Proven ability to develop product strategy and turn it into a clear, actionable roadmap

Experience leading multi-disciplinary teams, from researchers and designers to engineers and analysts
Strong stakeholder management—confident presenting to senior leaders and securing buy-in
A hands-on attitude—you’re not afraid to get into the weeds, whether it's backlog grooming or user story writing
Ideally you will have experience working with GDS standards and the public sector
You will have a consultancy or agency background – you’ll be used to switching contexts and juggling priorities
Key Responsibilities:
Own the Product Vision
Create compelling product strategies that align user needs with business goals
Build and maintain actionable product roadmaps
Prioritise ruthlessly—focus on what delivers the most value
Lead Delivery with Confidence
Run delivery ceremonies and sprint planning sessions with confidence
Collaborate with analysts, designers, developers and stakeholders to deliver high-quality digital services
Ensure the team is always focused on the right problems at the right time
Be a Champion for Product Thinking
Evangelise product management principles internally and with clients
Mentor team members and support the development of product culture
Help clients understand the value of product strategy and user-centred design
Support Business Growth
Contribute to tenders, pitches and client proposals
Spot opportunities for future work while embedded with clients
Help shape Empyrean’s growing product capability from the inside out
