This is a high-impact interim leadership role, reporting into executive level stakeholders and will play a key part in shaping and scaling the organisation’s agile transformation journey. The Transformation Journey The organisation is actively moving toward a modern, product-centric, digital-first operating model, with early success already achieved.

The Role As Interim Head of Technology, Change & Integration, you will:

Lead the next phase of agile transformation at scale (SAFe) Drive cultural and mindset change across teams Coach and support teams through adoption challenges Act as a visible, credible transformation leader Operate at a senior programme leadership level, owning delivery outcomes

This is a hands-on leadership role—ideal for someone who thrives on delivering real change rather than just designing it.

What We’re Looking For

Essential Experience: Proven track record leading large-scale agile transformations (SAFe or similar) Experience scaling agile beyond pilot teams into enterprise-wide adoption Background in complex, regulated environments (financial services highly desirable) Strong programme-level leadership capability

Key Skills & Attributes: Exceptional stakeholder engagement and influencing ability Ability to bring teams “on the journey,” including resistant stakeholders Hands-on, delivery-focused mindset (not purely strategic) Natural advocate for agile ways of working

This is a rare opportunity to step into a high-visibility transformation role within a complex, purpose-driven financial services organisation. You’ll have the autonomy and influence to shape how agile is scaled across the business and leave a lasting impact.
