Product Manager - Platform Technology

Employment Type: Contract Inside IR35

Duration: 10 Months

Umbrella Rate: £550/day

Location: Exeter (Hybrid, 3 days onsite per week)

Clearance Level: Eligible for SC

Opportunity Overview

We are working with a leading UK organisation to find an experienced Product Manager for a key role within their Platform Technology function. Our client is undergoing a significant technology modernisation programme and needs a skilled product professional to help shape and improve the internal platforms their developers, scientists and service teams depend on every day.

This is a rare opportunity to practise real product management in a complex, data-intensive environment - working at the heart of a mission-driven organisation where the work genuinely matters.

About the Role

The Platform Technology team is responsible for shared, cross-cutting capabilities including developer tools, APIs, data pipelines and infrastructure services. The incoming Product Manager will be responsible for making these platforms reliable, discoverable and enabling - reducing delivery friction, improving user experience, and helping downstream teams ship faster and more safely.

Job Function

Support the development of a business case to invest in service enhancements and engagements with third-party suppliers.

Own the roadmap and backlog for one or more shared technology platforms and deliver to the agreed product vision.

Work with engineers, architects and delivery teams to deliver incremental improvements that make platforms easier to use and maintain.

Understand internal users, from developers to operations staff, and translate their needs into clear priorities.

Investigate and develop measurable service outcomes (adoption, usability, performance) and use data to track progress.

Balance short-term reliability with long-term sustainability and compliance.

Facilitate collaboration across technical and non-technical stakeholders; communicate trade-offs transparently.

Champion product-led, user-informed, iterative ways of working in a complex, legacy/brownfield environment.

Requirements

Proven experience managing developer infrastructure products and associated cloud technologies (e.g. AWS, Azure, shared services).

Experience successfully managing commercial and bought-in services.

Ability to apply and adapt Agile and Lean practices in an engineering-focused team.

Strong understanding of user-centred product development - even when the 'users' are other engineers.

Skilled at prioritising by outcome using approaches such as impact vs. effort or cost-of-delay.

Confident working with cross-disciplinary teams and senior technical stakeholders.

Comfortable operating in environments with legacy systems, competing priorities and incomplete information.

Excellent communicator - able to translate complex technical issues into clear decisions and trade-offs.

Why This Role?

Our client operates at significant scale, managing vast volumes of data in support of critical national and scientific services. The technology estate is complex and established - this isn't a greenfield startup - but that's exactly what makes it interesting. You'll be joining at a moment of genuine appetite for change, working alongside engineers and scientists who are deeply invested in what they build.

If you're looking for a role where platform product management actually means something, this is it

Where to Advertise Data Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise data science jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that actually reach senior and lead data science talent. Data science spans a broad and often misunderstood spectrum — from statistical modelling and experimental design through to machine learning engineering, product analytics and AI research. The strongest candidates identify firmly with specific subdisciplines and are frustrated by adverts that conflate data scientist with data analyst, business intelligence developer or machine learning engineer. General job boards produce high application volumes for data roles but consistently fail to match specialist data science profiles with the right opportunities. This guide, published by DataScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK data science hiring over the next three years — from MLE crossover to GenAI workflows. Data science has spent the past decade being described as the sexiest job of the twenty-first century. By 2026, the reality is both more nuanced and more interesting than that label ever suggested. The discipline has matured, fragmented, deepened, and in some respects reinvented itself — and the jobs market has changed with it in ways that create genuine opportunity for those who understand what employers actually want, and genuine difficulty for those still operating on assumptions formed five years ago. The data science jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. The generalist data scientist — equally comfortable wrangling data, building models, and presenting insights to the board — is giving way to a more specialised landscape where employers know exactly what problem they are trying to solve and are looking for candidates with the specific depth to solve it. Machine learning engineering, causal inference, experimentation, AI product development, and domain-specific applied science have all emerged as distinct career tracks within what was previously a single, loosely defined profession. At the same time, the arrival of large language models and the broader AI capability wave has both threatened and created data science roles in equal measure. Some of the work that junior data scientists spent their early careers doing — data cleaning, exploratory analysis, basic model building — is being partially automated by AI tooling. But the demand for practitioners who can evaluate AI systems rigorously, apply statistical thinking to complex business problems, and build the data foundations on which AI depends has grown considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what data scientists are expected to build and know, and how to position a data science career that will remain valuable as the field continues to evolve around them. This article breaks down what the UK data science jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
