BT is entering a new phase of growth, shifting from large-scale infrastructure investment to unlocking value from data, platforms and AI. This role sits at the centre of that ambition.

• Own the product vision and strategy for a defined portfolio of new data solution opportunities, aligned to BT’s strategic growth priorities, translating customer and commercial needs into clear roadmaps and measurable commercial outcomes.
• Act as the accountable product leader for complex, ambiguous problem domains, making evidence-based decisions to invest, pivot, partner or stop initiatives.
• Define and articulate clear product vision, value propositions and success measures, ensuring alignment to customer needs, market opportunity and BT’s strategic intent.
• Own the commercial logic for new products, including value cases, pricing considerations, investment rationale and performance tracking post-launch.
• Ensure products are commercially viable, operationally scalable and ready for transition into core BT ownership.

• Shape and influence portfolio-level prioritisation decisions across Data Solutions, balancing customer value, commercial impact and delivery capacity.
• Influence senior stakeholders across business units and partners without direct authority, building alignment and momentum around new growth opportunities.
• Contribute to broader thought leadership and strategy for data and AI‑driven products within BT.

• Lead multidisciplinary teams across product management, UX, engineering, data science and analysis, ensuring delivery focuses on outcomes rather than outputs.
• Set clear direction for product discovery, experimentation and delivery, using customer insight, market analysis and performance data to guide decisions.
• Ensure appropriate analytics and insight are in place to measure adoption, value and growth, and to inform ongoing optimisation.
• Identify, manage and mitigate delivery, commercial and strategic risks across the product portfolio.

• Line manage, mentor and develop product talent, building future‑ready capability across product management and adjacent disciplines.
• Lead improvements to product ways of working, raising standards and maturity across discovery, delivery and commercial thinking.

• Proven ability to own product outcomes, including commercial performance, not just delivery milestones.
• Strong judgement and decision‑making capability under uncertainty, including making hard trade‑offs.
• Experience shaping and influencing senior stakeholders across multiple functions and organisations.
• Deep understanding of modern data platforms, analytics and AI‑enabled products, sufficient to guide strategic and architectural decisions.
• Strong commercial acumen, including business case development and performance monitoring.
• Experience leading and developing people, with a track record of building capability and raising standards.

• Experience shaping go‑to‑market strategies, pricing and packaging for new digital or data products.
• Platform and ecosystem thinking, including partner selection and build/buy/partner decisions.
• Experience working with OKRs or similar outcome‑based frameworks at product or portfolio level.
• Experience operating within large, complex or highly regulated organisations.
• Some knowledge of geospatial mobile network data would be helpful but…
