<p><strong>Role OVO-View</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Team:</strong> Data Platforms</p> <p><strong>Salary banding:</strong> £82,000 - £100,000</p> <p><strong>Contract type: </strong>12 month Fixed-Term Contract</p> <p><strong>Experience:</strong> Expert</p> <p><strong>Working pattern:</strong><strong> </strong>Full-Time</p> <p><strong>Reporting to: </strong>Delivery & Growth Lead</p> <p><strong>Sponsorship:</strong> Unfortunately we are unable to offer sponsorship for this role.</p> <p><strong>This role in 3 words:</strong> Enablement, Governance, Impact</p> <p><strong>Top 3 qualities for this role:</strong> Systems thinking, Analytical rigour, Stakeholder influence</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Where you’ll work:</strong></p> <p>Depending on the needs of your business area, we expect hub based people to be in the office at least once a week, and to go to OVO Connection events in-person. </p> <p>You’ll be assigned to the closest one of our three hub offices, Bristol, Glasgow, or London; unless your role requires field-based work. Each hub has accessible spaces to park your laptop, is designed to inspire people, help them connect and bring big ideas to life.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Everyone belongs at OVO:</strong></p> <p>At OVO, we are on a mission to solve one of humanity's biggest challenges, the climate crisis. And we know it takes all of us to change the world. That's why we need diverse people from all abilities, gender identities, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, life experiences and backgrounds to join us.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Teamworking for the planet:</strong></p> <p>Everything we do here spins around <a href="https://company.ovo.com/planzero/">Plan Zero.</a> So, naturally, the team you’ll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen. Here’s how:</p> <p>The Data Platform team builds the "golden path" for data at OVO: the ingestion, publishing, governance, and self-serve tooling that turns operational data into trusted, AI-ready data products, served both as operational APIs and as analytical data products in BigQuery. We're moving OVO to a governed data ecosystem where every team, and every AI agent, can find data, trust it, and build on it, whether they need it in real time or for analysis. Get this right and every downstream decision, model, and customer conversation rests on data people can rely on.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>This role in a nutshell:</strong></p> <p>As a Staff Product Manager at OVO, you'll lead the product vision and strategy for the Data Platform: the tooling and governance that make OVO's data trusted, discoverable, and easy to reuse across both operational APIs and analytical data products served through BigQuery. The platform is the enabler for OVO's data simplification work: establishing clear sources of truth for core business entities, consolidating pipelines and APIs around them, and making data ownership explicit. You'll own a portfolio spanning three capability areas: a golden-path platform foundation, trust and governance at scale, and self-serve discovery so teams find and reuse trusted data as the default. You'll bring data engineering, API and platform engineering, data science, analytics, and data-producing teams together, and use evidence (usage analytics, cost data, user research) to prioritise the work that raises trust, cuts cost, and raises reuse. We're looking for a blend of strategic insight, technical fluency, and stakeholder influence to set product direction grounded in real signals and OVO's business strategy.</p> <p>Well-governed data is what will let OVO deliver on its AI ambitions at scale, so an understanding of how AI and ML solutions consume and depend on well-governed data is valuable</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Your key outcomes will be:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Governed, trusted, AI ready data at scale: </strong>Raise the share of well-governed datasets and the level of trust teams place in OVO's data sources and ensure data is classified and access-controlled so it can be relied on by people and served safely to AI and ML workloads.</li> <li><strong>Self-serve by default: </strong>Enable every team to publish, discover, and consume trusted data products without engineering bottlenecks, whether through governed APIs or analytical data products, supported by Data Platform capabilities to ingest, transform and publish data products.</li> <li><strong>Data simplification and sources of truth: </strong>Partner with OVO's Data Architect to establish clear sources of truth for OVO's core entities, consolidate pipelines, tables, and APIs around them, and make data ownership explicit, reducing cost-to-serve and ensuring every decision rests on the same source of truth.</li> <li><strong>Cost and performance: </strong>Give the business real-time visibility of platform performance and spend, and drive platform cost efficiency including BigQuery capacity management.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Key Responsibilities:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Shape and deliver Platform strategy: </strong>Define and drive a clear product strategy across the platform's pillars (ingestion and transformation, trust and governance, self-serve marketplace, and AI enablement) spanning both
