Role: Interim Head of Technology, Change & Integration
Location: Glasgow (2–3 days onsite)
Duration: 9–12 Month Contract
Rate: Competitive (Outside IR35)
The Opportunity
Chapman Tate Associates are recruiting for an Interim Head of Technology for a bank serving millions of customers, currently undergoing a significant transformation of its technology and delivery landscape. This is a high-impact interim leadership role, reporting into executive level stakeholders and will play a key part in shaping and scaling the organisation’s agile transformation journey.
The Transformation Journey
The organisation is actively moving toward a modern, product-centric, digital-first operating model, with early success already achieved. However, there’s still significant work ahead, including:
* Scaling agile ways of working across the enterprise
* Embedding capacity-based planning
* Establishing agile budgeting
* Developing Value Management Office (VMO) capability
* Driving consistent adoption beyond early success areas
The Role
As Interim Head of Technology, Change & Integration, you will:
* Lead the next phase of agile transformation at scale (SAFe)
* Drive cultural and mindset change across teams
* Coach and support teams through adoption challenges
* Act as a visible, credible transformation leader
* Operate at a senior programme leadership level, owning delivery outcomes
This is a hands-on leadership role—ideal for someone who thrives on delivering real change rather than just designing it.
What We’re Looking For
Essential Experience:
* Proven track record leading large-scale agile transformations (SAFe or similar)
* Experience scaling agile beyond pilot teams into enterprise-wide adoption
* Background in complex, regulated environments (financial services highly desirable)
* Strong programme-level leadership capability
Key Skills & Attributes:
* Exceptional stakeholder engagement and influencing ability
* Ability to bring teams “on the journey,” including resistant stakeholders
* Hands-on, delivery-focused mindset (not purely strategic)
* Natural advocate for agile ways of working
This is a rare opportunity to step into a high-visibility transformation role within a complex, purpose-driven financial services organisation. You’ll have the autonomy and influence to shape how agile is scaled across the business and leave a lasting impact.
