London, United Kingdom Nesta Full time

**We are recruiting for a Product Lead**

**About Nesta**

We are Nesta, the UK’s innovation agency for social good. We design, test and scale solutions to society’s biggest problems. Our three missions are to give every child a fair start, help people live healthy lives, and create a sustainable future where the economy works for both people and the planet.

For over 20 years, we have worked to support, encourage and inspire innovation. We work in three roles: as an innovation partner working with frontline organisations to design and test new solutions, as a venture builder supporting new and early stage businesses, and as a system shaper creating the conditions for innovation.

Harnessing the rigour of science and the creativity of design, we work relentlessly to change millions of lives for the better.

**How will a Product Lead contribute to Nesta’s success?**

**The role**
- Oversee and support the successful rapid prototyping, development, and delivery/maintenance of a portfolio of digital tools and products from across the Nesta group.
- Be part of and support multidisciplinary teams to undertake product discovery, providing hands-on skills to simply and quickly prototype and deliver minimum viable products to test assumptions and demonstrate value, before helping to scale or spin them out.
- Guide and work with multidisciplinary teams made up of disciplines and functions from across the Nesta group (e.g. comms, data, design, engineering, missions, etc) through the digital product development process, providing expert hands-on support throughout and helping teams to establish or adopt common routines and processes for releasing working software quickly and often.
- Uncover and understand user and stakeholder needs and translate them into requirements, including helping to turn them into realistic and concrete plans and tasks prioritised into an iterative release plan that fits with the strategic roadmap for the product and team capacity and capabilities.
- Ensuring requirements are fully understood by product teams (including developers/engineers) and their stakeholders, and that implementation plans match expectations, including helping to define and evaluate against success criteria for testing and product acceptance.
- Help product teams and developers/engineers within them adapt their plans and tasks in response to new learning or requirements.
- Ensure the software we develop meets the needs of users and stakeholders, as well as having the desired business and social impact by supporting teams to undertake iterative software development and testing.
- Ensure software we develop has a strategy and resourcing for ongoing delivery/maintenance as it grows or remains live, as well as a plan for retirement and embedding org-wide processes around this.
- Ensure the shared and consistent use of lean-agile principles (more than a particular methodology or framework), particularly ensuring we are releasing the smallest and simplest working software quickly and often, in order to learn, deliver value and continually improve/iterate.
- Encourage developing the smallest and simplest thing to give us confidence to move forward and test our assumptions, by providing hands-on support and skills to develop low/no code prototypes, undertake user research or reuse existing/open tech.
- Facilitate collaboration across disciplines within multidisciplinary teams and with key stakeholders, helping to resolve any roadblocks to team performance where appropriate.
- Facilitate the creation and maintenance of proper product and software documentation.
- Help cultivate a pipeline of impactful and valuable digital products or projects to meet the goals of the Nesta group and maximise our internal design, engineering and product capabilities.
- Line manage technologists.

**The person**
- Essential_
- ** Product development & prototyping**: Experience developing digital products across the product lifecycle and guiding multidisciplinary teams through a user-centred and test-driven product development process to quickly and often release the smallest and simplest working software in order to learn, deliver value and continually improve/iterate. You have hands-on skills and experience of simply and quickly prototyping and delivering minimum viable products, and are comfortable doing so yourself and supporting others to do this.
- ** Operational and project management**: Experience helping multidisciplinary teams adopt and establish routines and processes for releasing working software quickly and often. You can help teams build shared understanding of user and stakeholder needs and translate them into requirements, including helping to turn them into realistic and concrete plans and tasks prioritised into an iterative release plan that fits with the strategic roadmap for the product, team capacity and operational constraints.
