They are hiring a Data Product Manager to lead the integration of government data systems into a secure, AI-enabled platform.

The Role

You will sit at the intersection of Product, Engineering, and Go-To-Market teams, acting as the subject matter expert on government data systems. This role focuses on understanding, mapping, and integrating data sources that are critical to customer workflows.

You will:

• Experience working with or integrating platforms such as ADVANA, JUPITER, or similar
• Strong understanding of data structures, ETL processes, and data architecture
• Comfortable working with SQL and Python at a functional level
• Experience working cross-functionally with technical and non-technical teams
• Ability to communicate complex data concepts clearly

Nice to Have

• Experience in a startup or high-growth environment
• Exposure to defense acquisition or national security data
• Previous people management or leadership experience

What They Are Looking For

• Strong system literacy and understanding of how government data is structured and accessed
• Experience working with raw data rather than purely BI or dashboarding tools
• Ability to navigate the complexity and constraints of government environments
• A proactive, ownership-driven mindset

Additional Details

• U.S. Citizenship required
• Ability to obtain security clearance
• 25 percent travel to meet with customers and stakeholders

This is a high-impact opportunity to shape how critical government data is structured, accessed, and used in real-world decision making.
