Product Manager (Government)

Job description

Position Description:

Put your business insights to the test, helping unlock complex challenges and design solutions for tomorrow, today and join us as Product Manager. We are looking to recruit a number of Product Managers for our Central Government Business Unit to work on a major new programme of work that has real-world purpose, and a positive impact on UK Citizens' lives.
CGI was recognised in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work List 2024 and has been named one of the ‘World’s Best Employers’ by Forbes magazine. We offer a competitive salary, excellent pension, private healthcare, plus a share scheme (3.5% + 3.5% matching) which makes you a member not just an employee. We are committed to inclusivity, building a genuinely diverse community of tech talent, and inspiring everyone to pursue careers in our sector, including our Armed Forces, and are proud to hold a Gold Award in recognition of our support of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant. Join us and you’ll be part of an open, friendly community of experts. We’ll train and support you in taking your career wherever you want it to go.
As these are hybrid roles, you may be required to work on a client site for a day from time to time (Manchester, Bristol, London) for client workshops and events. In the longer term there may be a requirement for on-site work to increase but the majority of work will still be remote. All applicants must also hold or be prepared to undergo National Security Vetting (NSV) Security Check (SC) level.

Your future duties and responsibilities:

As a Product Manager you’ll be joining a team working on a major new engagement within our Central Government business unit. You’ll be responsible for shaping the product mission and vision. You’ll be responsible for the quality of the products we develop and have ownership of the problem space, ensuring that the products being developed are aligned to meet user needs. You will work closely with our clients and be responsible for working with a Digital delivery team at all stages of the development lifecycle from discovery through to a live service. As Product Manager you will be the champion of your product and will need to be able to clearly articulate its goals, purpose and how its success will be measured. You’ll be working closely with both the client and our delivery team to deliver our products and promote their uptake. Our Product Managers need ensure that the users are at the heart of product development.

Required qualifications to be successful in this role:

- Practical understanding of UK Government Service standards
- Passion for building products that meet both user and business needs
- Experience applying tools, terms, and concepts flexibly in various contexts
- Ability to adapt to change and explore new ways of working
- Proficiency in agile methodologies, including selecting and comparing processes or delivery methods and evaluating outcomes
- Understanding of product lifecycle management, including transitioning between lifecycle stages
- Experience delivering products or services at different lifecycle phases
- Proven collaboration with user researchers, with an ability to distinguish between user needs and desires

What you can expect from us:

Together, as owners, let’s turn meaningful insights into action.

Life at CGI is rooted in ownership, teamwork, respect and belonging. Here, you’ll reach your full potential because…

You are invited to be an owner from day 1 as we work together to bring our Dream to life. That’s why we call ourselves CGI Partners rather than employees. We benefit from our collective success and actively shape our company’s strategy and direction.

Your work creates value. You’ll develop innovative solutions and build relationships with teammates and clients while accessing global capabilities to scale your ideas, embrace new opportunities, and benefit from expansive industry and technology expertise.

You’ll shape your career by joining a company built to grow and last. You’ll be supported by leaders who care about your health and well-being and provide you with opportunities to deepen your skills and broaden your horizons.

Come join our team—one of the largest IT and business consulting services firms in the world.
