University of Sheffield Hiring for Head of Product (Education) Job at Sheffield, England , UK Full Time

Come and be part of an innovative and influential University department delivering excellent IT and business services to a leading Russell Group institution. With a reputation for engaging staff and students in partnership to deliver services, for three years running UK students have voted us best for IT support. We are committed to delivering and supporting excellent customer focussed services and to do this we need to recruit the best staff, invested in higher education and dedicated to supporting sector leading learning, teaching and research – and that’s why we need you…

We are seeking a creative, high-performing and engaging leader who can work with the new Assistant Director of Product Design and Development and other members of the IT Executive team to own, develop and deliver a brand-new Education Product Roadmap that will realise these aims. As a Head of Product, you will work closely with the senior executive sponsor of the roadmap as well as many stakeholders across the University to understand what our customers want from the roadmap and how and when this can be delivered.

You will have a wide range of experience in large-scale, product-led design and development as a Head of Product or equivalent; you will have demonstrable leadership and mentoring skills and significant experience with full agile software development and processes. Experience of working in Higher Education product management would be desirable but is not essential.

We are committed to enabling our employees to work in a hybrid model with flexibility over when, where and how to achieve the required outputs, in discussion with your manager.

We are committed to exploring flexible working opportunities which benefit the individual and University.

We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
