Who We Are  

Version 1 is a values-led technology consultancy with a growing, passionate 20+ strong product community. We work as trusted partners to our clients embedding within their teams, building capability, and leaving things better than we found them. 

Our product community sits within the Transformation Design Group (TDG), in the Digital Data and Cloud capability of Version 1. TDG specialises in tackling complex, systemic challenges - breaking them down through research, evidence and data-driven insight to design solutions that work for users. 

We operate with no ego and high trust. We experiment, learn quickly, and share openly so that everyone benefits. 

Here's what you can expect from us:  

• A people-first culture where we prioritise wellbeing and sustainable ways of working. 

• A growing Product community with active mentoring, shared learning, and the opportunity to shape how product management is applied across the organisation. 

• Flexibility and autonomy to do great work, however you do it best. 

• Genuine investment in your growth - from funded learning to industry events, we back you to keep improving your craft. 

Who You Are: 

You build and lead high-performing teams, solve the right problems to drive outcomes, and bring clarity and alignment through storytelling.  

You lead with curiosity and empathy, asking the right questions that get to the heart of a problem. You create environments where diverse perspectives are heard and the best ideas can emerge, wherever they come from.  

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.  

More specifically, you are:  

• Proven - you have a strong track record of leading end-to-end product delivery, from shaping the problem through to delivering measurable impact 

• User-centred - the needs of the people you're building for are always your North Star. 

• Commercially aware - you understand how product decisions relate to commercial realities like contract scope, client value and pipeline. 

• Strategically minded - you connect the dots between user needs, business goals, commercial opportunities, and delivery realities. 

• A storyteller - you make the complex simple and craft compelling narratives that bring others with you. 

• Emotionally intelligent - you know how to read a room, build trust, and navigate disagreement with respect. 

• Adaptable - you thrive in ambiguity, bring structure where there is none, and can onboard quickly in any domain and any context. 

• Accountable - you make tough calls, hold yourself and others to account, and aren’t afraid to say no to ensure a product succeeds. 

• A multiplier and a mentor - you drive teams forward and you make everyone around you better, including focused mentoring to develop skills and confidence. 

• A wave-maker - you challenge thinking across the organisation, redefine best practice, and continually push for better ways of working. 

How You Operate: 

We believe great product management is about outcomes, not outputs. 

Here's what that looks like day to day: 

• 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. 

• Shape and secure work - turn client needs into high-value opportunities, develop strong propositions, and bring together teams to deliver impact 

• Set others up for success - equip your team and others with the structure, guidance and frameworks needed to deliver effectively. 

• Drive progress - take ownership and ensure momentum, including turning around teams when needed 

• Deliver with integrity - do the right thing, including having difficult conversations when needed, so we can proudly stand behind our work. 

When working with our clients, expectations are often aligned to SFIA and DDaT frameworks. 

We are looking for people who do great work. If that's you, and you don't match all the criteria above, we would like you to apply anyway!
