The Retirement Platform is responsible for shaping and delivering the retirement strategy and product vision to help our corporate and individual customers make the most of their financial future. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a significant and diverse change delivery landscape. You will work across teams and develop effective ways of working and embed this within the teams.

About the role:
As a Scrum Master you’ll operate at Team level as a change agent with a passion for working with people and teams to help them reach their best and deliver their best for customers and the bank. There will be opportunity for working flexibly with more than one team to help build ways of working.

- Support the Product Owner and Engineering Lead to prioritise the backlog of work regularly
- Supports the specialists to identify best practices in refinement, prioritisation, stakeholder engagement and introducing tools and techniques.
- Coach and empower the team to self-manage, utilise feedback for continuous learning and improvement in efficient and incremental value delivery.
- Promote psychological safety and wellbeing creating a safe, trusting, and open environment for the team through items like team charters etc
- Coach and support the team to identify blockers / barriers to effective delivery and remove these.
