🚀 PRODUCT MANAGER (SFIA 5) | £450/day Inc. Fees | Central Government Digital Programme
Tired of Product Manager roles where you're just managing a backlog instead of actually building products? This one's different.
We're recruiting on behalf of one of our key clients — a major central government programme delivering digital services used by millions of people across the UK, and a client we've placed 10 contractors with in the last month alone. They need a Product Manager who wants real ownership, not just a seat at the table.
If you want to shape a product from Discovery through to Go-Live — not just inherit someone else's roadmap — keep reading.
💷 The Headlines
- £450 per day, inside IR35
- SFIA Level 5 — senior, high-trust role
- BPSS clearance required
- Newcastle, ~2 days/month on-site — genuinely remote-friendly the rest of the time
- Contract — start ASAP
🎯 What You'll Actually Be Doing
- Own the product vision, strategy and roadmap — and defend it with a clear value case, not vibes
- Build and prioritise the Product Backlog, and get real buy-in from senior stakeholders
- Champion user needs and accessibility in every decision you make
- Shape technical, content and design solutions — not just sit in the meetings
- Manage dependencies across teams and keep delivery honest on quality and timescales
- Track KPIs post-launch and use them to keep driving value, not just "go live and move on"
- Share what you know — plug into an active community of Product craft peers

- National-scale impact — this isn't a vanity project, it's a service that matters
- A strong multi-disciplinary team — designers, developers and policy experts who actually collaborate
- Predictable, low-travel setup — 2 days a month on-site, no surprises
- A rate that reflects the seniority — £450/day inc. fees for a genuinely senior contract
- A client with a track record — we've successfully placed 10 contractors with them in the past month alone
