Join one of the most advanced data and analytics centres in government. Data Services & Analytics (DSA) sits at the heart of the Home Office’s transformation into a truly data‑driven department. Our teams design, build and run innovative products that give leaders and frontline staff the insight they need to keep the public safe and deliver the department’s mission.
As a Senior Product Manager, you will shape the vision, strategy and delivery of business‑critical products used every day across the Home Office. You’ll use your understanding of user needs and organisational goals to frame problems, set priorities and guide multidisciplinary delivery teams. Some of the products you own will be well‑established; others will need fresh thinking, new roadmaps and bold improvements. In all cases, you will have the final say on quality and on when a feature is ready for release.
Our products span intelligence tools that uncover patterns and connections in data, high‑volume processing systems using machine learning or rule‑based logic, reporting and analytical services, and innovative data science solutions.
