Scrum Master - Commodities, Trade & Transition

As a Scrum Master, you’ll join the Westpac Institutional Bank’s Commodities, Trade & Transition team, working across markets, product, technology, data and risk in a complex and fast-moving environment.

This is an opportunity to work with newly formed squads and play a key role in establishing them from the ground up. You’ll bring experience helping teams establish their Agile foundations, working rhythms and delivery disciplines, and coaching them through the stages of team development towards sustainable high performance and self-management.

You’ll facilitate sprint planning, stand-ups, backlog refinement, reviews and retrospectives, making sure each session leads to clear decisions, shared priorities and meaningful progress. Working closely with Product Owners, engineers and delivery leaders, you’ll help remove roadblocks, manage risks and coordinate dependencies across teams.

You’ll use Jira and delivery insights to make progress and constraints visible, identify bottlenecks and continuously improve planning, flow and predictability.

This role is based in Sydney, with a minimum of three days each week in the office.

You’ll bring practical Agile delivery experience, strong facilitation skills and a collaborative approach to helping teams perform at their best.

• Proven hands-on experience performing Scrum Master responsibilities, whether in a dedicated Scrum Master role or as a significant part of an Agile delivery role, within banking, financial services or another complex regulated environment.
• Confident facilitation skills across sprint planning, stand-ups, backlog refinement, reviews and retrospectives.
• Strong Jira capability, including backlog and sprint management, dashboards, reporting, dependency tracking and flow metrics.
• The ability to coach teams, encourage accountability and support squads to become increasingly self-managing.
• A collaborative approach to managing risks, resolving roadblocks and coordinating work across multiple squads and stakeholders. Experience in financial services or another complex, regulated environment would be valuable.
