We're looking for a Data Product Manager to join our Data Enablement team. You'll take the lead on understanding what our colleagues across Co-op need and turn that into a clear roadmap for delivering data products that make a real difference. Working with a multi-skilled, talented team, you'll guide delivery from start to finish and champion change across your domain.
Why this role matters
Data products help us unlick insight, improve processes, and create value across our Co-op. In this role, you'll make sure we're building the right things at the right time, helping colleagues work smarter and supporting our wider strategy. You'll play a big part in shaping how we use data to drive better decision-making.

• Lead discovery workshops to build a clear understanding of our colleagues' data needs
• Collaborate with a multi-skilled team to deliver robust data products
• Monitor delivery progress and keep the relevant parties informed
• Manage the backlog and make sure work is prioritised effectively
• Inspire and encourage colleagues to innovate and showcase the benefits of our work

What you'll bring

• Experience leading the delivery of robust data products end-to-end
• Experience using data visualisation tools (e.g., Power BI and MicroStrategy)
• A strong understanding of data engineering, modelling, architecture, APIs, AI, and machine learning
• Familiarity with agile methodologies (e.g., Scrum, Kanban)
• An awareness of how data product decisions impact business and financial performance
• Good communication and relationship-building skills
