About the Role

Product Managers at Version 1 sit at the heart of client transformations, operating at senior levels to shape strategy and guide complex programmes. They define vision, own the roadmap, frame problems, champion the user, govern suppliers, navigate with diplomacy, collaborate openly, facilitate effectively, shape incoming work, drive progress, and deliver with integrity.

Responsibilities

• Define and hold the vision — set a clear direction at programme level, reinforce it consistently across teams, stakeholders, and suppliers, and protect it from the entropy that affects every large programme.
• Own the organisational roadmap — plan, prioritise, and communicate across many teams simultaneously, surface and resolve cross-organisationsl dependencies, and make the hard calls about sequencing when everything feels urgent.
• Frame problems before solutions — continuously discover, ask the right questions, and ensure the programme is solving the right problem at the right level.
• Champion the user — bring real user insight into every conversation and every decision, ensuring it shapes priorities and trade-offs even when operating at pace and scale.
• Govern suppliers and partners — influence organisations you don't control, hold them to shared goals, and resolve tensions constructively.
• Navigate with diplomacy — handle difficult conversations across civil servant teams, operational stakeholders, and other suppliers with tact. This environment involves competing priorities and strong opinions; you know how to challenge and hold a position without damaging the relationships that matter.
• Collaborate openly — work across disciplines — design, engineering, data, policy — as true problem-solving partners.
• Facilitate with purpose — run workshops and meetings that lead to clear decisions and shared understanding.
• Shape and secure incoming work — stay close to budget-holders' needs: spotting high-value opportunities, crafting compelling propositions, and shaping the team needed to win and deliver great work.
• Drive progress — take ownership and ensure the team gets over the line.
• Deliver with integrity — do the right thing, including having difficult conversations when needed, so we can proudly stand behind our work.
• Lead with vision - set a clear direction and reinforce it through team discussions, planning sessions, and stakeholder updates.
• Frame problems before solutions - continuously discover, ask the right questions, and ensure the team is solving the right problem.
• Champion the user - bring real user insight into every conversation and every decision, ensuring it shapes priorities and trade-offs.
• Collaborate openly - work across disciplines (design, engineering, data, policy) as true problem-solving partners.
• Facilitate with purpose - run workshops and meetings that lead to clear decisions and shared understanding.
• Drive progress - take ownership and ensure the team gets over the line.
• Deliver with integrity - do the right thing, including having difficult conversations when needed, so we can proudly stand behind our work.

Requirements

• You make decisions and set direction.
• You balance user needs, business priorities, and technical constraints to make clear, timely calls - particularly in uncertainty.
• You focus effort where it will have the greatest impact and bring others with you through those decisions.
• Experience working in SFIA and DDaT frameworks is desirable, but not essential.
