We're looking for a Product Manager (Data Warehouse) with an unwavering passion for designing secure, easy-to-use applications. Most of the work we do is on large-scale, enterprise-wide systems (both commercial and government)-this project includes the development and maintenance of a data warehouse system which supports the management and oversight of a large federal agency.
At Flexion (an agile software company that's been delivering excellence for over 24 years), our company culture is built on autonomy, trust, and transparency. We empower teams to remain autonomous and self-directed by hiring people who can solve complex problems by functioning collaboratively-this means lending a hand and flexing your multi-skilled muscles (business application software engineering, database engineering, DevOps, security engineering, etc.) as needed. Every member within a cross-functional team is a leader who takes responsibility for the entire team's success, which mirrors the company's overall flat structure.
What the job looks like:
You'll be part of a multi-disciplinary, agile application development team tasked with building out a data warehouse and console for self service. The project work is primarily remote but may require some client on-site work estimated at < 10%.
Support the team as a servant leader
Consulting with stakeholders to recommend solutions and provide them with the information they need to make strategic product decisions via 1-pagers/PRDs (product requirements documentation)
Writing user stories that describe the requirements necessary to complete the work, and user acceptance testing to confirm the work was done right.
Track dependencies across the organization.
Advocate for eventual customers of the data warehouse.
Maintain an updated team roadmap based on quarterly goals, priorities and performance metrics
Building outcome-based product radars to guide outreach and digital experience team roadmaps
Translating product goals into a data analysis and communication strategy that is accessible to both business and technical audiences
Developing strategies to find and derive information to improve user experiences
Understanding government security and compliance hurdles
Developing strategies to communicate the business value of the team's work and success in meeting the product goals
Working with stakeholders in a way that garners trust and facilitates prioritization and decision-making
Collaborate with stakeholders to understand needs, constraints, risk, and alignment with organizational strategy and priorities
Fostering a shared understanding of the product throughout the product development team and the broader organization through the creation of user stories and other supporting documents
Work closely with the Product Owner to ensure the product and the backlog are managed in a high-quality, agile manner
Ensure stories are well-defined and work with the Product Owner to ensure high-quality stories
Help the Product Owner and Development Team have a Product Mindset (self-funding frame of mind)
Coach the Development Team in Scrum, self-organization, cross-functionality, and small vertical slices, as necessary
Why we want to hire you:
