Our Product Management team is looking for people to help inspire the organisation and our customers, to go 'somewhere new', by ensuring we successfully deliver our products and helping to build a portfolio of next generation data, services and platforms.

We want you to contribute to the transformation of OS, deliver commercial growth and empower our customers to meet their goals. Most of all, you'll play a critical role in helping OS to realise its vision: to be recognised as world leaders in geospatial services; creating location insight for positive impact.

About the role

We are looking for a Product Manager to play a key role in managing our products, which are used by customers across the Public Sector and OS Partners for a wide range of applications. The Products team is at the heart of our business, helping us realise our ambition and purpose as a world leading geospatial data organisation.

This specific role is focused on our data distribution platform, the OS Data Hub and our Errors and Omissions service, as well our crowd-sourcing and expert-sourcing services and propositions.

You will act as an authority on customer priorities throughout the delivery process, setting a vision for the product and driving relevant feedback to inform continuous improvement.

You may have a background in digital platforms, data, software and services whether for start-ups, large organisations or within the public sector and are looking to take on a new challenge. Experience in or strong understanding of digital platforms or data science is also desirable but not essential.

To be the successful candidate you must demonstrate your track record against the following criteria in your application:

• Excellent understanding of customer needs and market insight and ability to translate this into a strategy and roadmap for future product development
• Excellent Product ownership with experience championing your products and propositions internally and externally to ensure the execution of marketing communications, product-led investment programmes and sales engagement to achieve within-year revenue targets

Location

We embrace a hybrid working model where we believe the choice is with the individual on when they work from our fantastic office or from home.
