Develop clear, evidence-led investment papers and business cases for new products and enhancements, including the problem, options, benefits, costs, risks, dependencies, measurable outcomes and recommendation.

Strong commercial and investment mindset, with the ability to gather evidence, compare options, articulate benefits and costs, and produce credible papers for governance and funding decisions. Good written and verbal communication, including the ability to turn complex technical information into a clear narrative for business, technical and senior audiences. Experience supporting the delivery of digital products, projects, platforms or services in a fast-paced environment. Working knowledge of agile delivery approaches and effective collaboration with Product Owners, engineering, architecture and delivery teams. Ability to build relationships, influence constructively, listen well, and challenge or be challenged in a professional and respectful way. Understanding of risk, dependency and stakeholder management in a complex enterprise environment. Customer and user focus, with an interest in using research, feedback and data to continuously improve products.
Nice to have
- Working knowledge of identity and access management, including Microsoft Entra ID, role-based access control and conditional access. Understanding of security, compliance and information governance controls, including DLP, retention and audit requirements. Appreciation of enterprise and solution architecture principles, including integrations, APIs, data flows and non-functional requirements. Knowledge of IT governance and ITIL service management processes. Experience using delivery and collaboration tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, Confluence, Power BI and ServiceNow. Experience supporting utilities, infrastructure, construction or other major capital delivery environments. Qualifications and Experience Demonstrable experience contributing to digital product, platform, project or service delivery. Good understanding of the Microsoft 365 ecosystem and associated enterprise platforms. Evidence of working across business and technical stakeholders to shape requirements, priorities or roadmaps. Experience supporting the development of business cases, investment proposals, options appraisals, or benefits-led recommendations is highly desirable. A recognised qualification in Scrum, Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), or a similar product, delivery, or agile methodology is desirable. What you'll get A competitive salary between £57,000 - £65,000 – dependent on capability. As well as your base salary, you will receive a bonus based on personal performance and a competitive contributory pension scheme where we will double match your contribution to a maximum company contribution of 12%. You will also have access to a number of flexible benefits such as a share incentive plan, salary sacrifice car and technology schemes, support via employee assistance lines and matched charity giving to name a few.
