You'll be keen to work on internal, technical platforms and to apply your product management skills to a platform-as-product approach. Prior experience of Platform Product Management is desirable but not essential.

We’re interested in people who have experience of:

• product managing digital products in a fast-paced environment, working with multidisciplinary, agile teams, – from discovery to delivery, and continuous, data-led improvement

• developing and improving a product’s operational maturity as well as ensuring a consistent approach to user and technical operational support - anticipating and mitigating problems before they arise and helping others think similarly

• engaging with stakeholders, senior leaders and internal teams through a range of channels to identify a common set of needs and priorities, or to explain what you are doing and how you are doing it in clear and compelling ways.  Using these skills to develop and agree tactical and long term plans, supporting necessary decisions

• modern technologies used in delivery of cloud-based software products (especially AI) - and an ability to explain the purpose and constraints of these technologies to non-technical people

• developing and selling a product and commercial strategy to secure funding and support for the product.  Ideally you will have been involved in budget planning, forecasting and procurement processes, as well as understanding granular financial costs per sprint to delivered value
