Overview

Join a purpose driven winning team, committed to results, in an inclusive and high-performing culture. The Value Enablement Lead partners with Domain Leadership, along with Product, and Engineering teams to improve how value flows across Canadian Banking Engineering. This role bridges strategy and execution—translating enterprise value enablement principles into practical, measurable team- and portfolio level practices.

The role combines hands-on coaching with portfolio-level coordination. It enables teams to improve flow, predictability, and learning while identifying systemic constraints and partnering with leadership to address structural barriers. The position fosters self-sufficiency, continuous improvement, and outcome-driven delivery across domains.

Responsibilities

• Partner with Leaders to implement flow-based operating rhythms (e.g., prioritization forums, outcome reviews, dependency alignment).
• Translate enterprise value enablement strategy into actionable portfolio and team-level practices.
• Identify systemic constraints and design structural or process-level experiments with leadership.
• Facilitate inter-domain alignment to improve coordination between business and technology teams.
• Report insights, progress, and support improvement opportunities with senior leadership.
• Coach Product Owners, Engineering Managers, Delivery Leads, and squads on adaptive planning, flow optimization, team orientation, and outcome-based delivery.
• Facilitate planning, review, and improvement sessions focused on learning and measurable outcomes.
• Use delivery data (e.g., cycle time, throughput, predictability, quality trends, engagement metrics) to guide improvement.
• Support teams in visualizing and managing work using appropriate tooling (e.g., Jira, Confluence).
• Cultivate psychological safety, transparency, and a continuous learning culture.
• Coordinate and mentor Delivery practitioners to ensure consistent practices.
• Create shared learning loops across domains to elevate capability.
• Ensure alignment to enterprise value enablement principles.

Qualifications

• Skills: Familiarity and experience with a range of Value Enablement practices and techniques—applied fit-for-purpose, with focus on creating value and avoiding dogma.
• Experience connecting strategy to delivery — mapping outcomes to actors, features, impacts, and results; using visual models to create common understanding of features, systems, products, and technologies.
• Experience enabling teams to own their way of working through visual, flow-based techniques; leading multi-team delivery flows; identifying systemic impediments and driving adoption of improvements; guiding teams to decompose opportunities into increments.
• Experience integrating practices across IT specializations; applying feedback-driven practices that encourage teamwork; applying techniques that foster psychological safety, constructive conflict, and consultative decision making.
• Experience connecting work to measurable outcomes—estimating and prioritizing based on value, using qualitative and quantitative validation to learn and iterate toward outcomes.
• Evidence of strong "power skills": Learner–teacher, thriving in ambiguity, highly collaborative, authentic and transparent, passionate about outcomes, professionally creative.
• University degree in Business, Technology, or Organizational Design
• 7–10 years of experience in delivery transformation, product development, or continuous improvement roles
• Solid understanding of lean and flow-based delivery models
• Skilled in group facilitation, metrics interpretation, and leadership coaching
