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.
Visit the LibraryOn website: libraryon.org
As one of the world’s great libraries, our duty is to preserve the nation’s intellectual memory for the future and make it available to all for research, inspiration and enjoyment. At present, we have well over 170 million items, in most known languages, with three million new items added every year. We have manuscripts, maps, newspapers, magazines, prints and drawings, music scores, and patents. We make our collections and programmes available to all. We operate the world’s largest document delivery service providing millions of items a year to customers all over the world. What matters to us is that we preserve the national memory and enable knowledge to be created both now and in the future by anyone, anywhere.
In return, we offer a competitive salary and a number of excellent benefits.  Our pension scheme is one of the most valuable benefits we offer, as our staff can become members of the Alpha Pension Scheme where the Library contributes a minimum of 28.97% (this may be higher dependant on grade. Another significant benefit the Library provides is the provision of a flexible working hours scheme which could allow you to work your hours flexibly over the week and to take up to 5 days flexi leave in a 3 month period. This is on top of 25 days holiday from entry and public and privilege holidays.
