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.

• 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

• Enjoys stakeholder engagement and working in a visible, people-facing role

• Is confident facilitating sessions and supporting community-style forums

• Has experience using tools such as Jira / Confluence (desirable)

• 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.
