Head of Product and Technology

Good Things Foundation is the UK's leading digital inclusion charity, and our mission is to Fix The Digital Divide – for good. We are the charity behind the National Databank, National Device Bank, and the National Digital Inclusion Network – the nation's social infrastructure for digital inclusion.

If you are looking for a challenge to combine your technical product management experience and leadership skills in a fast-paced environment, and aren't afraid to wear multiple hats, then you may be our new Head of Product and Technology. It's an exciting time to join us as we are part way through transforming our technology. We have recently implemented a new unified technology stack based on Magnolia PAAS for web front end and a Salesforce SAAS back end. We successfully launched our first service on this unified digital platform; a members' area for the National Digital Inclusion Network.

This new role for the organisation will lead the next phase of our transformation including replatforming our National Databank services, our Learn My Way digital skills learning platform and to extend the digital platform to include new mailing and messaging functionality.

At a strategic level, you will be planning the future development of the digital platform and our digital products. Day to day, you will lead the work to develop and refine requirements for digital platform and digital service enhancements, removing blockers for the teams to deliver innovative solutions and ensuring live services are managed securely and cost-effectively. You'll champion using data and customer feedback to support decision-making, advise on Cyber Security, and lead technical discussions with our strategic partners.

A technology background is not essential, you may have a product management/product owner or business analysis background, but you will have extensive experience of working in the area of software and service design and development and be able to brief and manage technology teams. You must be able to plan capacity, manage roadmaps and delivery schedules.

Importantly, you will enable us to get maximum benefit out of our investment in our new digital platform, allowing us to deliver high quality services to our networks and beneficiaries, and helping more people to cross the digital divide.
