We’re BDO. An accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organisations need to navigate today’s changing world.
We work with the companies that are Britain’s economic engine – ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high‑growth businesses that fuel the economy - and directly advise the owners and management teams that lead them.
We’ll broaden your horizons
To ensure our services and applications are fit for the modern market, our IT team collaborates with every department. They develop, they explore and they implement the new ideas helping us to change the future of accounting, tax and business consulting. But, just as importantly, they maintain the tech that keeps us advancing. By testing and adopting the future of financial technical solutions, they find new and exciting ways to drive us forward. And you could too. In an IT role at BDO, you’ll become part of a team that act as the backbone for our business. No matter who you are or what your skillset is, we’ll give you the training and support you need to achieve whatever you put your mind to.
We’ll help you succeed
Leading organisations trust us because of the quality of our advice. That quality grows from a thorough understanding of their business, and that understanding comes from working closely with them and building long-lasting relationships.
You’ll be someone who is both comfortable working proactively and managing your own tasks, as well as confident collaborating with others and communicating regularly with senior managers, directors, and BDO’s partners to help businesses effectively. You’ll be encouraged to identify and draw attention to opportunities for enhancing our delivery and providing additional services to organisations we work with.
As a Digital Product Manager at BDO, you'll play a crucial role within our IT team and the Innovation and Digital capability. You'll manage a diverse portfolio of digital products, collaborating closely with Business Product Owners and overseeing the entire product lifecycle, from inception to delivery, as well as ongoing improvements and enhancements. Our digital products range from client-facing, AI-driven services to internal tools that impact the daily work of over 10,000 employees.
You'll be part of the Innovation and Digital function, a dedicated and substantial investment by BDO to lead the future of technology change by introducing new digital products and services. Our team of over 50 talented individuals includes designers, developers, and innovation managers, working on projects from generative AI products to automation and e-commerce solutions. We collaborate with partners such as Microsoft and other leading technology providers, and our digital products are used by employees, clients, audited entities, suppliers, regulators, and other BDO firms worldwide.
We're seeking individuals who have an understanding of the product management role and are eager to apply their expertise in supporting our firm's digital journey. If you're passionate about digital technology, data, AI, and emerging technologies, you'll fit right in.
The ideal candidate for this role is a highly self-motivated and driven Product Manager with a passion for service and quality. You'll need plenty of energy, self-confidence, and a desire to be a product evangelist. Understanding the benefits of adopting a product-led, agile delivery approach and being able to convey this to other areas of our firm is essential.
In this busy and rewarding role you’ll also:
Manage the day-to-day operation and direction of digital products under your ownership.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver business outcomes and enhance user experience.
Act as a key liaison between Business Product Owners and Product Team to maximise product value.
Apply and promote best practices in product management within the team and wider organisation.
Develop a strong understanding of the products you manage, including their organisational and technical aspects.
Maintain and prioritise the product backlog, evaluating opportunities based on business and user needs.
Support Business Product Owners in shaping product strategy and roadmap decisions.
Ensure product development incorporates user feedback, feature enhancements, and operational improvements.
Monitor and analyse product metrics to drive engagement and performance.
Stay informed about market trends to ensure products remain competitive and relevant.
Build a working knowledge of the technologies underpinning your products.
Communicate effectively with stakeholders to ensure alignment and successful delivery.
Foster strong relationships across teams and advocate for the needs of end-users.
Represent the voice of the customer by understanding their interactions, feedback, and motivations.
Use collaborative language and questioning techniques to identify issues and encourage open dialogue.
Present complex information clearly and concisely, using non-technical language where appropriate.
Take ownership and accountability for the products you manage.
Empower team members to work autonomously and deliver high-quality outcomes.
Stay informed about emerging trends, tools, and techniques in product management and technology.
You’ll be someone with:
Proven experience as a Digital Product Manager or similar role.
Hands-on experience working in Agile delivery teams and participating in ceremonies such as stand-ups, retrospectives, and backlog refinement.
Familiarity with work management tools like Azure DevOps or Jira.
Strong skills in product and feature discovery, requirements gathering, and user story creation.
Awareness of Product Operations and its role in driving product management excellence.
You’ll be able to be yourself; we’ll recognise and value you for who you are and celebrate and reward your contributions to the business. We’re committed to agile working, and we offer every colleague the opportunity to work in ways that suit you, your teams, and the task at hand.
