About the Role
Our client is seeking a dynamic Senior Vice President (SVP) of Product Delivery Coach to elevate product delivery practises across their enterprise. This pivotal role is centred on hands-on product coaching, driving daily coaching and facilitation within product pods and groups, shaping onboarding and training programmes, and ensuring enterprise-level alignment between strategy and delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as a trusted coach for product pods and groups, offering hands-on support in product management delivery practises and fostering cross-platform collaboration.
• Facilitate retrospectives, sprint reviews, backlog refinements, and other essential activities to assist Product Owners (POs) and Product Managers (PMs) in Pods and Groups, embedding best practises that align with a product-led development model.
• Review and refine user stories, initiatives, epics, and requirements to ensure clarity, traceability, and adherence to regulatory, risk, and audit standards.
• Serve as a connector across pods, addressing platform-related product inquiries and aligning initiatives across client, product, and geographic dimensions.
• Collaborate with product and technology leadership to enable timely, client-centred delivery while balancing regulatory requirements and business priorities.
• Drive the adoption of outcome-based roadmaps, Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), and product success measures, encouraging teams to focus on measurable impact rather than just outputs.
• Support the evolution of teams from project-based to empowered product models, fostering a strong product mindset organisation-wide.
• Contribute to the Product practise through onboarding programmes and ongoing training initiatives that reinforce product delivery standards, regulatory awareness, and cross-pod collaboration.
• Guide product teams in achieving a balance between innovation, speed, and regulatory obligations.

Qualifications & Experience

• 5-9 years of experience in product management, delivery, or product coaching.
• Proven expertise in agile product delivery, backlog management, and cross-functional product coaching, preferably with organisations like General Assembly, Product School, or similar, and within financial services or fintech environments.
• Familiarity with financial services products, platforms, and client segments is highly desirable.
• Demonstrated ability to connect across pods, platforms, and geographies, ensuring alignment in complex organisational structures.
