Do you want to define and shape the next generation of geographical information that models Great Britain?
Ordnance Survey has an established world-class reputation for excellence in delivering geospatial information products which underpin service delivery, policy development and commercial decision making every single day. To sustain our enviable market position, we have a challenging innovation agenda with a particular focus on diversification into new market sectors. At the same time, we continue to respond to existing market demand, delivering our stretching business objectives and seeking continuous improvement in our established product portfolio.
As one of our Senior Product Managers it will be your vision, leadership and outcome focus that will ensure we achieve our ambitions! You will be communicating extensively across potential markets to establish the customer requirement. You will also be leading a cross-functional team, providing inspiration and direction to establish robust business cases and to prototype and build new products. Our mission is to create and serve great products that customers love to use, and you will be central to realising this mission through the delivery of new and improved data products.
You will have:
- Personal enthusiasm and energy, with the ability to inspire and motivate others with a vision of the future
- A rich and varied experience and expertise in data product deployment and usage
- A strategic understanding of how geographic products and services add value in the marketplace
- The capacity to appreciate Ordnance Survey’s role and context in the market, and to apply this appreciation to the critical evaluation of alternative options
Additionally, you will be adept at problem solving, communication and collaboration, with a proven track record of delivery.
Our two roles:
Contextual Products (Ref SPMCP1212)
Our contextual data products provide the mapping that defines our globally respected brand. Fuelled by the explosive growth of mapping being used in both web and mobile channels and enabled by significant technology investments in the last few years; our portfolio of contextual products will be redefined over the next few years to ensure that we continue to deliver market defining products across all of our consumer, business and government markets. For this role you will need to demonstrate a clear appreciation of the value of good product design and have a strong vision as to how Ordnance Survey products can remain market leading in an ever more competitive marketplace.
Data Framework Products (Ref SPMDFP1212)
Our portfolio of OS MasterMap and AddressBase products continue to benefit from sustained and significant investment as we drive forward our generational enhancement to core content and data infrastructure. Customer demand for more diverse data products that provide authority and enable reliable decision making continues to grow and our investment programmes reflect this demand. We are looking for a visionary leader who will ensure our flagship products stay ahead of the competition and continue to define the standard for the most user-centric, reliable and detailed geospatial data products in Great Britain. For this role you will need a detailed appreciation of our existing customers, their challenges and their application of OS MasterMap and/or AddressBase products.
Alongside all the benefits you’d expect from us (e.g. flexi time and an excellent pension plan), we offer a fresh, innovative working environment and the role-specific training you’ll need.
