London, United Kingdom Schroders Full time

Who we're looking for

The Lean thinkers and continuous improvers dedicated to moving organisations and cultures forward.

You recognise that any system optimisation we do is to support your responsibility of delivering value to our business.

You focus on outcomes and pursue the most value for the least effort. You challenge technical working practices of teams and can hold your own in discussions with technical people on topics such as TDD, XP, and shift left testing.

You have a strong background in IT, you hold relevant experience in delivering complex projects in a regulated environment.

Above all you're a pragmatist with an appropriate backpack in technology and methods and understand that lasting change is a marathon and not a sprint and, in the meantime, you'll need to adapt practices to work for current context.

You understand that mindset change is fundamental to the longevity of change above process and practice.

About Schroders

We're a global investment manager. We help institutions, intermediaries and individuals around the world invest money to meet their goals, fulfil their ambitions, and prepare for the future.

We have around 5,000 people on six continents. And we've been around for over 200 years but keep adapting as society and technology changes. What doesn't change is our commitment to helping our clients, and society, prosper.

The base

The role of Delivery Lead is located in Schroders headquarters in London.

The team

You will join the Wealth Technology senior management team to lead two of our agile delivery teams, with team members based in London and Zurich.

You will work closely with technology and business colleagues in Wealth and the wider Schroders business in a highly collaborative and fast-paced environment.

What you'll do
- Responsible for the delivery of a backlog of work associated with one or more products of varied complexity and flagship projects of Wealth Management.
- Build and maintain motivated teams with your product and engineering peers, making sure there is an iterative plan to work towards the regular delivery of value that's balanced between technical improvement and product change.
- Proactively manage dependencies, overcome obstacles, and get the best value against constraints.
- Protect the team and make sure they are able to collaborate, communicate effectively, and focus on what is most important.
- Facilitate the capture and analysis of metrics to provide appropriate insights to the team and their stakeholders, using data and context to demonstrate progress and improvement.
- Work with your Product Lead to help the team get closer to the needs of users, and understand the problem space - ensuring the team and the stakeholders are aligned.
- Work in close collaboration with your engineering and product counterparts - sharing the responsibility for managing those in your teams to support their in-role development and career progression.
- Collaborate with and contribute to the delivery community, helping to define best good practice and contributing to the ongoing improvement to our ways of working.
- Support the smooth running of teams with administrative activities such as budgeting and forecasting.

The knowledge, experience, and qualifications you need
- Demonstratable experience of helping teams set and meet objectives and track their progress towards them.
- Experience of managing multiple initiatives - helping teams provide transparency of their work and their capacity and fostering effective collaboration between teams and stakeholders.
- The tenacity to remove bottlenecks and impediments to efficient delivery.
- Experience leading cross-functional teams through an agile journey, having experienced different challenges and arrived at different solutions for different contexts.
- Ideally you will have coached teams during a period of agile transformation.
- Experience creating agile metrics and reporting - understanding the difference between leading and lagging indicators and the optimum usage of them.
- Solid understanding of agile and lean approaches, and knowledge of organisational psychology, team motivation, and core coaching and facilitation techniques.
- Experience delivering front-to-back technology change, ideally in a Financial Services environment but this is not essential.

What you'll be like
- A natural servant leader who models agile ways of working and inspires others
- Friendly and approachable with a desire to collaborate with a diverse set of people.
- You're mindful of how information may be received and therefore communicate with tact and sensitivity.
- You're comfortable using both business and technology terms.
- You show initiative and thrive in a fast-paced and time-critical environment.
- Capable of remaining positive under pressure.
- You respect the authority of business stakeholders and the direction provided by senior people but are capable of being objective and comfortable providing constructive challenge and
