Salary: £61,000 - 101,000 per year

Requirements:

• We are looking for a proven product practitioner with a strong grasp of the fundamentals and experience putting them into action to drive real, measurable impact.
• We value a user-centred approach, with the needs of the people we are building for as the North Star.
• We need someone strategically minded who can connect user needs, business goals, and delivery realities.
• We are looking for a strong storyteller who can make the complex simple and craft compelling narratives that bring others with them.
• We value emotional intelligence, including the ability to read a room, build trust, and navigate disagreement with respect.
• We need someone adaptable who thrives in ambiguity, brings structure where there is none, and can onboard quickly.
• We are looking for an accountable person who makes tough calls, holds themselves and others to account, and is not afraid to say no to ensure a product succeeds.
• We value someone who can act as a multiplier and drive teams forward while making everyone around them better.
• Experience working within SFIA and DDaT frameworks is desirable, but not essential.

Responsibilities:

• Lead with vision by setting a clear direction and reinforcing it through team discussions, planning sessions, and stakeholder updates.
• Frame problems before solutions by continuously discovering, asking the right questions, and ensuring the team is solving the right problem.
• Champion the user by bringing real user insight into every conversation and decision, shaping priorities and trade-offs.
• Collaborate openly across design, engineering, data, and policy as true problem-solving partners.
• Facilitate with purpose by running workshops and meetings that lead to clear decisions and shared understanding.
• Drive progress by taking ownership and ensuring the team gets over the line.
• Deliver with integrity by doing the right thing, including having difficult conversations when needed, so we can proudly stand behind our work.
• Own the organisational roadmap by planning, prioritising, and communicating across many teams simultaneously.
• Surface and resolve cross-organisational dependencies and make sequencing decisions when priorities compete.
• Govern suppliers and partners by influencing organisations we do not control and resolving tensions constructively.
• Navigate difficult conversations across civil servant teams, operational stakeholders, and other suppliers with tact.
• Shape and secure incoming work by spotting high-value opportunities, crafting compelling propositions, and shaping the team needed to win and deliver great work.
