Are you an experienced product manager and looking to do something meaningful in your next role?

We are looking to recruit a digital product manager to join our multidisciplinary LibraryOn team at the iconic British Library working to develop a national platform to inspire more people to use public libraries and make it easier to access the services they provide digitally.
Libraries play an important role in our communities, and we want to develop a digital offer that reflects that and positions libraries as modern and relevant. As a national digital ‘front door’ for public libraries, the LibraryOn website and brand has ambitious plans to host an extensive content offer from libraries across the country, linking to inspiring events, reading, book catalogues, special collections, and an interactive map of libraries.

You will lead the delivery of our roadmap, scope new features and functionality, work with partners around system integrations, manage our library data, and take an agile user-centered approach to drive and inspire the work of the product team.

You will be proactive, collaborative, able to think strategically, effectively prioritise and develop relationships with stakeholders.
