Job Description
Agile Strategy & Transformation Consultant – Financial Services
* Location: London (Hybrid)
* Level: Principal Consultant
* Salary: Up to £96,000 + £6,000 travel allowance
* Bonus: Up to 15%, plus pension and full benefits package
Overview
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.
Key Responsibilities
* 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.
Required Experience
* 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.
Desirable Experience
* 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 & Working Pattern
* London-based, with hybrid working (typically 2–3 days per week in office or on client site).
* Client travel required depending on assignment.
