About The Position

The Boeing Company is looking for an Experienced Product Manager to be the interface between key stakeholders and the Battlespace & Simulation Management (BSM) agile software engineering organization in Hazelwood, MO. This role will support a proprietary program as well as other platforms in the GVHMS portfolio within the Boeing Global Services (BGS) organization. You will be responsible for managing the entire product life cycle. Your role includes project management, earned value management (EVM), performance monitoring, business analysis and scrum master. You will be collaborating with software engineering teams and the program to maintain a common vision and deliver winning products. To be successful as a product manager in this role, you must possess strong communication and presentation skills and have a firm grasp of agile practices and possess the ability to effectively manage and mentor development teams. An outstanding product manager should have excellent interpersonal, project management, and problem-solving skills. The ideal candidate for this role is highly motivated and inspired by our mission to train our warfighter, demonstrating a strong sense of purpose and commitment. They bring grit and determination to navigate the challenges and fast-paced environment inherent to this position. Taking pride in their work, they set high expectations for themselves and hold themselves accountable for delivering quality results. Energized by curiosity, they seek creative solutions to new situations and are ambitious self-starters who thrive with minimal direction. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is a collaborative mindset that fosters teamwork and partnership across diverse groups. These qualities ensure the candidate can effectively manage the product lifecycle while maintaining alignment with stakeholders and agile software teams. The BSM team is a large software development team comprised of several smaller agile teams, some with specialized skills. Our backlog includes everything from new feature development using cutting-edge technology to maintenance of legacy software baselines. The successful candidate will need to be comfortable working in an often fast-paced environment within a two-week "sprint" schedule. BSM is responsible for the design, development, manufacture, and maintenance of training devices for a wide variety of commercial and military aircraft - everything from F-15 fighter jets to Apache attack helicopters, and even NASA's Starliner spacecraft. Software engineers on our team are responsible for all phases of the software lifecycle, including architecture, design, implementation and test. They are also directly involved in planning their own work, as part of the agile methodology, with a focus on technical excellence. This position is expected to be 100% onsite. The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at one of the listed location options.
