Lead Product Manager

Apply before 11:55 pm on Sunday 25th January 2026

An exciting opportunity has arisen at HM Land Registry (HMLR) for a Lead Product Manager. If you have experience of product management within a large digital, agile organisation and are skilled in developing and delivering user‑centred services, we would love to hear from you.

You will help lead the effectiveness of the product practice, creating the strategy and long‑term vision for the products you lead on and supporting Senior Product Managers to deliver high quality products and services that align with HMLR’s product vision. Using your strategic oversight, you will work alongside the product practice senior team to ensure there is sufficient capability and capacity to meet the current change portfolio, culture and HMLR’s Strategy 2025+.

• Influence National Digital Transformation
  :
  Play a pivotal role in shaping the digital future of land and property services in the UK. You'll help lead a high‑impact product practice that directly supports innovation, modernisation, and improved service delivery across HMLR.
• Build and Lead a Thriving Product Community
  :
  Drive the growth of HMLR’s product management capability. You'll mentor teams, shape professional standards, and contribute to a vibrant, supportive community of practice that influences the way products are developed and delivered.
• Strategic Leadership with Visible Impact
  :
  Gain strategic oversight across a diverse product portfolio, ensuring alignment with HMLR’s long‑term vision. Your decisions will influence critical national services and unlock real value for users and stakeholders alike.
• Champion the Voice of the Customer
  :
  Embed user needs at the heart of every product decision. You’ll ensure that customer insight drives design, delivery, and continuous improvement, creating services that are truly user‑centric and deliver measurable public value.

The ideal candidate will be confident in a range of product management and ownership approaches, setting strategy, managing resources at programme level and leading change in complex environments. You will have a proven ability to build, lead and grow product practice and capability, coaching others and sharing expertise as a high‑performing product manager.

With a strong track record of successful service design, from concept through to implementation, you will ensure user needs are met, and products are effectively integrated and adopted. Proficient in developing business cases based on user needs, you can articulate measurable benefits and track delivery against strategic outcomes. Experience of working across organisational boundaries, engaging with a wide range of stakeholders to build credibility, influence and alignment is essential.

Where an individual taking up the responsibility will be based in Swansea Office, the ability to speak Welsh is desirable.

HMLR believes that a blended approach to where you work that enables some time working from home, as well as in the office may give you an improved experience and has clear business benefits. We expect everyone to spend at least 60% of their working time in the office. Beyond this expectation, there is no one size fits all approach (and we can spend up to 100% working in the office if we prefer).

For more information about the role, please see the candidate pack.

We'll assess you against these behaviours during the selection process:

• Seeing the Big Picture
• Communicating and Influencing Changing and Improving
• Managing a Quality Service
