Job description

DWP. Digital with Purpose.

DWP is the UK’s largest government department. We deliver products and services that are used by millions of people in the UK, every day and at key moments in their lives.

Using fresh ideas and leading edge technologies – and putting the user at the centre of everything we do – we create innovative, scalable digital solutions that make a difference to the lives of our 22 million users and to our amazing DWP colleagues.

We’re hiring a Senior Product Owner to work on our Infrastructure and Network Services team. Here’s how one of our current teams sees the role:

We’re currently recruiting for a Senior Product Owner for the Infrastructure Services Team at DWP Digital – an exciting role working on one of Europe’s biggest transformation projects.

Infrastructure Services and Networks has a very technical ring to it. Our official job title is Infrastructure Engineer – Network Services Product Owner.

If that sounds really techy, please don’t let that put you off. While we’re looking for an understanding of Network Tech and experience of delivering Networks projects, you definitely don’t need to be an engineer or technician for this job.

We do have many engineering brains, but our team is made up of so many different skill sets, not just highly skilled engineers.

That’s why it works and it’s how we are able to build and maintain one of the most intelligent network infrastructures in Government and across Europe.

As our Product Owner you will be responsible for a product set and ensuring performance, building relationships across the organisation to optimise the service delivery, managing finances and budgets, setting the direction and the roadmap.

You’ll be managing commercial relationships with suppliers to make sure we’re achieving a great return on investment. And you’re responsible for setting standards, embedding continuous improvement and looking for ways we can do things better.

It is a really exciting time to join our team as we go through our transformation programme and you could be part of that. We are a strong, welcoming and passionate team who are eager to learn from others and to keep driving each other forward.

If you have the following skills and experience, we’d love an application from you:

Details. Wages. Perks.

You’ll join us in one of our brilliant digital hubs in your choice of Manchester, Newcastle or Blackpool. Find out more about our hubs here: https://careers.dwp.gov.uk/our-locations/

We also have all the tools and tech we need to enable our people to work flexibly, and many of us are working remotely at the moment due to COVID-19.

In return for your skills we offer competitive salary up to £59,589, a brilliant civil service pension with employer contributions worth over 27%, and a generous leave package.

We also have a broad benefits package built around your work-life balance which includes:
