Summary:
Goldschmitt & Associates is seeking a Product Management SME to help Federal Student Aid translate mission and user outcomes into technically achievable product strategies, roadmaps, capabilities, backlogs, and measurable results.
The Product Management SME will serve as the technical bridge between FSA product owners and the architecture, data, integration, platform, security, engineering, and operations teams responsible for delivering the product. This role requires strong product-management expertise combined with sufficient technical depth to understand complex systems, challenge assumptions, identify dependencies, and help product owners make informed tradeoffs.
Job Duties and Responsibilities:
Mentor FSA product owners and supporting contractors on product-management practices
Help define product visions, desired outcomes, measurable objectives, roadmaps, and product performance measures
Translate mission and user needs into product capabilities and technically actionable priorities
Work with engineering, architecture, cloud, security, integration, and data teams to understand technical dependencies and constraints
Facilitate roadmap development and prioritization using business value, user outcomes, technical risk, architecture, security, operational health, and technical debt
Support backlog refinement and ensure backlog items remain connected to defined product outcomes
Help define epics, capabilities, features, user stories, acceptance criteria, and nonfunctional requirements
Incorporate system telemetry, operational data, user feedback, analytics, and performance information into product decision-making
Identify opportunities to deliver capabilities incrementally rather than through large project-based releases
Support product lifecycle management from discovery and initial capability development through modernization, operations, and continuous improvement
Facilitate discussions between technical and nontechnical stakeholders and translate complex technology issues into product implications
Identify architecture, integration, data, security, and platform decisions requiring escalation or executive review
Help develop reusable product-management practices, templates, metrics, decision frameworks, and governance standards
Coach teams in moving from output-based measures to measures of product performance, user outcomes, service health, and mission value
Necessary Skills and Knowledge:
Strong experience managing complex digital or technology products
Demonstrated understanding of software architecture, APIs, cloud platforms, data environments, integrations, DevSecOps, and modern software delivery
Experience developing product roadmaps and managing technically complex backlogs
Ability to engage architects and engineers credibly while communicating technical concepts to business and executive stakeholders
Strong analytical and facilitation skills
Experience with Agile and iterative delivery methods, while understanding that product management extends beyond Agile ceremonies
Minimum Qualifications:
Possess at least 8 years of product management, technical product management, engineering/product delivery, systems analysis, or related technology experience
Possess the ability to pass a 6C Public Trust investigation, including US citizenship
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience in federal or regulated technology environments
