraged to contribute to the community, sharing knowledge and great practice.
As a Scum Master, you’ll:
- Support the Team and Lab to utilise Agile frameworks (Scaling, Scrum, Kanban etc) and Agile events (Scrum of Scrums, PI planning, retrospectives etc)
- Help the Product Owner to run an effective Product Backlog
- Guide the team to break work into small, discrete pieces of value or learning, coaching and empowering to self-manage, utilise feedback for continuous learning and improvement
- Coach and support the team to identify blockers / barriers to effective delivery and remove these.
- Promote best practices in refinement, prioritisation, partner engagement and introducing tools and techniques.
- Enable the team to understand and visualise the optimal sequence of work, measure and understand their performance through metrics (throughput, cycle time, happiness etc) and use this as the basis for their improvement activity.

If you think all banks are the same, you’d be wrong. We’re an innovative, fast-changing business that’s shaping finance as a force for good. A bank that’s empowering its people to innovate, explore possibilities and grow with purpose.
What you’ll need
- Knowledge and understanding of Agile Frameworks (such as the Scrum, Kanban, Lean, SAFe) and have practical experience of working in Agile environments.
- Knowledge and some experience of other techniques that support Agile working, such as Dev Ops, Lean, System Thinking, Queueing Theory, Complex Adaptive systems, Theory of Constraints / Critical Chain.
- Demonstrate knowledge, understanding and experience working with principles and practices designed to improve teams’ ways of working.
- Demonstrate Learning/curious attitude, energy, and enthusiasm for creative disruption and to continuously strive to improve the organisation, team, and your knowledge and skills.
- The ability to learn and grow as a scrum master whilst also sharing this with the chapter
And any experience of this would be really useful:
- Scrum Master Certification – PSM1 or equivalent is desirable however support will be available to achieve this.
