We're Synechron, a global consultancy Laser-focused on accelerating digital initiatives in financial services. With over 14,500 members of staff across 17 countries and a unique mix of end-to-end digital, business and technology services, we help clients solve complex challenges with modern and innovative solutions.

We're big enough to be taken seriously, yet small enough to operate with an agile, open, relationship-driven approach. Our clients come to us with problems that need genuine thought, intelligence and knowledge; we're not just putting bodies on seats.

• Coach and mentor team members in agile best practices, ensuring adherence to agile principles and methodologies.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to gather requirements, prioritize work, and facilitate effective sprint planning and execution.
• Drive continuous improvement by identifying areas for optimization, implementing process enhancements, and fostering a culture of innovation and agility.
