Responsibilities

Own the program's product vision, multi-quarter roadmap, prioritized backlog, and stakeholder alignment.
Facilitate Community of Interest and Key User Community sessions with government and partner-nation representatives to elicit and prioritize requirements.
Apply a quantitative feature prioritization framework to score features against strategic value, customer satisfaction, performance and security, level of effort, complexity, and risk to produce a defensible delivery sequence.
Translate audit-driven non-functional requirements into prioritized backlog items that advance the program's financial audit remediation mandate.
Govern the dual-track Agile cadence, allocating sprint capacity between operations and new features, with an audit remediation lane reserved within new-feature capacity.
Author and maintain epics, features, and user stories in the project management platform with full traceability from requirements to test cases, acceptance criteria, and delivered functionality.
Lead sprint planning, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, and quarterly Program Increment planning with the Government Product Owner, delivery team, and partner-agency representatives.
Co-chair the Change Control Board with the Government Product Owner to ensure changes have government approval and an audit-evidence trail.
Produce a recurring program mission value report linking features to strategic goals, outcomes, audit remediation, and end-user impact for leadership and oversight.
Operate a metrics-based delivery framework, surfacing sprint velocity, escaped defects, automated test coverage, change failure rate, mean time to restore, traceability compliance, and audit-readiness indicators in status reports.
Integrate human-centered design into the product lifecycle, ensuring UI/UX outputs feed backlog prioritization and that accessibility compliance (Section 508 / WCAG 2.1 AA) is a core property.
Collaborate with the Platform / DevSecOps Lead to maintain CI/CD artifacts as standing audit evidence.
Work with Backend Engineering and Data Engineering leads to maintain data completeness, interface mapping, and enterprise data feed readiness for financial audit traceability.
Serve as the primary product-facing interface to the COR, Government Product Owner, the agency IT organization, and partner-nation representatives.
Lead release planning, manage scope boundaries, and arbitrate trade-offs with the Government using evidence-based methods; maintain release notes and adoption artifacts for each production release.
Maintain a refreshed risk register covering technical, operational, schedule, cybersecurity, and audit risks with owners and status visible in dashboards.
Ensure adherence to established CMMI Level 3 DEV and SVC appraised processes for requirements management, configuration management, measurement and analysis, decision analysis and resolution, and QA.
Represent the program in governance boards, technical interchanges, and cross-agency groups with feasibility input and roadmap guidance.
Mentor Business Analysts and support recruiting, onboarding, and professional development of the product team.
Research emerging product management practices and federal governance innovations, recommending pragmatic adoption only when user value or audit evidence improves.
