Job Summary
Transformation Practitioner (inside IR35)
A major UK banks cybersecurity function is preparing for large-scale change starting with a lean seeded phase this year and a bigger build from next year. The bank wants to prove value in quarters through a qualitative business review rather than commit to a big programme upfront. The focus is control compliance and safer faster engineering journeys. The engagement runs through a partner consultancy who holds the direct client relationship.

What the client wants
People who feel like practitioners not coaches. They work alongside the banks own portfolio managers and Scrum Masters act as extended resource and show the change by doing the work rather than instructing from the side. They want consultants who are framework-agnostic and heavy on real delivery
The team
Three people to spearhead the first phase each carrying a specific named piece of the problem so the client sponsor can hand it off and focus elsewhere. One example given directly by the client sponsor: portfolio slicing redesign and shaping into value streams.
Core responsibilities
Take ownership of one named problem area within the transformation and act as the go-to person for it
Work embedded inside the banks teams alongside portfolio managers and Scrum Masters rather than running separate coaching sessions
Build early visible wins within the first quarter to support continued funding
Contribute to the shaping and language of the approach so it reads as practical guidance rather than a branded methodology
Navigate a risk-averse highly regulated environment with judgement and patience
Ideal profile
Strong track record in a large complex regulated environment; banking or financial services preferred
Comfortable working as an embedded resource rather than a visiting advisor
Able to flex approach to the clients context no fixed playbook
Confident engaging at exec and board level and equally comfortable doing hands-on delivery work
Prior exposure to cybersecurity technology risk or a comparable control-focused function is a strong plus
Trusted low-maintenance operators who need guardrails rather than close supervision
Required Skills:
agile
