Senior Product & Delivery Manager

Agile Six Applications

About The Position

Agile Six is looking for a Technical Product and Delivery Manager to join our agile team supporting the SimplerGrants modernization effort and the CommonGrants data standard. This role blends product ownership with delivery leadership: managing the roadmap and backlog for CommonGrants and SimplerGrants reporting/automation, translating program goals into clear priorities, and driving execution through strong sprint planning and agile cadence. You’ll coordinate across HHS and multiple vendors, manage internal and external stakeholder relationships (including prospective adopters and open-source contributors), and keep progress, risks, dependencies, and program health visible and on track. We’re looking for someone collaborative, organized, and technically fluent — able to navigate a complex ecosystem, make pragmatic tradeoffs, and advance sustainable, accessible outcomes that support adoption of the CommonGrants standard. The work we do is largely open source and publicly available on GitHub. You can explore the CommonGrants repository and CommonGrants.org to learn more.
