The Legislation Services team at The National Archives is responsible for legislation.gov.uk, a vital resource that has transformed public access to enacted and revised legislation in the UK. It has put the statute book, once the preserve of lawyers and other specialists, into the hands of millions of people, who need to reference, quote, or cite the law. The legislation.gov.uk Platform (comprising the legislation.gov.uk website, a system for publishing all new UK legislation, and an editorial system for the production of revised versions of legislation documents) is business critical. It is used on a daily basis by stakeholders across government and Parliaments to deliver their statutory responsibilities to publish and revise legislation. It is also how the King’s Printer (CEO of The National Archives) delivers his statutory and prerogative responsibilities for publishing legislation.
As Platform Product Manager, you will play a critical role in ensuring that the legislation.gov.uk Platform remains available, usable, and performant to all stakeholders. You will lead on ensuring that Platform development work is managed in an effective and timely manner. The current legislation Platform is aging, and ongoing development will include work to upgrade and modernize the Platform. You will work in an Agile way with experienced multidisciplinary product teams (both internal and with external suppliers) formed of delivery, design, development, UX, metrics, and data specialists. You will develop an in-depth knowledge of user needs and business goals, using your considerable domain expertise to frame problems, set priorities, and deliver continuous improvement across the Platform.
You will work closely with senior stakeholders and team members to identify user needs to shape the development of the legislation.gov.uk Platform and create clear roadmaps. Clear and timely communication to users is essential.
You will be a champion for best practice and quality and represent the voice of the user throughout the product lifecycle.
You will work closely with Product Owners across the Legislation Services team to coordinate and align your roadmaps and priorities. You will require excellent persuasion and influencing skills to negotiate and agree on development priorities with other Product Owners, and with the Head of Legislation Services.
This is a busy, high-impact role that requires a high level of specialist domain knowledge coupled with clear communication and negotiation skills, sound judgment and decision-making, initiative, and attention to detail.
This is a full-time post. However, requests for part-time working, flexible working, and job share will be considered, taking into account at all times the operational needs of the Department.
A combination of onsite and home working is available, and applicants should be able to regularly travel to our Kew site for a minimum of 60% of their work time.
