Summary
As a Product Manager you will form part of the leadership team for the Home Office’s immigration and asylum case working service, known as Atlas. Atlas supports over 30,000 business users to casework regular and irregular immigration applications, as well as support Immigration Enforcement and Border Force services. These services support millions of immigration applications, and we operate in a highly political and critical area.
These roles are specifically to lead product development streams within both the non-asylum and asylum sides of the case working service, made up of multiple specific and cross-cutting products. Atlas is a complex and sizeable service and Product Managers will lead development in their streams, coordinating with their peers to deliver end to end outcomes in Atlas that work both for their specific business area and the wider Atlas eco-system.
The full Atlas delivery team, made up of over 300 digital, data and technology specialists across multiple portfolios and suppliers, are in the process of moving to a product-centric model with multidisciplinary teams responsible for outcomes. Product management will be pivotal in helping to achieve this vision.
Your main day to day responsibilities will be:
Define and evolve the product vision, engaging teams and stakeholders throughout its development.
Lead the creation of roadmaps, release plans, and lifecycle strategies from inception to retirement, contributing to departmental planning.
Manage the full product lifecycle, including discovery, alpha, beta, and live phases, ensuring successful service assessments.
Represent user needs throughout delivery, championing user-centred design and decision-making.
Prioritise development work by maintaining a balanced product backlog that reflects both immediate needs and long-term business value.
Provide final sign-off on completed functionality before deployment to production environments.
Use product data and user feedback to drive continuous improvement, generating ideas for new functionality and promoting evidence-based design.
Ensure product quality meets standards such as the Government Digital Service Standard, Technology Code of Practice, TDA standards, and accessibility legislation, while advocating these across the department and wider government.
