Agile Coach

Agile Coach
Glasgow

As a Barclays Agile Coach, you will have an exciting chance to be involved with the implementation of a new Agile@Scale transformation strategy. Within this role, you will be coaching and mentoring whilst being responsible for embedding an Agile mindset in all colleagues. Success in this role will be demonstrated through an uplift in the Agile maturity of the change delivery teams, and more efficient delivery throughout. 

Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, established in 1690, with a legacy of success, quality, and innovation. We offer careers that provide endless opportunity – helping millions of individuals and businesses thrive and creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted.

At Barclays, we offer a hybrid working experience that blends the positives of working alongside colleagues at our onsite locations, together with working from home. We have a structured approach where colleagues work at an onsite location on fixed, ‘anchor’, days of the week, for a minimum of two days a week or more, as set by the business area (or nearest equivalent if working part-time hours). Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager. Please note that as we continue to embed our hybrid working environment, we remain in a test and learn phase, which means that working arrangements may be subject to change on reasonable notice to ensure we meet the needs of our business.

What we’re looking for:

•    Accredited Agile practitioner and experience of coaching Senior Leaders (Executive Committee) and fostering a culture of changing mindsets
•    Experience of implementing large-scale Agile transformation at an organisational level
•    Strategic thinker, with solid drive to deliver as well as Self-starter who is able to work independently as well as can collaborate effectively with the wider team
•    Excellent facilitation and negotiation skills with stakeholders at all levels

Skills that will help you in the role

•    Team player to communicate across multiple teams throughout PBWM change delivery
•    Change delivery experience
•    Experience of Agile transformation in a large financial services firm

Where will you be working?

Our new state-of-the-art Campus, right in the heart of Glasgow is a hub of creative collaboration. A place where everyone can bring their true selves to work and reach their full potential. Home to 5,000 of our colleagues, our Tradeston campus will support the community in more ways than one - by creating thousands of new career opportunities and celebrating local artists. A short walk from Central Station on the south of the Clyde, it will be a key location for the Barclays business that will deepen our ties with the city and its communities.
