Senior Product Manager – OneITS & OneView | UK Government Contract (via Systems Integrator) | £490/day | BPSS
We're recruiting a Senior Product Manager to own the strategic vision and delivery direction for OneITS and OneView — two interconnected products sitting at the heart of a major UK government department's Income Tax landscape, spanning PAYE, Making Tax Digital (MTD), and Self Assessment.
This is a senior, enterprise-level role for someone who can operate comfortably across strategy, discovery, architecture and governance — translating ambiguity into a clear, deliverable roadmap, and building genuine buy-in from senior stakeholders along the way.

- Developing and maintaining product strategies, roadmaps and outcome measures across multiple interconnected products
- Translating strategic objectives into deliverable outcomes and prioritised opportunities
- Supporting OneITS guiding principles and target-state propositions
- Identifying opportunities to reuse existing departmental products and capabilities before commissioning anything new
Discovery & User-Centred Design
- Leading complex discovery activity to surface user needs, business opportunities, risks and constraints
- Championing evidence-based decision-making through user research, service design and performance data
- Defining and testing hypotheses, assumptions and product concepts
- Working with multidisciplinary teams to iterate prototypes, service concepts and future-state journeys
- Balancing long-term strategic outcomes against short-term delivery pressure
Enterprise Product Leadership
- Maintaining oversight of dependencies across OneITS, OneView, PAYE, MTD, Self Assessment and related Income Tax initiatives
- Spotting opportunities for convergence, simplification and service integration
- Supporting capability mapping across the Income Tax landscape
- Partnering with Enterprise Architects and Service Designers to keep product direction aligned to architectural and service strategy
- Developing options and recommendations for sequencing delivery and investment
Stakeholder Management
- Building strong relationships with senior business, operational, policy and technology stakeholders
- Influencing decision-making through complex governance structures
- Facilitating workshops and strategic discussions to resolve ambiguity and build alignment
- Communicating complex product and service concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Representing the product vision at governance forums and investment boards
Delivery & Governance
- Owning and maintaining prioritised product backlogs where required
- Supporting delivery planning across Discovery, Alpha and Beta phases
- Managing product risks, assumptions, dependencies and constraints
- Defining measurable outcomes and success criteria
- Contributing to business cases, funding requests and delivery plans
The details
- Location: Remote-first — no required travel, though occasional meetings may be suggested
- Start date: 1st October (potential to start earlier for the right candidate)
- Rate: £490 per day
- Clearance: BPSS (must be able to obtain/hold)

If you're a senior product professional who thrives on enterprise-level ambiguity, cross-product dependency management, and getting complex organisations to move in the same direction — this is a great next contract.
