5 Product manager jobs

Brilliant opportunity to be part of Age UK’s Transformation and Technology team as our Data Product Manager! We are establishing a new Data capability at Age UK, which will transform the organisation so that everyone has the opportunity to unlock business value from trustworthy data.  A core part of this new capability is ensuring that the data products produced by the central data function are valuable, trusted, well documented and adopted by users across the organisation.

This is a senior role, working across the whole of the organisation. This includes Fundraising, National Services, Network Support, Volunteering, Shared Services, Age Trading and Age International.  The post holder will need to develop a deep understanding of all areas of Age UK and establish mechanisms for the effective use of data and how it can be an effective enabler, supporting the delivery of a diverse range of charitable strategic objectives.
