Job description

This is a long term Contract to hire opportunity. Candidates MUST be local to Denver, CO, Mill Valley, CA, New York, NY , or Irvine, CA. This role is not open to C2C, OPT, or Visa consideration. No vendor support of any kind!

Overview

We are seeking a highly driven, delivery-focused Scrum Master to support corporate finance technology initiatives across FP&A, Treasury, Trading, Securitization, and Lending systems. This role requires more than facilitating ceremonies—you must understand how financial systems operate, how data flows across treasury and FP&A platforms, and how to translate complex financial processes into actionable Agile delivery.

This position blends Scrum leadership (50%), Application/Platform Support (25%), and Business Analysis (25%). The ideal candidate is comfortable working within Workday Financials, trade lifecycle/treasury platforms, and partnering with finance stakeholders to ensure technology solutions align with real-world financial operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead standups, sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives with a focus on execution and delivery outcomes
• Drive sprint accountability and ensure teams deliver quality work at pace
• Remove impediments quickly and escape effectively to protect delivery timelines
• Partner with engineering, DevOps, and finance technology teams to support structured releases and CI/CD practices
• Ensure stories are well-defined, properly sized, and aligned to business value
• Continuously improve team velocity, predictability, and quality

Application / Platform Support (25%)

• Provide functional support across Workday Financials and treasury/trade lifecycle systems
• Assist with troubleshooting, release validation, and enhancement support
• Serve as a liaison between technical teams and finance users during issue resolution and releases
• Support backlog refinement and prioritization based on platform capabilities and constraints

Business Analysis (25%)

• Work closely with FP&A, Treasury, Trading, and Lending stakeholders to gather and clarify requirements
• Translate financial processes into user stories, acceptance criteria, and technical tasks
• Ensure alignment between financial operations and system functionality
• Support backlog grooming and prioritization with Product Owners and Finance leaders

Required Experience & Skills

• Strong background supporting FP&A, Treasury, Trading, Securitization, or Lending technology projects
• Clear understanding of financial process flows within FP&A and Treasury systems
• Hands‑on experience with Workday Financials (must be Financials, not HCM/payroll/recruiting)
• Experience with a Trade Lifecycle or Treasury Management System, such as:
• FIS, TPG, Bloomberg, ION, Murex, Calypso (Adenza), Kyriba, GTreasury, SAP Treasury, or similar
• Proven experience delivering technology initiatives in environments using CI/CD, structured release management, and DevOps practices
• Demonstrated success as a Scrum Master who drives execution, not just status reporting
• Strong business analysis skills bridging finance stakeholders and technical teams

We value candidates who have applied AI in their daily work, such as:

• Using AI to build presentations, documentation, or analysis
• Automating processes or workflows using AI tools
• Writing or improving scripts/programs using AI
• Applying AI to streamline operational or project tasks

What Success Looks Like

• Agile teams consistently meet sprint commitments with high quality
• Financial system enhancements are delivered smoothly and predictably
• Backlogs are clear, prioritized, and aligned to finance business goals
• Workday Financials and treasury/trade platforms are effectively supported
• Finance stakeholders trust the delivery process and feel well-supported
