How This Role Fits into the Wider Bank

RTGS Technology is undergoing a significant transformation, moving to a product engineering model with teams aligned to business and platform domains.

The Technical Product Manager reports to the Technology Product Lead and forms part of the Product Management function within RTGS Technology.

This role exists to ensure RTGS engineering teams have secure, reliable and sustainable platform services that enable them to develop, deploy and operate software efficiently whilst maintaining long-term platform health and operational resilience.

The Technical Product Manager owns the roadmap, epics and backlog for Runtime Platform & Developer Experience services, ensuring demand is prioritised and engineering capacity is directed towards the highest-value outcomes.

Success in this role will be measured through improvements in engineering effectiveness, operational resilience, successful lifecycle management, reduction in manual effort through automation and the maintenance of a sustainable delivery model that enables continuous improvement without compromising operational stability.

Our Approach to Inclusion

The Bank values diversity, equity and inclusion. We play a key role in maintaining monetary and financial stability, and to do that effectively, we believe we need a workforce that reflects the society we serve.

At the Bank of England, we want all colleagues to feel valued and respected, so we're working hard to build an inclusive culture which supports people from all backgrounds and communities to be at their best at work. We celebrate all forms of diversity, including (but not limited to) age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, race, religion, sexual orientation and socioeconomic status. We believe that it's by drawing on different perspectives and experiences that we'll continue to make the best decisions for the public.

From 1st October 2026, we expect all our colleagues to spend a minimum of 50% of their working time in the office per month. This is to capitalise on the benefits of working together in person across teams, while maintaining the flexibility offered by home working. Subject to that minimum requirement, individuals and managers should work together to find what works best for them and their team.
