The Work
Our Digital Modernization Division delivers integrated technology and management consulting services, helping clients design, build, and operate high  performance digital platforms. 

The Product Manager will own product direction and execution for a complex enterprise workflow/platform initiative, ensuring delivery of mission outcomes through disciplined product management, stakeholder alignment, and iterative delivery within a regulated environment.

Job Location

What You Will Do
•    You will serve as the primary product owner and decision authority for an enterprise platform, balancing mission priorities, user needs, technical constraints, and delivery realities within a federal context.
•    You will define and evolve the product vision, roadmap, and success criteria, translating agency objectives and user needs into actionable epics, features, and backlog priorities that drive measurable outcomes, adoption, and operational value.
•    You will own and manage the product backlog end‑to‑end, ensuring high‑quality user stories and acceptance criteria, clear prioritization based on value and risk, and alignment with architectural and security requirements.
•    You will lead roadmap and release planning, defining MVP scope, sequencing capabilities across releases, managing tradeoffs across scope, schedule, and risk, and ensuring readiness for incremental deployments in compliance‑driven environments.
•    You will guide Agile delivery execution, facilitating sprint planning, backlog refinement, demos, and retrospectives, and ensuring alignment with definitions of ready and done to maintain predictable, high‑quality delivery.
•    You will partner closely with engineering, architecture, security, and enterprise governance stakeholders to ensure technical feasibility, manage technical debt, and embed non‑functional requirements, including security, performance, auditability, and compliance, directly into the product backlog.
•    You will own end‑to‑end validation of delivered functionality, coordinating UAT activities, supporting test strategy alignment, triaging defects, and verifying that delivered capabilities meet user needs and acceptance criteria.
•    You will manage delivery risk and transparency by maintaining RAID logs, dependency tracking, and delivery metrics, and by providing clear, executive‑ready status reporting to government and internal stakeholders.
•    You will support governance and operational readiness by ensuring product documentation, decision logs, release notes, and handoff materials are complete, accurate, and usable for downstream operations and sustainment teams.
•    You will provide leadership, coaching, and mentorship to project managers, technical leads, and delivery staff, fostering strong collaboration and accountability across distributed teams.

What You Will Bring With You
•    Bachelor’s degree in a related field (or equivalent experience).
•    6+ years of experience in Product Management or Technical Product Management leading enterprise platforms in Agile delivery environments, with demonstrated accountability for delivery outcomes.
•    5+ years of experience serving as a primary product owner or product lead with authority to prioritize backlogs, make tradeoff decisions, and balance mission needs, value, risk, and delivery constraints.
•    5+ years of experience coordinating cross‑functional teams, including engineering, UX, QA, security, SMEs, and governance stakeholders, while managing complex and competing stakeholder expectations.
•    4+ years of experience defining and managing product roadmaps, MVP scope, and release plans for enterprise or platform‑based solutions, including incremental delivery in regulated environments.
•    4+ years of experience writing high‑quality epics, features, user stories, and acceptance criteria, and maintaining backlog health to support predictable sprint execution.
•    3+ years of experience supporting federal clients or regulated programs, with familiarity operating within compliance‑driven, policy‑oriented delivery models (USDA experience is a plus).
•    Ability to obtain and maintain required background checks/clearances as applicable to contract requirements. 

What We Would Like You To Bring With You (Preferred)
•    Master’s degree
•    Experience delivering on Salesforce based  or other enterprise workflow platforms.
•    Familiarity with API‑enabled, integration‑heavy product ecosystems.
•    PMP, PMI ACP, CSM/CSPO, SAFe, or equivalent certifications (nice to have).

Professional Skills
•    Strong product ownership mindset with accountability for outcomes, not just delivery.
•    Ability to translate mission needs and policy objectives into executable product plans.
•    Excellent facilitation, prioritization, and decision‑making skills.
•    Clear, concise written and verbal communication, including executive‑level reporting.
•    Comfort operating in ambiguity and driving progress in complex environments.
