Summary
Team members have specialised knowledge and a calling to build on it. We want the best people to come to the Home Office and work in the diverse roles and communities they’re passionate about. This is how we produce exceptional outcomes.
Due to business requirements this post is available on a Full Time/Job Share/Flexible Working basis. Where business needs allow, some roles may be suitable for a combination of office and home-based working. Where this is the case, employees will be expected to spend a minimum of 60% of their working time in the office. Queries can be raised to the address at the bottom of the advert.
We value diversity and inclusion and welcome applications from the widest diversity of backgrounds, cultures, and experiences. We particularly encourage applications from women, people with disabilities and LGBT+ as they are currently under-represented in the Home Office at this grade level. Appointments will be made on merit based on fair and open competition.
We are currently recruiting Product Managers for two distinct portfolios: Data Services & Analytics and Police and Public Protection Technology. Below are the summaries for each portfolio.
Within DDaT, Data Services & Analytics (DSA) is among the most advanced data analytics centres in Government. At the heart of the Home Office’s data transformation, DSA delivers strategic value through innovative data insight services. It leads in applying analytics to real Government challenges, helping the department achieve its mission. In this role, you’ll manage business-critical products used daily across the Home Office. Success relies on leveraging cutting-edge technologies to build secure, resilient, and user-focused solutions. DSA’s work ensures the department remains responsive to evolving needs, driving efficiency and informed decision-making through data.
The Police and Public Protection Technology Portfolio (PPPT), part of the Home Office’s Digital Data and Technology (DDaT), delivers digital solutions for policing and public protection. Serving all UK police forces and over 20 law enforcement agencies, PPPT designs, builds, and supports major transformation programmes like NLEDP and HOB. It also maintains critical systems such as the Police National Computer (PNC) and Police National Database (PND), and leads infrastructure upgrades like LECN and LECP. Within PPPT, the National Communications Data Service (NCDS) ensures communications data is accessible and operationally valuable amid ongoing technical and business change.
A Product Manager will use their knowledge of user needs and business goals to frame and solve problems and set priorities for delivery teams. You will be responsible for the overall vision and quality of the product being delivered (sometimes in conjunction with a Senior or Lead Product Manager).
You will identify opportunities for improving business outcomes and enhancing benefits, looking to continuously improve the quality, capability and efficiency of your product. You will have the final say on quality and whether something is ready to be released into production. In addition, you will build a shared understanding between the development team, stakeholders and end users about what your product does and how it achieves the outcomes it needs to achieve.
