4 Govini Engineers Jobs Hiring Near You

Senior Product Manager, Supply Chain Application Develop and integrate new features into Govini's Ark platform Supply Chain Application

Location: Arlington, VA, United States

About The Role

Govini transforms Defense Acquisition from an outdated manual process to a software-driven strategic advantage for the United States. Our flagship product, Ark, supports Supply Chain, Science and Technology, Production, Sustainment, and Modernization teams with AI-enabled Applications and best-in-class data to more rapidly imagine, develop, and field the capabilities we need. Today, the national security community and every branch of the military rely on Govini to enable faster and more informed Acquisition decisions.

We are seeking a product-oriented leader to lead the development of the Supply Chain Application within the Ark platform. This is an individual contributor role responsible for prioritizing, rationalizing, and integrating new features and existing prototypes into our Supply Chain Application. As the product owner, you are accountable for delivering valuable and differentiated solutions at scale, end-to-end, within our Ark platform. You will also partner with our sales and implementation teams to shape how we talk about our Supply Chain offering in the marketplace in a way that resonates with our customers.

Govini's application-aligned product managers are responsible for thinking broadly across the communities we serve and delivering solutions that provide value to a wide range of customers. They partner with account-aligned PMs, as well as our sales and implementation teams, to broadly scale 'in-the-field' solutions and improve the configurability and adaptability of our platform. In this role, you will partner with customer-aligned PMs to integrate prototype workflows and capabilities into full production within the Ark. You should be highly motivated by the market adoption of the solutions you successfully launch.

In order to do this job well, you must possess exceptional judgment when it comes to identifying opportunities to deliver customer value in a productized way, as well as in the relative prioritization of those opportunities. You must work effectively cross-functionally in often ambiguous circumstances, distilling market opportunities to a clear set of objectives and solutions, and articulating the value of those solutions both internally and externally.

In a typical week, a product manager could expect to:

• Spend several days on site with users, seeking to understand how users across a variety of accounts utilize Ark to relieve pain points and triangulate the commonalities to build new, valuable workflows in the Ark.
• Draft a clear and compelling articulation of customer problems, and what a good solution to those problems would look like in the Ark.
• Partner with the sales team to help assess opportunities and understand the degree to which customer requirements align with product capabilities and roadmap
• Define how those solutions deliver value across a wide range of customer environments and determine what features are necessary to support broad adoption of the solution.
• Collaborate with engineering and design teams to deliver the most promising capabilities.

This is a full-time team member position, working in the office at our Arlington, VA, location. This role may require up to 40% travel.

• Facilitate market introduction of new features/functions while balancing tradeoffs of risk, cost, and speed
• Ensure smooth integration of prototyped features/functions into Ark for utilization across customer accounts

Qualifications
