** About the role
** BT is entering a new phase of growth, moving from building infrastructure to unlocking value from it. As new products emerge across connectivity, data, platforms and AI, the ability to take innovation to market and scale it effectively is critical. This role sits at the centre of that challenge.
This role sits within the Active Intelligence unit in Data and Developer Solutions, part of Etc., BT’s internal innovation organisation. Its purpose is to design, build and scale data products that use anonymised and aggregated mobile network data to solve real‐world customer problems.

As a Data Product Manager, you will lead the discovery, development and delivery of individual data product initiatives. Your initial focus will be the transport sector, with scope to extend into additional sectors and verticals over time.

You will define the next frontier of mobile network data for transport, evolving from retrospective insights into real‐time intelligence, predictive insight and AI‐powered forecasting. You will challenge traditional transport data models, identify new value across the portfolio and lead the product bets that position BT Active Intelligence as a market leader.

You will manage the full product lifecycle end to end: from discovery and development through launch, performance measurement, continuous optimisation and, where appropriate, decommissioning. Your accountability is to deliver commercially viable, data‐driven transport products that create measurable customer and business impact##

* Ensure appropriate insight and measurement is in place to track adoption, performance and outcomes.
* Monitor live products post‐launch, feeding learning back into discovery and iteration to drive engagement and growth.
** Commercial and value focus
*** Support the development of value cases and business rationale for new product initiatives.
* Track and report on product performance against agreed success measures.
* Identify risks, dependencies and trade-offs early, escalating where appropriate with clear options and recommendations.
** Stakeholder and team collaboration
*** Work effectively with a wide range of stakeholders across product, service design, engineering, data science, UX, commercial and operations.
* Communicate progress, insights and risks clearly and concisely, maintaining alignment and momentum.
* Contribute to a strong, collaborative product culture, role‐modelling BT’s behaviours and ways of working.
** Growth and capability development
*** Continuously develop product management skills, commercial understanding and technical fluency.
* Contribute to improvements in product ways of working, tools and practices.
