Create your best future and join Westpac as a Scrum Master in Financial Crime Transformation.
As a Scrum Master, you’ll support cross‑functional teams within Westpac, helping deliver key Financial Crime initiatives through strong Agile practices, effective planning and continuous improvement. You’ll work closely with Release Train Leads, Product Owners, Business Analysts, Change Managers, technology teams and subject matter experts to manage sprint delivery, facilitate Agile ceremonies and proactively remove blockers.
You’ll use delivery metrics such as velocity, work in progress and squad health to identify opportunities to improve performance, while coaching squads to become increasingly accountable and self‑managing. You’ll also manage dependencies across teams, support backlog and planning readiness, and provide clear visibility of delivery through Jira and Confluence. You’ll own delivery improvements, help teams deliver safely, and make an impact by building consistent, sustainable ways of working across transformation initiatives.
