  • Define and track key product metrics, ensuring the solution delivers measurable value for customers.
  • Drive continuous improvement by gathering user feedback and iterating on the product.

Go-to-Market Activities:

  • Work closely with marketing and sales teams to develop effective GTM strategies for the data curation pipeline.
  • Create compelling product messaging, positioning, and collateral to communicate the value of the solution to customers.
  • Support pre-sales and post-sales efforts by providing product expertise and addressing customer questions.

Government Contracting Knowledge:

  • Apply knowledge of Department of Defense contract mechanisms, such as OTAs (Other Transaction Authorities), SBIR/STTR programs, IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity) contracts, and procurement processes.
  • Ensure product development aligns with compliance requirements and standards specific to DoD contracts and funding mechanisms.
  • Collaborate with legal, procurement, and compliance teams to support government contracting efforts.

Here's what you'll need:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field; or equivalent experience.
  • 8+ years of experience as a Product Owner, Product Manager, or similar role; preferably in AI, machine learning, or data-centric products.
  • Strong understanding of computer vision concepts, machine learning workflows, and data curation processes.
