Product Practice Coordinator - Banking
We are supporting a large bank within their CTO function and are looking to onboard a Product Operations / Product Practice contractor to their Sheffield-based offices (hybrid with 3 days per week required on-site).
This role sits within the Product Management Practice and focuses on supporting Product Owners and improving how the product function operates across the organisation.
This is an initial 6 month contract, with extension expected, and the role is inside IR35.
Please note: this is not a Product Owner role.
It is focused on coordination, enablement and supporting product best practice across multiple teams.
Key responsibilities:- Supporting the rollout and adoption of product management frameworks
- Planning, coordinating and scheduling product practice initiatives
- Organising internal product events (learning cohorts, masterclasses, showcases, speaker sessions)
- Supporting alignment of roadmaps and delivery activity to OKRs
- Assisting Product Owners with structure, tooling and ways of working
- Producing internal communications and materials (updates, summaries, learning content)
- Tracking progress and ensuring visibility across practice initiatives
- Has experience working alongside Product Owners in an Agile environment
- Understands core product management principles and lifecycle
- Is highly organised and comfortable with planning, coordination and scheduling

- Is confident facilitating sessions and supporting community-style forums

- Has exposure to OKRs and strategy-to-execution alignment (desirable)
This is a structured but visible role, so strong communication skills and a proactive mindset are essential.
Please note the 3 days in the Sheffield office is a firm requirement, therefore the bank have a strong preference for individuals located within commutable distance of Sheffield.
