Fulltime Product Development Manager Jobs in Reston, VA

The AWS Product Acceleration (PA) team is seeking an experienced Business Development Manager to lead product-strategy engagements with Chief Product Officers (CPOs) and product leaders of GovTech and EdTech software companies. In this role, you will translate customer roadmap challenges into actionable, AWS-powered plans and drive the change management required to help organizations adopt artificial intelligence (AI) across their product development organizations.
The ideal candidate brings instant executive credibility, built on a track record of shipping innovative products that gained strong adoption with regulated public sector end-customers. You are equally comfortable painting the big picture in a boardroom and following up on deliverables with the customer to ensure momentum

You bring sharp business judgment, knowing where to invest time and resources. You have a genuine curiosity about AI and have real, hands-on experience with its implications on development life cycles, use cases, and business growth.
Day to day, you will create and qualify opportunities that drive mutual growth through product innovation, synthesize market and technology trends into digestible insights for customers and internal stakeholders, and proactively research companies to prototype new ideas. This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of product strategy, customer obsession, and emerging technology.
A day in the life
You start your morning leading a discovery session with a customer CPO whose board has mandated new AI-driven product innovation

Next, you align with an AWS account team on how to position Product Acceleration for a new customer engagement. After that, you escalate a key risk you identified that is jeopardizing a customer's product launch timeline and secure the right resources to unblock progress. In between meetings, you update your pipeline to keep opportunities moving and priorities clear.

You wrap up the day finalizing the workshop you're delivering tomorrow to help a customer turn ideas into working prototypes.
