About us
IMPOWER is the country’s largest independent management consultancy, focussed exclusively on helping our public sector clients improve services for their local communities - and getting the best use of the public pound.
We understand that impactful and meaningful change cannot be solved sustainably through traditional, liner project management approaches. Our unique EDGEWORK methodology provides our clients with the skills, techniques and mindset to collaboratively solve the complex problems they face – and we have shown that IMPOWER’s way of approaching change has provided better outcomes for service users that have cost our clients less to deliver.
Our team of highly skilled consultants use applied behavioural science, insight, creativity and a talent for building strong relationships to transform public service delivery. If you have a passion for improving public services and the energy to tackle some of our clients’ most difficult challenges, we hope you will be inspired to join our team.
About the role
As a Product Manager, you will play an important role in building our product team as well as designing and managing one or more of our data-led products to both ensure our clients achieve success from their use and to support IMPOWER’s goals. Our products support and enhance IMPOWER’s consultancy business, enabling crucial insights to be generated rapidly and consistently.
This role has a broad remit spanning product development and customer success, including ensuring that an emphasis on products and their value alongside and within our consultancy propositions becomes a part of the IMPOWER business culture.
Your responsibilities will encompass how insights from data can be better utilised and understood across organisational stakeholders, projects and Value Proposition markets through the use of analytics tools and products. You will ensure product solutions are user-centric, delivering value to our clients to enhance their decision-making processes.
Our Product Manager at IMPOWER sits within our Applied Analytics Team and works collaboratively with our Value Proposition owners to develop and execute an innovation pipeline that both enhances current analytical tools and introduces new ones to the benefit of project delivery.
You will also support work across IMPOWER to build long term relationships with clients by putting in place processes that allow clients to access embedded analytics products after IMPOWER has completed its project delivery.

What we offer
-
Being human
We are led by our values and by a desire to do the right thing. Our starting point is respect - for the people who work in public services, and the people who use them (including, of course, our own employees). -
Celebrating individual differences
We value all differences in our team, acknowledging different skills, experiences and motivations. -
Wellbeing
Wellbeing – employee wellbeing is a company priority and we treat it accordingly. We look out for each other - for example, since the pandemic struck, staff have been empowered to adjust their working hours and manage their diaries to encompass home schooling or caring responsibilities. We have a wellbeing action group which works with colleagues from across the business to develop wellbeing initiatives and strategies, such as training a team of Mental Health First Aiders. We provide a gym subsidy contribution (including for online fitness class subscriptions). -
Flexibility
We have parent, guardian, and carer friendly policies in place. -
Insurance
We provide private health, dental, life and income protection insurance. -
Socials
We are a social bunch! We like to get together regularly in project teams or as a whole company, whether for meals out or an activity. Even during periods of lockdown we have kept this up via our online clubs, virtual drinks and fitness challenges. The strength of our social relationships at work have helped create and maintain a genuinely supportive company culture. -
Development opportunities
We offer regular training and development opportunities, and personal development is a key element of ‘People Friday’, held every two weeks. -
Corporate social responsibility
All our staff can spend two days a year volunteering in support of causes or organisations that are important to them. -
Discounts
Our employees benefit from discounts through Perkbox.
Company culture
We are determined to achieve positive impact and contribute to a better society – but also to be a good employer, so that our people can enjoy their work and fulfil their potential.
Here’s what some of our colleagues say:
- "People ACTUALLY care...about each other, about the public sector, about making a difference on a daily basis (it's not lip service it's true!)"
- "I came to IMPOWER straight from the public sector, and it feels like the company are equally as driven to deliver outcomes for citizens as colleagues in the public sector are"
- "There is a culture of high performance but with the support, trust and emphasis on personal development needed to thrive. There is a real focus on outcomes and client impact"
- "We're an intellectually curious, seriously friendly bunch...who aren't afraid to go against the grain to make a big positive impact on people's lives"
- "The culture is supportive, fun and mind-expanding. I feel respected by my managers and colleagues and empowered to think of new ways to meet client expectations"
