Product Manager Global Fabric Ethernet (Manchester)

You’ll be executing a range of workstreams in product development programs across BT Group. This will see you managing the implementation and impact of company product strategies, product management, user experience (UX), software engineering, and analysis across multiple product lines.

You’ll be joining a team of 5, potentially with some direct reports under you. It will be great if you have exposure to managing teams virtually, as the wider team is spread over a few regions. The team itself is all about being customer first, proactive and encouraging new ideas. Got a new angle or way to improve a current process? They want to hear about it.

And because the team is so cross-functional across BT by nature you’ll be exposed to lots of different areas (like SDWAN and cloud/virtual products) and stakeholders. Long term that really opens up your options for development.

Key responsibilities:
- Launching layer 2 E-Line & E-LAN capability as a part of BT Global Fabric
- Own legacy Ethernet Connect Global (ECG) product and revenue, drive migrations onto Global Fabric and shut down ECG
- Support strategic customers using Layer 2 Ethernet
- Drive innovation to differentiate the new product in the market
