Scrum Master - Commodities, Trade & Transition

Create your best future and join Westpac as a Scrum Master - Commodities, Trade & Transition

What’s the role?

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.

What do I need?

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.

Why join us? 

We’re obsessed with becoming our customers' #1 banking partner for life and we’re looking for people who are passionate about helping us achieve that goal. In return, we’re committed to making Westpac the best place to work in the country. Here are just a few of the ways we’re already doing that:

• Special offers on banking products and discounts from top brands, including generous employee-only mortgage rates!
• Flexible work arrangements to help you achieve a greater work/life balance, and a variety of leave options including Culture, Lifestyle and Wellbeing leave. 
• Tailored learning and development opportunities to help you grow your career within the bank. 
• Lots of opportunities to ‘give back’ to the Community by getting involved in our many volunteering initiatives.
