About The Position

LMI is seeking a Technical Product Manager to lead a secure cloud platform supporting Department of War mission partners.

The Product Manager owns the product vision, roadmap, backlog, user experience priorities, and delivery of platform capabilities that meet mission needs. This product-focused leadership role requires a technical background and demonstrated AWS GovCloud experience. The Product Manager works directly with government users, platform engineers, software developers, designers, and cybersecurity personnel to prioritize work, resolve dependencies, and deliver usable capabilities. Limited team administration, including timesheet approval and basic personnel management, supports the primary product responsibilities.
