Senior Product Manager

Senior Product Manager (x2) | URGENT | 6-Month Contract | Remote First | £605 per day, Outside IR35 Futureheads have exclusively partnered with a leading consultancy that delivers digital services for UK government. They need two Senior Product Managers, and they need them fast. We are moving quickly, so if you are available soon, this is one to apply for now. The opportunity You will join a high-impact programme that replaces manual, paper-based ways of working across a large public sector operation with simple, joined-up digital services. You will work closely with subject matter experts from the client and with other suppliers. You will get prototypes into users' hands from the start and keep delivering value early and often. We have two roles, one for each workstream:

1. Task Management Teams across the organisation manage tasks in different ways, with no shared approach. Staff cannot see their work clearly, capacity is hard to manage, bottlenecks build up, and people feel overwhelmed and exposed to serious errors. You will find out which task types need support most urgently and shape a shared approach that works everywhere.
2. Document Management Many important records are still on paper, so information is hard to find, share and keep properly. This is not a bulk scanning exercise. You will work out which documents support which processes, understand the rules on retention and access, and decide whether some documents are needed at all once a process is digital. This is the earliest-stage workstream, so you will start with discovery. What you bring

• Strong experience as a Senior Product Manager in government or another complex, regulated environment
• Experience delivering into legacy systems, established processes and existing data
• A user-first, test-and-learn approach: you put prototypes in front of users from day one
• Confidence working with stakeholders, subject matter experts and multiple suppliers
• Care and good judgement when your work has real human consequences
• Discovery experience (especially useful for Document Management) The practical bits
• Rate: £605 per day, outside IR35
• Contract: 6 months
• Location: Remote first - UK based with occasional days on site in London
• Urgency: Immediate priority, so we are moving fast ( start dates are 19th October and 2nd November)
