E2E Delivery Owner / Senior Agile Practitioner

Location: London

AMS is the world’s leading provider of Talent Acquisition and Management Services. Our Contingent Workforce Solutions (CWS) service partners with Deutsche Bank to support contingent recruitment processes.

On behalf of Deutsche Bank, we are looking for an E2E Delivery Owner/Senior Agile Practitioner for a 6 month contract based in the bank’s London office on a hybrid working model of 3 days per week in the office and 2 from home.

Deutsche Bank is a global banking business with strong roots in Germany and operations in over 70 countries. Their large but focused footprint gives an established position in Europe plus a significant presence in the Americas and Asia Pacific.

We are seeking an E2E Delivery Owner / Senior Agile Practitioner with a strong technology delivery background to take end-to-end accountability for the delivery of complex software solutions within a regulated banking environment. This role sits firmly within the technology function (not change or transformation) and is best suited to someone who has previously worked as a Developer Lead, Technical Lead, or hands-on technical Project Manager, and has since moved into a senior delivery-focused role.

You will be working directly with onshore engineering squads to drive execution across the full SDLC, from refined requirements through development, testing, and safe production release.

• Own and be fully accountable for end-to-end delivery of the team’s committed backlog, ensuring features are delivered on time and to production-quality standards.
• Work hands-on with Developers, QA, Business Analysts, and DevOps/Platform teams to drive execution, resolve impediments, and manage technical dependencies across systems and platforms.
• Facilitate all core Agile ceremonies (daily stand-ups, sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives) with a strong focus on delivery outcomes rather than process for process’ sake.
• Own release planning and execution, ensuring all technical, operational, governance, and audit requirements are met for safe and compliant production deployments.
• Actively identify, manage, and mitigate delivery risks, dependencies, and blockers, shielding the squad from unnecessary external noise.
• Partner closely with Product Owners and Business Analysts to ensure the backlog is well-defined, prioritised, refined, and ready for engineering execution.
• Track and report on key delivery metrics, producing clear, data-driven status reporting and preparing high-quality presentation materials for senior stakeholders.
• Bridge the gap between technology and business by translating complex technical delivery topics into clear stakeholder-level updates.

• Proven hands-on delivery experience within a Tier-1 bank or similarly regulated financial institution, delivering complex technology solutions into production.
• Strong understanding of on-premise and cloud-based delivery, ideally including Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Deep, practical experience leading cross-functional Agile/Scrum teams within environments subject to strict governance, change, and audit controls.
• Solid technical grounding, with the ability to engage credibly with developers on design, build, testing, and deployment.
• Understand CI/CD pipelines, testing strategies, and release processes.
• Manage dependencies in hybrid cloud/on-prem environments.
• Demonstrable end-to-end SDLC ownership, including requirements, development, testing, release, and post-production stability.
• Expert-level proficiency in Jira and Confluence, including configuring complex workflows, creating delivery dashboards and reports, and structuring effective knowledge bases.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience preparing clear, concise, senior-level decks and updates.
