About the Role

We partner with central and local government clients to support the successful delivery of digital and technology services, working collaboratively to solve problems and enable long-term digital transformation.

As a Senior Product Manager, you will be an expert in product management tools and techniques, supporting and coaching others while working closely with Methods’ senior product managers and wider teams. You will foster an environment of knowledge sharing, best practice, and continuous improvement, ensuring all team members have a valued voice.

Your role will include owning the vision and strategy for multiple products or a single complex, high-risk product, developing product strategies and artefacts to communicate plans and secure stakeholder buy-in.
