About the Role
Product Managers at Valtech work at the intersection of disciplines, to create products that unlock value for users and capture value for clients. We work across the full lifecycle of a product, from hypothesis and execution to growth and optimisation.
Our Product Managers are user centric. We understand our clients and their customers. Insights gained from regular customer interactions are fed back into product initiatives and business strategy.
Our Product Managers are strategic. We identify the right problems to solve that create the most value for customers, and help the business achieve their goals. We inspire teams and create alignment by defining a clear vision, strategic purpose, and direction for the products we work on.
Our Product Managers are outcome oriented. We safeguard success by measuring outcomes not outputs. We identify leading measures that the product team can influence on the way to achieving business objectives. Changes are measured, and results inform the team’s next step.
Our Product Managers are comfortable with ambiguity. We fall in love with problems not solutions. We create clarity, even if that exposes uncertainty and complexity. Throughout the product lifecycle we turn insights into actions and experiments, ensuring the team always knows the most valuable thing to explore, test or build next.
Our Product Managers are collaborative. Our Product Managers aren't CEOs. We ask open questions and work with the whole team to explore the problem and opportunity space. We help the team ensure solutions are desirable for users, viable for the business and feasible to build.
Our Product Managers are pragmatic. We understand the constraints and challenges of different organisations and know how to be successful in that context.
Key responsibilities As a Lead Product Manager, you will be responsible for ensuring our teams are building the right thing; products that meet business objectives, deliver value to users and are commercially viable.
You’ll work in close collaboration with designers, engineers, strategists, delivery leads and partner with client stakeholders to define the product strategy, clarify priorities, validate hypotheses, align around measures of success, and more, to go from idea to successful implementation.
Our Lead Product Managers will be able to take on our most complex projects and may work in a product leadership role within a programme team.
You'll be actively involved in commercial activities and help contribute towards pitching, proposals and business development.
You'll play a pivotal role in defining our practice strategy, improving our craft and capabilities and coaching colleagues to help with their learning and development.
