Who we are
We are Ordnance Survey, Great Britain’s national mapping service and a pioneer in geospatial technology. With over 230 years of trusted data, we empower better decisions, deeper understanding, and meaningful connections to the places we live, move through, and care for.
About the role
We are looking for a talented Product Manager to lead the performance, evolution, and strategic direction of our product portfolio. If you’re passionate about turning customer needs and market opportunities into impactful products, we’d love to hear from you.
As a Product Manager at OS, you will be responsible for managing the business performance and lifecycle of both new and existing products. You’ll lead the development of our product roadmap—balancing market demand, technical feasibility, and affordability—and ensure that our products continue to deliver meaningful value to customers, partners, and stakeholders.
You will act as the central point of expertise for all product value propositions, championing product understanding across the organisation and ensuring OS remains customer-centric in everything we deliver.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage product performance across a portfolio of existing and new products, ensuring alignment with OS’s strategic goals.
- Own the product value propositions, lifecycle plans, and product roadmap, balancing market, technical, and financial considerations.
- Champion product understanding by acting as the primary point of contact for internal stakeholders and ensuring clarity on product value.
- Support customer-centric delivery of product propositions, working closely with marketing and communications teams to keep customers engaged and informed.
- Lead product performance reviews, using scorecards and KPIs to make evidence-based decisions about product development, enhancements, or withdrawal.
- Engage with user communities, key customers, partners, and external stakeholders, ensuring feedback is captured and translated into product improvements or requirement updates.
- Develop strong relationships with operational teams, customer-facing colleagues, and external partners to deliver the roadmap in line with service, cost, and revenue targets.
- Lead and manage a team, where required, fostering a culture of innovation, accountability, and customer focus.
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.
