Senior Product Manager - UK Government Contract| URGENT

Job description

Senior Product Manager – OneITS & OneView | UK Government Contract (via Systems Integrator) | £490/day | BPSS

We're recruiting a Senior Product Manager to own the strategic vision and delivery direction for OneITS and OneView — two interconnected products sitting at the heart of a major UK government department's Income Tax landscape, spanning PAYE, Making Tax Digital (MTD), and Self Assessment.

This is a senior, enterprise-level role for someone who can operate comfortably across strategy, discovery, architecture and governance — translating ambiguity into a clear, deliverable roadmap, and building genuine buy-in from senior stakeholders along the way.

What you'll be doing

Product Strategy & Vision

• Owning and evolving the strategic vision for OneITS and OneView, aligned to the department's wider business objectives
• Developing and maintaining product strategies, roadmaps and outcome measures across multiple interconnected products
• Translating strategic objectives into deliverable outcomes and prioritised opportunities
• Supporting OneITS guiding principles and target-state propositions
• Identifying opportunities to reuse existing departmental products and capabilities before commissioning anything new

Discovery & User-Centred Design

• Leading complex discovery activity to surface user needs, business opportunities, risks and constraints
• Championing evidence-based decision-making through user research, service design and performance data
• Defining and testing hypotheses, assumptions and product concepts
• Working with multidisciplinary teams to iterate prototypes, service concepts and future-state journeys
• Balancing long-term strategic outcomes against short-term delivery pressure

Enterprise Product Leadership

• Maintaining oversight of dependencies across OneITS, OneView, PAYE, MTD, Self Assessment and related Income Tax initiatives
• Spotting opportunities for convergence, simplification and service integration
• Supporting capability mapping across the Income Tax landscape
• Partnering with Enterprise Architects and Service Designers to keep product direction aligned to architectural and service strategy
• Developing options and recommendations for sequencing delivery and investment

Stakeholder Management

• Building strong relationships with senior business, operational, policy and technology stakeholders
• Influencing decision-making through complex governance structures
• Facilitating workshops and strategic discussions to resolve ambiguity and build alignment
• Communicating complex product and service concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Representing the product vision at governance forums and investment boards

Delivery & Governance

• Owning and maintaining prioritised product backlogs where required
• Supporting delivery planning across Discovery, Alpha and Beta phases
• Managing product risks, assumptions, dependencies and constraints
• Defining measurable outcomes and success criteria
• Contributing to business cases, funding requests and delivery plans

The details

• Location: Remote-first — no required travel, though occasional meetings may be suggested
• Start date: 1st October (potential to start earlier for the right candidate)
• Rate: £490 per day
• Clearance: BPSS (must be able to obtain/hold)
• Client: UK Government department, engaged via a Tier 1 systems integration partner (details on request)

If you're a senior product professional who thrives on enterprise-level ambiguity, cross-product dependency management, and getting complex organisations to move in the same direction — this is a great next contract.
