What you'll be doing:
• Partner with Product Managers and engineering teams to plan, prioritize, and deliver high-quality software on schedule

• Help break down product initiatives into actionable, well-scoped work for engineering teams
• Collaborate with Product Owners on roadmap planning, backlog prioritization, and release planning
• Coordinate across teams in the broader VA.gov ecosystem to manage dependencies and keep efforts aligned
• Write clear reports and updates that communicate the value the team is delivering to clients and leadership

What you’ll bring:

• Familiarity with VA.gov platform conventions or similar federal digital services is a plus
• Strong facilitation skills — you can run a room, keep things moving, and bring out the best in a team
• Ability to work across disciplines, translating between technical teams and non-technical stakeholders
• Comfort with ambiguity — you know how to create structure and clarity without having all the answers upfront
• Experience with project and collaboration tools such as Jira and Confluence
• Thrives in a remote, collaborative environment and genuinely enjoys working closely with a cross-functional team
• Communicates clearly and openly, whether writing a status report, running a retro, or escalating a blocker
