We are recruiting a Senior Product Manager to lead a government Discovery focused on improving access to bovine tuberculosis testing and animal-health information. You will establish the product vision, prioritise user and organisational needs, and define a deliverable minimum viable product for a future digital service used by livestock keepers and veterinary professionals.

Working with the Service Owner and a multidisciplinary team, you will translate research and evidence into a clear Alpha recommendation, backlog, roadmap and measurement framework.

Role responsibilities

• Set the product vision and strategy for a new keeper-facing digital service.

• Lead prioritisation across user value, organisational benefit, cost, delivery risk and value for money.

• Represent the needs of livestock keepers and veterinary professionals using research evidence.

• Own the prioritised problem statements and value case, connecting user needs with business outcomes.

• Define and prioritise the MVP alongside service design and technical architecture leads.

• Produce the recommended Alpha scope, backlog, roadmap and delivery options.

• Establish success measures, indicators and baseline assumptions.

• Assess alignment with related livestock-information initiatives, avoiding duplication and clarifying ownership.

Key experience and requirements

• Senior product-management experience within government digital services.

• Strong experience leading products through Discovery and preparing evidence-based recommendations for Alpha.

• Experience shaping new services without an established product, backlog or delivery model.

• Strong prioritisation and value-articulation skills.

• Experience defining product outcomes, success measures, indicators and baselines.

• Strong knowledge of agile and lean delivery, user-centred design and product lifecycle management.

• Confidence making strategic decisions on product scope, value and acceptance.

• Strong stakeholder-management skills across multidisciplinary teams and complex organisations.
