Product Management Practice Lead

We are seeking an experienced Contract Product Management Practice Lead to help design, scale, and operationalize how product management is practiced across the organization. This role focuses on defining the “how” of product management, including operating models, processes, playbooks, and tooling, rather than owning a specific product.

You will work closely with product, design, and engineering leaders to enable consistent delivery of customer value and business outcomes. This role is ideal for someone who has helped build and mature product management practices at scale, not someone who has only served in individual product manager roles.

• Design and scale the product operating model, including team structures, roles, and decision rights
• Define and standardize product processes across intake, strategy, road mapping, backlog management, QBRs, and investment cycles
• Establish core product ceremonies such as release readiness reviews, post release analyses, and postmortems
• Build and maintain playbooks, templates, and lifecycle guidance through a centralized practice portal
• Standardize metrics and shared language for product success, including OKRs, North Star metrics, product health, and ROI
• Govern and evolve the product tool stack including Jira, Confluence, analytics, and documentation tools
• Lead a Product Guild or Community of Practice and provide coaching and office hours to elevate product capability
• Embed governance for privacy, security, and accessibility standards
• Define and track operating metrics tied to customer success, business ROI, and product outcomes

• 12 to 15 years of overall experience, with deep background in product management, product operations, or portfolio governance
• Proven experience building and scaling product management practices across multiple teams
• Direct experience designing product operating models, portfolio governance, and OKRs
• History of creating high adoption templates, playbooks, and standards
• Experience leading product organizations
• Strong process design and agile practice orientation
• Hands on experience with Jira, Confluence, Excel, and related tooling

Agile coaches and candidates with only product manager experience will not be considered.

• Hybrid role with flexibility to work onsite
• First and second round interviews will be 60 minutes each and conducted onsite
