Strategic C-suite Leader I Digital, data, technology, design and transformation.
As a Senior Product Manager, you can make your own powerful contribution by working on one of our flagship products ‘Report It’. This innovative product combines cutting-edge technology with AI to enable our local residents, businesses and visitors to report street-based issues. For example, reporting fly-tipping, graffiti, highways issues or even noise complaints in a quick, discreet and intuitive way. And with you in our team, we’ll be able to go even further in our work.
Taking on the responsibility to grow this product (with an investment of £1.5million to £2million), you will work with our skilled team of experts to assess multi-layered challenges and define a clear strategy on how we're going to solve these. Utilising a broad range of user-insights and stakeholder priorities to determine outcome-focused roadmaps and the design of prototypes, you will underpin your decisions with qualitative and quantitative data. With ultimate responsibility for defining the nuances of each feature and procuring third-party technologies, you will consider technical capabilities when defining achievable and cost-effective goals. Crucially, you will work with stakeholders every step of the way to ensure they understand and are on-board with your proposals.
We expect you to have significant product management experience, with a background in leading multidisciplinary teams to design and build digital products and services. You will have the opportunity to work with everyone from User Researchers and Service Designers to Delivery Managers, Software Developers and more – you will be not only collaborating but inspiring everyone towards the product vision. Encouraging the team to embrace agile methodologies and user-centred design principles, you will be adept at scaling products and designing prototypes and MVPs.
Your ability to guide organizational leadership towards making the right product decisions, using data-driven and evidence-driven thinking, will be crucial. You will be building strong relationships with business stakeholders to effectively collaborate on product decisions. You will also have the responsibility for line managing Product Managers and/or Product Analysts. As such, you will be an inspirational leader who is committed to helping colleagues develop their skills.
With a good knowledge of issues impacting local government and the relevance of GDPR in product delivery, it would be useful if you are well-versed in cross-government Digital Data and Technology (DDaT) capability framework and Government Digital Services (GDS) standards.
On top of your extensive skills and experience, you will share our determination to use technology for good, and you will have the resilience to overcome operational constraints without ever compromising on your high standards. A can-do attitude and great communication and influencing skills will take you a long way in our team!
