Location: Glasgow (2–3 days onsite)

Duration: 9–12 Month Contract

Rate: Competitive (Outside IR35)

The Opportunity

Chapman Tate Associates are recruiting for an Interim Head of Technology for a bank serving millions of customers, currently undergoing a significant transformation of its technology and delivery landscape. This is a high-impact interim leadership role, reporting into executive level stakeholders and will play a key part in shaping and scaling the organisation’s agile transformation journey.

The Transformation Journey

The organisation is actively moving toward a modern, product-centric, digital-first operating model, with early success already achieved. However, there’s still significant work ahead, including:

• Scaling agile ways of working across the enterprise
• Embedding capacity-based planning
• Establishing agile budgeting
• Developing Value Management Office (VMO) capability
• Driving consistent adoption beyond early success areas

The Role

As Interim Head of Technology, Change & Integration, you will:

• Lead the next phase of agile transformation at scale (SAFe)
• Drive cultural and mindset change across teams
• Coach and support teams through adoption challenges
• Act as a visible, credible transformation leader
• Operate at a senior programme leadership level, owning delivery outcomes

This is a hands-on leadership role—ideal for someone who thrives on delivering real change rather than just designing it.

What We’re Looking For

Essential Experience:

• Proven track record leading large-scale agile transformations (SAFe or similar)
• Experience scaling agile beyond pilot teams into enterprise-wide adoption
• Background in complex, regulated environments (financial services highly desirable)
• Strong programme-level leadership capability

Key Skills & Attributes:

• Exceptional stakeholder engagement and influencing ability
• Ability to bring teams “on the journey,” including resistant stakeholders
• Hands-on, delivery-focused mindset (not purely strategic)
• Natural advocate for agile ways of working

This is a rare opportunity to step into a high-visibility transformation role within a complex, purpose-driven financial services organisation. You’ll have the autonomy and influence to shape how agile is scaled across the business and leave a lasting impact.
