Agile Strategy and Transformation - Financial Services in London

A leading global management consultancy is growing its Agile Strategy & Transformation practice within Financial Services. This team is recognised as a thought leader in organisational agility, helping major banks and financial services organisations reimagine how they operate, deliver value, and respond to change.

This is a strategy-focused advisory role, not a delivery or hands-on coaching position. The team is seeking candidates with experience in shaping enterprise-wide agile strategy, operating models, and ways of working, rather than delivery-only Project Managers or Agile Coaches.

You will work alongside senior executives to design and embed sustainable, value-driven change across complex, highly regulated organisations.

• Lead and contribute to agile strategy and transformation programmes for Financial Services clients.
• Design and embed enterprise agile operating models aligned with commercial and regulatory objectives.
• Advise executives and senior leaders on adopting and sustaining agile ways of working at scale.
• Connect organisational strategy to portfolios, products, and teams to deliver measurable outcomes.
• Support the transition from projects to products, including funding models, governance, and prioritisation.
• Work in blended client-consulting teams, enabling change with clients, not just for them.
• Contribute to a vibrant agile community alongside experts in strategy, digital, operational excellence, and change management.

• Strong Financial Services domain knowledge (banking, insurance, asset management, payments, or pensions).
• Proven experience in agile transformation at scale, ideally in a consulting or advisory environment.
• Experience designing business and operating models that function end-to-end across organisations.
• Executive-level stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Experience enabling organisational change through skills, behaviours, and leadership alignment.
• Exposure to shared services, operations, and engineering interlock within large enterprises.

• SAFe (including SPCT), LeSS, or Scrum@Scale.
• Certified Kanban (or equivalent).
• Lean Portfolio Management (LPM).
• Product lifecycle management and product operating models.
• Experience supporting regulatory change (e.g., Consumer Duty).
• Experience leading or running consulting assignments.

Location: London-based, with hybrid working (typically 2–3 days per week in office or on client site). Client travel required depending on assignment.
