This is not a single, narrowly defined product. The role will support transformation of how safety is managed across prisons, which may include multiple services, products, policy changes, operational practice improvements and digital capabilities across the wider safety landscape. The Safety Transformation vision is to improve safety through better identification, understanding and response to vulnerability, risk and harmful behaviour, enabled by improvements to operational practice, service design and digital capability. The work will focus on how safety-related risk is identified, understood, recorded, shared and acted upon across prison environments, including areas such as ACCT, CSIP, segregation, vulnerability, harmful behaviour and wider safety management processes. The Senior Product Manager will work with prison officers, Safer Custody teams, Governors, prisoners representatives/insight, Safety policy leads, service owners, operational stakeholders, managed service teams and Prisons Digital leadership. The role will ensure that work is grounded in operational reality and supports the needs of frontline staff, operational leaders and prisoners. The post holder will be expected to: shape the product vision, strategy and roadmap for Safety Transformation across multiple strands of discovery, experimentation and delivery; define and prioritise MVP options for improving safety in prisons, recognising that the solution may include digital, service, operational and policy interventions; lead prioritisation of the managed service team backlog to ensure effort is focused on the highest-value safety problems; align product direction with policy owners, service owners, Safety stakeholders, operational leaders and prison users; ensure work meets MoJ/GDS standards and is evidence-led, human-centred, safe and operationally viable; support discovery, alpha and beta activity across multiple strands of experimentation; improve understanding of data and information flows across NOMIS, DPS and other relevant systems; support safe testing, prioritisation and evaluation of new capabilities or service changes; prepare the work for transition to permanent product ownership, including documented roadmaps, backlog, decisions, evidence, risks and stakeholder relationships. This role supports a core HMPPS business strategy priority and the ABR-funded commitment to address safety management across the prison estate. It will help build the evidence base for future investment decisions and reduce the risk of underspend or poorly allocated spend across the three-year funding period.
