## Description

Goldschmitt & Associates is seeking an Executive Enterprise Product Transformation Lead, an exceptional senior enterprise leader to help Federal Student Aid fundamentally transform how technology and digital services are governed, prioritized, delivered, measured, and continuously improved. The role will operate at enterprise scale, advising FSA leadership, shaping the product operating model, influencing major systems integrators and delivery partners, and helping institutionalize a durable shift from project-centered execution to product-led, customer-responsive management. The successful leader must be equally credible with executives, product leaders, engineers, architects, operations teams, and large delivery organizations, and must be able to turn broad transformation goals into practical governance, decision rights, operating rhythms, measures, and behaviors that can endure across the agency., * Serve as a senior enterprise advisor to FSA leadership on the transition from project-centered delivery to a sustainable, product-oriented operating model aligned to mission outcomes, borrower needs, operational priorities, and measurable value

 * Shape and help institutionalize agency-wide product governance, including product ownership, decision rights, intake, prioritization, roadmap practices, backlog management, lifecycle management, performance transparency, and accountability
 * Assess product management maturity across organizations and delivery teams, identify structural and capability gaps, and design targeted transformation strategies that can scale across a complex federal enterprise
 * Influence and align major systems integrators, contractors, technical teams, and business organizations around common product outcomes, operating principles, standards, and delivery expectations; challenge legacy processes when they impede product performance or customer outcomes
 * Coach senior leaders, product managers, product owners, engineering and delivery leaders, and cross-functional teams on product strategy, outcome-based delivery, prioritization, customer discovery, iterative capability delivery, and data-informed decision-making
 * Facilitate executive and cross-functional working sessions, Design Thinking workshops, product reviews, planning forums, and decision-making sessions that move teams from technical outputs toward user-centered outcomes and measurable service health
 * Establish integrated product and program management practices for planning, scheduling, reporting, risk management, dependency management, and backlog control in alignment with FSA priorities
 * Create practical mechanisms for coordinating upstream and downstream interfaces, technical dependencies, organizational handoffs, readiness conditions, and sequencing across FSA systems and participating organizations
 * Develop repeatable product frameworks, playbooks, templates, review cadences, communities of practice, office hours, and other knowledge-transfer mechanisms that enable FSA to sustain the transformation without long-term dependence on external coaching
 * Define and promote product outcome frameworks and KPIs that connect strategic objectives, stakeholder and user feedback, operational performance, and technology delivery
 * Synthesize stakeholder feedback, data, operational insights, and technical constraints into clear recommendations and decision support for FSA leadership and, when required, communications supporting senior federal stakeholders including OMB
 * Promote a culture of design thinking, experimentation, continuous learning, transparency, shared accountability, and customer-focused problem solving across business and technology organizations
