Title:  Value Enablement Lead

Requisition ID: 252775 

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. 

Is this role right for you? In this role, you will:

•    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.

Do you have the skills that will enable you to succeed in this role? We'd love to work with you if you have:

•    Candidates require familiarity and experience with a range of "Value Enablement" practices and techniques — sufficient that they can apply these in a fit-for-purpose way. With a focus on creating value, not applying dogma. Candidates need to understand when and why to take advantage of a practice, and on what they achieve.
•    Experience connecting strategy to delivery — mapping outcomes to actors, features, impacts, and results. Experience using visual models and maps to create common understanding of the behavior and relationships between features, systems, products, and technologies. Comfortable helping others understand cause and effect by connecting the dots between the moving parts into a coherent whole.
•    Experience enabling teams and larger groups to own their way of working through visual, flow-based techniques. Have experience leading multi-team efforts through a coordinated delivery flow. Have guided larger groups through identification of systemic impediments and improvement adoption that attack sources of delay. Led teams to tackle dysfunction, speed up, and improve through evidence rather than ceremony. Facilitate decomposing opportunities into increments that can be built and validated independently.
•    Experience introducing practices that merge typical IT specializations both in the team and support the team. Experience applying one or more family of feedback driven practices (e.g. Product, Engineering, Design) that are encourage a high degree of teamwork. Experience in the practical application of techniques that encourage psychological safety, productive conflict and consultative decision making.Experience connecting work to measurable outcomes—estimating and prioritizing based on value, and using both qualitative discovery (e.g., validation with real users) and quantitative validation (e.g. usage metrics) to learn what works before scaling. Experience guiding teams to build small, measure impact, and adapt—using stakeholder and customer feedback to steer delivery toward outcomes rather than output.
•    More critical than expertise in any particular set of methods or frameworks are that candidates can demonstrate evidence of "power skills"—the capabilities that serve as the true foundation for impact in this role: Learner–teacher: learns to teach; enables others to master the craft of product, value, and tech delivery ; Thrives in ambiguity: excels in uncertainty and leads others through it toward emergent solutions; Highly collaborative: builds trust across domains and levels; facilitates environments of co-creation ; Authentic and transparent: helps others; models productive conflict; creates an environment of psychological safety ; Passionate: outcome-driven, relentless about flow and value; can inspire others to raise the bar ; Professionally creative: balances rigor with adaptability; brings fresh thinking without sacrificing discipline
•    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
•    Experience in large, matrixed financial or technology organizations preferred
•    Solid consulting skills - strategic thinking, tactical execution, pragmatism, professional deliverable creation
