About You
Are you an exceptional leader who can inspire a high performing team of product managers to challenge the skills gap within the construction industry? CITB has a unique opportunity for a brilliant product lead to deliver a vision and inspire the next generation of talent into the sector through our careers products.
About CITB
CITB aims to lead the construction sector by example to ensure fairness, inclusion, and respect for all. We seek to develop an organisation which reflects Britain’s diverse population, and our main objective is to create a culture that enables our customers to strive towards an organisational community that is reflective of today’s society.
Role purpose:
This role will lead the development and delivery of CITB’s Careers Products portfolio, a primary element of achieving CITB’s organisational purpose. This includes end-to-end responsibility, from designing the careers products required to deliver CITB organisational strategy, to operational delivery, performance management, and ultimately ensuring they deliver the required impact for a skilled, competent, and inclusive workforce.
The portfolio for the Product Lead will include:
• Go Construct - Go Construct is a careers portal which informs and inspires potential new entrants towards a career in construction. The website delivers a single point of access to construction careers information and immerses the user in interactive experiences to support their journey towards the sector.
• SkillBuild – SkillBuild is the UK’s leading construction ‘new talent’ competition and operates via a series of regional competitions, leading to a National Final. It has been described as the Construction Olympics and creates content to support strategic pipeline and training supply activity.
• Go Construct STEM Ambassadors – The Go Construct Ambassador initiative effectively promotes construction careers to a large and diverse group of potential new entrants, playing a pivotal role in addressing the industry's skills shortage.
• Specialist Applied Skills Programme (SAP) - The specialist applied-skills programmes (SAP) are 18-month long new entrant training programmes. The programmes lead to a vocational qualification (NVQ/SVQ) and are considered by trade associations and employers as 'sector apprenticeships'.
• In addition, the role will be responsible for associated product activity which is still in the development phase.
Key responsibilities and accountabilities:
1. To ensure that CITB has the right mix of careers products to deliver the organisational strategy, and impact for the construction industry workforce. This includes developing and being accountable for products that align with organisational strategy.
2. To lead the product teams that are responsible for design, development, delivery and continuous improvement of the products in the portfolio, plus delivery management of an outsourced customer service provision.
3. To ensure the effective operational delivery of the products; through direct reports, other CITB teams and external stakeholders/suppliers.
4. To ensure appropriate product development is undertaken and is aligned with the product strategy.
5. To ensure products deliver the required impact for industry (benefits).
6. To manage commercial products (determining pricing strategies and margins, managing associated cost bases, and analysis of competitor landscape and market share).
7. To manage budgets and forecasts, circa £10m pa
8. To ensure the effective procurement of significant supplier contracts (£60m+ over contract lifetime) delivers the outcomes for the associated products (determining product and pricing specification requirements, quality measures and SLAs/KPIs, and robust and fair evaluation and award of bids).
9. To identify, document and monitor all associated product risks, ensuring mitigating actions are in place (including disaster recovery and business continuity plans).
10. To maintain key internal relationships and external relationships with key stakeholders (working with engagement team colleagues).
11. To act as Careers Products product lead for organisational planning (strategic planning and business planning) to ensure CITB have a coherent set of activities in the area of Careers Products delivering against defined industry needs.
