Requirements

• 7+ years of product management experience, with a proven track record leading digital products and modernization efforts (public sector experience is a plus)
• Experience leading multiple Agile Scrum teams in a scaled agile environment (e.g., SAFe or similar frameworks)
• Strong communicator with the ability to collaborate across technical, non-technical, policy, and stakeholder groups
• Ability to understand and communicate the big picture while confidently navigating and explaining detailed requirements, processes, or technical elements when needed
• Skilled at translating complex business and policy requirements into technical roadmaps, particularly in the Medicaid or healthcare-related domains
• Deep knowledge of agile product practices, backlog management, and iterative delivery in regulated environments
• Proven ability to manage distributed teams and subcontractors with coordination and accountability
• Familiar with DevSecOps, CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code practices supporting digital delivery
• Understanding of accessibility and compliance standards, including Section 508 and WCAG 2.1
• Full-time resident of the contiguous United States (must be legally authorized to work in the United States now and in the future without sponsorship)
• Able to pass a Public Trust background check (additional security clearance may be required based on project needs)

Responsibilities

• Define and lead the product vision for a large-scale public-sector system modernization, transitioning from a legacy platform to a secure, scalable, and user-centered digital solution
• Own the long-term product roadmap and strategy, ensuring alignment with regulatory objectives, user needs, and internal stakeholder priorities
• Present product development progress, milestones, metrics, and roadmap to both project stakeholders and executives, ensuring transparency, informed decision making, and stakeholder alignment
• Measure and optimize product performance, leveraging metrics, usability feedback, and stakeholder input to guide continuous improvement
• Manage backlog and roadmap execution, ensuring features are prioritized based on compliance requirements, user research, technical feasibility, and business value
• Define and refine low-level requirements by working hands-on with cross-functional teams to translate policy, reporting, and operational needs into user stories, acceptance criteria, and technical specifications
• Personally contribute to execution—writing stories, clarifying business rules, testing functionality, and shaping product decisions alongside the team; this is not just a delegating role, the Senior Product Manager is expected to do the work when needed to maintain momentum and clarity
• Ensure compliance-aligned product delivery by participating actively in planning, backlog grooming, and execution decision making
• Oversee 3–4 Agile Scrum teams, leading cross-functional collaboration across engineering, human-centered design, platform infrastructure, QA, and policy experts within a scaled agile framework
• Collaborate with agile leadership, including a Release Train Engineer (RTE), to lead program increment planning, backlog grooming, and team synchronization ceremonies
• Balance high-level strategic planning with a willingness to dive into the details
• Drive stakeholder alignment across the ecosystem, engaging multiple departments and leadership tiers within a large federal agency to build consensus, balance competing priorities, and ensure transparency and shared ownership of product decisions
• Coordinate delivery across multiple subcontracting partners, aligning planning, execution, and communication within an integrated program delivery structure
• Promote delivery excellence, embedding accessibility, security, automation, and documentation into all stages of product development

Benefits

• Flexible PTO along with paid holidays
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• A 401(k) plan with an employer match
• Internet, phone, and home office stipends
• A professional development fund along with numerous growth opportunities
