GDIT is seeking a dynamic Product Manager to lead product strategy and delivery for a next-generation federal platform modernization program. In this pivotal role, you'll drive innovation across a multi-year effort to consolidate legacy systems into a unified, modern platform, deliver high-impact solutions in a cross-functional SAFe Agile environment, and serve as the critical bridge between federal mission needs and engineering execution.

MEANINGFUL WORK AND PERSONAL IMPACT

As a Product Manager, the work you do at GDIT will directly shape how a federal agency modernizes mission-critical operations and retires legacy tools.

• Lead product strategy and backlog ownership for a platform consolidating fragmented legacy systems into a unified, modern solution
• Collaborate with federal stakeholders, UX designers, and engineering teams to translate complex policy and operational requirements into actionable product roadmaps
• Drive measurable outcomes through OKRs, User Validation Events, and quarterly roadmap delivery aligned to contractual milestones
• Utilize SAFe ceremonies, hypothesis-driven development, and data-driven prioritization to manage a multi-increment product lifecycle

Responsibilities

• Drive product strategy, discovery, and development for complex federal mission capabilities
• Own and prioritize the product backlog with traceability to contractual commitments and mission objectives
• Engage with federal executives and program leadership, presenting insights, strategies, and progress updates through monthly health indicators and quarterly roadmap reviews
• Manage the product roadmap across base year and option year scope, balancing system consolidation with future capability growth
• Cultivate strong relationships with federal customers to ensure project success, conduct User Validation Events (UVEs), and identify opportunities to expand platform value
• Translate intricate domain concepts into tangible artifacts and actionable product strategies
• Coordinate cross-team dependencies with DevSecOps, security/compliance, and UX

Core Product Skills

• Strong product mindset including hypothesis-driven development and data-driven results
• User-centered thinking and ability to collaborate with UX teams on complex federal workflows
• Strategic roadmapping and prioritization across contractual milestones
• SAFe Agile methodologies - PI Planning, sprint reviews, backlog refinement
• Day-to-day backlog and delivery management with Jira or equivalent
• Stakeholder management and communication at both technical and executive levels

Leadership and Relationship Building

• Ability to mobilize cross-functional teams towards achieving key mission outcomes
• Strategic vision to align product initiatives with the customer's modernization goals
• Expertise in navigating complex federal client ecosystems and building long-term partnerships
• Skill in identifying and capitalizing on new opportunities within existing client relationships
• Capacity to influence and gain buy-in from both internal stakeholders and federal executives
• Proven track record of leading high-impact projects that deliver measurable results

WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO SUCCEED

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Business, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
• Experience: 7+ years of product management experience within a scaled Agile or SAFe organization
• Demonstrated experience in product strategy and development on federal IT modernization programs
• Proven ability to manage multiple full product lifecycles from discovery to delivery
• Technical background sufficient to drive engineering deliverables and understand ATO/DevSecOps processes
• Strong leadership and communication skills, adept at federal stakeholder management
• Security clearance: Active Secret
• US citizenship required

Preferred Qualifications

• SAFe Product Owner/Product Manager (POPM) certification
• Familiarity with low-code platforms and legacy system migration strategies
• Prior experience supporting system decommissioning efforts
• Experience with federal regulatory or policy-driven domains

Location: Remote with periodic on-site (Washington, D.C.)
