Project description

The Securitization Technology team delivers and operates platforms that support the end-to-end lifecycle of securitization transactions, enabling funding, risk transfer, regulatory compliance, and reporting for the bank. We are looking for a highly experienced and proactive Senior Scrum Master who acts as the operational leader of one or more Agile teams. This is not a traditional Scrum Master role focused only on facilitating ceremonies. We need a person who takes ownership of delivery, drives execution, identifies risks early, removes blockers, challenges the status quo, and creates transparency across all stakeholders. The successful candidate will operate with a CEO mindset for their teams: • Own outcomes, not activities. • Drive accountability and execution. • Escalate risks before they become issues. • Build high-performing teams. • Ensure commitments are delivered. • Continuously improve ways of working.
