About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Digital Product Manager to join a major public-sector digital transformation programme.

You will be responsible for managing a digital product through its full lifecycle, from discovery and alpha through beta and live. Working as part of a multidisciplinary delivery team, you will set product direction, champion user needs, and ensure the team delivers valuable, high-quality outcomes.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Product Manager who enjoys working in complex environments and is confident balancing strategic product thinking with hands-on delivery.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define and own the product vision, scope, and priorities.
  • Manage the product through discovery, alpha, beta, and live stages.
  • Own, manage, and prioritise the product backlog.
  • Champion user needs through research, feedback, data, and insight.
  • Work closely with delivery, design, research, technology, and data specialists.
  • Develop and maintain product roadmaps where required.
  • Ensure stories are clearly defined, prioritised, and ready for delivery.
  • Balance research, new features, and continuous improvement.
  • Work with Delivery Managers to ensure plans are realistic and blockers are removed.
  • Collaborate with Technical Leads and Solutions Architects on appropriate technical solutions.
  • Manage stakeholder relationships and communicate product progress effectively.
  • Promote transparency through show and tells and open-working practices.
  • Take responsibility for product quality and ensure relevant service standards are met.
  • Identify and resolve complex operational and delivery issues.
  • Support the adoption and integration of products with other services.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
