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 Data and Developer Solutions division of Etc., BT’s internal innovation organisation, and exists to create new data products and solutions that solve key customer problems.

As Product Manager, New Data Solutions, you will be accountable for the discovery, development and delivery of individual data product initiatives.

You will work under the direction of a Senior Product Manager (Career Level C), owning defined product problems end‑to‑end and ensuring that customer needs, technical feasibility and commercial value are brought together in practical, high‑quality solutions.

This role is suited to an experienced Product Manager who can operate autonomously at a product level, thrive in ambiguity, and is developing the breadth and judgement required to progress into senior product leadership over time.

• Oversee delivery using Agile / lean product practices, working closely with engineering, UX, data and design colleagues to deliver iteratively.

Customer, data and insight-driven decision making

• Use customer research, data and insight to inform prioritisation and product decisions.
• 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.
• Build readiness over time to take on broader scope, increased autonomy and leadership responsibility.

Essential Skills / Experience

• Proven experience owning end‑to‑end product delivery in a digital, data or platform environment.
• Strong grounding in product discovery, experimentation and agile delivery.
• Experience working with multidisciplinary teams across engineering, design and data.
• Ability to use customer insight and data to inform product decisions.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to manage multiple stakeholders.
• A strong learning mindset and comfort working in ambiguous, evolving problem spaces.
