On-siteFalls Church, Virginia, United States

Full TimeSenior LevelMedium

Job Summary

Own the software product portfolio and roadmap, continuously prioritizing initiatives by business value, adoption potential, and strategic fit. Lead product discovery with business, operations, and field partners across the full value chain to identify the highest-value problems worth solving. Translate business problems into clear product strategies, success metrics, and well-sequenced product bets, revisiting them as conditions change. Directly manage a collection of small, lean, agile teams of AI-fluent engineers building alongside AI agents, including pod composition, cadence, and delivery commitments. Run the delivery system hands-on: shape backlogs, facilitate planning and reviews, clear blockers, and sustain a fast, healthy shipping rhythm built on small batches and rapid iteration. Work in the product daily—writing and refining requirements, pressure-testing prototypes, reviewing releases, and making scope and tradeoff calls in real time. Build deep, ongoing relationships with project teams, field leaders, and corporate partners, spending time where the work happens to understand problems firsthand. Establish feedback loops and usage analytics that connect what the pods build to measurable operational and business results. Coach pod members in modern product craft and help train existing team members as they join the practice.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or a related field
  • 10+ years of experience in software product management, product delivery, or engineering leadership
  • 4+ years directly managing teams that ship production software
  • Hands-on experience leading teams that build with AI-enabled and agentic development methods
  • Proven track record delivering software products end to end — from discovery through launch, adoption, and iteration — in lean, agile teams
  • Player-coach leadership style, equally comfortable managing the team and working in the product, with sound instincts for when to do each
  • Fluency in outcome-based product management: defining success metrics, instrumenting products, and making evidence-based roadmap and tradeoff decisions
  • Excellent stakeholder management, with the range to work credibly with executives, corporate functions, and frontline field users
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to make priorities and tradeoffs clear to any audience
  • Experience delivering software for field-based or operational users, or in construction, engineering, or manufacturing environments

  • Advanced degree
