Our mission is to break down the barriers of today to release the potential of tomorrow. Join us today and release yours.

There are two things that we want to share with anyone considering joining us.

Firstly, we’ve got big ambitions for our colleagues and the future of the organisation. These include our vision that inclusion and accessibility drive every conversation we have and every decision we make. We want our workforce to fully represent the communities and customers we serve, because a diverse business is a better business. We value every colleague, their diversity and the contribution that they make. When we say you’re welcome at BT, we really mean it.

Secondly, the one thing the pandemic has taught us is that a lot of current and future colleagues, where and when possible, want to embrace hybrid working. Therefore, we are introducing smart working at BT. Smart working means having the flexibility to choose, as a team, how and where you work depending on your team’s deliverables and needs; when you are at your shared core location to connect with others and when not. It may not be for every role, and, as part of the recruitment process, you’ll have the chance to discuss smart working and how it might work for the job you are applying for.

The Opportunity

A product lead is an important and strategic role. You will lead a set of product owners to deliver a set of outcomes for the business and customers. You will need to work closely with peers in Engineering, Design and Capability and planning.

The exact digital products in the scope of any of our roles will evolve over time and can change. So being adaptable and being ready to pivot inline with our customers and business needs is going to be critical.

Create, maintain and regularly iterate a strategic roadmap and backlog for your tribe.

Prioritise activities based upon achieving validated learning as quickly as possible and maximising customer value.

Influence & shape requirements for new initiatives from other areas in Consumer. You’ll translate these commercial/ marketing/ service strategies and targets into a digital experience vision. 

Create business cases to secure investment and own budgets required to deliver outcomes for your tribe.

Be accountable for the product performance of the tribe and expected to assure it.

Create an engaging and long-lasting connection with stakeholders up to and including the Consumer board.
