You can understand the daily reality of a government program manager and turn fragmented work, dependencies, status reporting, and decision needs into a clear product experience. * Experience leading agile technical teams and managing product backlogs, roadmaps, releases, tradeoffs, and stakeholder expectations. * Commercial instinct and sales leadership. You can define a value proposition, calculate customer ROI, develop pricing and packaging, lead demos, and help close business alongside account and Sales Engineering teams. * Technical fluency sufficient to lead architecture and implementation discussions with engineers, security teams, and customer technical stakeholders. You can translate customer needs into requirements without losing sight of the product strategy. * Experience with federal software deployment, including RMF, ATO processes, FedRAMP, DoD security requirements, Platform One or comparable accredited environments, and enterprise integration patterns. * Ability to operate with autonomy in an ambiguous, early-stage product environment while bringing structure, decisions, and momentum. * Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret clearance required; active Secret or Top Secret clearance preferred. Bonus Points For * Experience commercializing a federal software product or turning a customer-funded pilot into a repeatable offering. * Background as a software engineer, systems engineer, solution architect, or technical lead. * Experience in government program management, portfolio management, logistics, acquisition, readiness, installation management, or other complex mission operations. * Experience with user research, workflow mapping, human-centered design, and product analytics. * Experience building SaaS, low-code/no-code, workflow-management, portfolio-management, or enterprise dashboard products. * Experience with cloud authorization, continuous ATO, DevSecOps, and deployment across both DoD and civilian-agency environments. ## Description What You'll Do Own Cadence's transition from the initial pilot into a repeatable, market-ready federal product. Establish the product vision, roadmap, release plan, backlog, and success measures. * Lead a small technical team within Sales Engineering. Translate customer needs into clear epics, user stories, technical requirements, priorities, and acceptance criteria; guide sprint planning, delivery, and product quality. * Spend time with federal program managers, mission owners, and delivery teams to understand how they actually manage work today: fragmented task systems, cross-team dependencies, status reporting, decision cycles, and the burden of reconciling inputs into an integrated picture. * Identify the common problems Cadence can solve across DoD and civilian agencies, distinguish reusable product capabilities from customer-specific configuration, and turn that learning into a scalable product roadmap. * Define Cadence's technical architecture and integration strategy. Determine how it should connect to customer environments and systems such as Microsoft 365/Power Platform, Planner, Jira, ServiceNow, data platforms, mission applications, and agency-specific workflows. * Shape the federal deployment strategy, including FedRAMP, DoD Impact Levels, Platform One or related hosting paths, RMF/ATO requirements, security controls, identity and access management, data handling, and integration constraints. * Build the commercial case for Cadence. Define target customers and use cases, pricing and packaging, implementation approach, customer ROI, value proposition, and the path from pilot to enterprise adoption. * Partner across LMI with sales, account teams, capture, delivery, platform teams, security, and leadership to identify opportunities, develop customer-specific solutions, and convert demand into revenue. * Lead Cadence demos, discovery sessions, and technical discussions with customers. Clearly explain the product's value to both program leadership and technical stakeholders. * Establish product measures that matter: customer adoption, time saved, reduced reporting and coordination burden, delivery predictability, SLA performance, pipeline growth, pilot conversion, revenue, and customer expansion. ## Related Videos - [The Intent Engineer: Closing the Gap Between Business & Engineering - Manuel Klein](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1855-the-intent-engineer-closing-the-gap-between-business-engineering-manuel-klein) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Reimagining app development with Low-code and AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1651-reimagining-app-development-with-low-code-and-ai) - [DevSecOps: Injecting Security into Mobile CI/CD Pipelines](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/273-devsecops-injecting-security-into-mobile-ci-cd-pipelines) - [Stop Renaming Teams, Start Product Thinking: A PM's Guide to Platform-as-a-Product](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100342-stop-renaming-teams-start-product-thinking-a-pm-s-guide-to-platform-as-a-product) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager) - [Should Tech Managers Be Developers First?
