What is the purpose of this job?
This role will own the digital product roadmap for RDG’s Accessible Journey Planner (AJP), leading and championing the end-to-end digital customer experience and user interface design from supplier procurement and selection through design, development, testing and go-live.

Role Overview

- Supplier procurement, selection and management: lead product input to procurement and supplier selection, define requirements and success measures, and work with the chosen supplier and internal teams to deliver against agreed scope, quality and timelines.
- Journey planning complexity and accessibility compliance: navigate the complexity of rules-based journey planning for an important customer group, ensuring the service is accessible and inclusive by design and remains compliant with relevant standards, policies and regulations as it evolves.
- Roadmap alignment and stakeholder leadership: own and communicate the AJP strategic roadmap, ensuring alignment to the DfT’s Accessibility roadmap and RDG priorities, and providing clear decisions, trade-offs and updates to stakeholders.
- Live service, continuous improvement and OKRs: define and track success measures for AJP, monitor performance and feedback, and prioritise enhancements, defect fixes and optimisation to improve outcomes over time.

- Drive end-to-end delivery from concept through build, test and release planning iterations, managing dependencies and supporting the team to deliver at pace without compromising quality.
- Champion accessibility and inclusive design, ensuring the product meets agreed accessibility standards, is informed by user research (including disabled users), and remains compliant as features evolve.
- Manage stakeholders and communications across RDG, suppliers/partners and industry bodies, building alignment, handling trade-offs and providing clear updates on progress, risks and decisions.
- Use data to optimise performance by defining success metrics/OKRs, monitoring live performance and customer feedback, and continuously improving journeys based on evidence.
