Full Job Description
About the role

Product Strategy

  • Own the product vision and roadmap for Integer's defense software product portfolio, particularly the DIGIT solution set, with a clear point of view on where the market is going and how our products should get there first
  • Work closely with the CSO and BD to understand the pursuit pipeline and ensure product capabilities are positioned ahead of upcoming bids and customer conversations
  • Translate mission requirements, from both internal stakeholders and external customers, into a prioritized, executable roadmap that engineering can build with confidence
  • Define what success looks like for each product area and establish the metrics to measure it
  • Own the product pricing model and strategy over time

External Engagement

  • Engage directly with customers and government stakeholders to gather requirements, validate direction, and build product credibility in the field
  • Partner with BD to support captures and proposals where product knowledge and positioning matter
  • Serve as a product spokesperson who can walk a customer through capability gaps, roadmap direction, and integration considerations without needing a translator

Internal Leadership

  • Serve as the primary product interface to the VP of Mission Solutions, treating their team as your most important internal customer and ensuring their operational needs drive product priorities
  • Facilitate alignment across engineering, strategy, and mission delivery on scope, priority, and release timing
  • Communicate roadmap status, tradeoffs, and risks clearly to senior leadership

Product Execution

  • Drive the full product lifecycle, from discovery and requirements through delivery, release, and adoption
  • Partner with engineering to define MVPs, protect scope, and maintain velocity without sacrificing quality
  • Ensure every release is accompanied by the context, documentation, and enablement that mission delivery teams need to put it to use

Platform Growth

  • Think beyond today's scope. Identify where the portfolio should expand, what adjacent capabilities matter, and how to build for a larger user base over time
  • Establish product processes and feedback loops that scale as the portfolio and the team grow


Qualifications

Required Qualifications

  • 5-8 years of product management experience, with a track record of owning complex software products from concept through customer delivery
  • A genuinely strategic mindset. I.e. you think about markets, positioning, and customer problems, not just features and sprint cycles
  • Experience engaging external defense customers and end users directly, including gathering requirements, presenting roadmaps, building trust
  • Ability to work fluidly across BD, strategy, engineering, and operations without losing the thread
  • Strong communicator-crisp in writing, credible in the room, effective with both technical teams and senior leaders
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and defining structure where it doesn't exist
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Systems, Business, or a related field

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in defense, aerospace, or government contracting, including understanding of how programs are structured, funded, and won
  • Familiarity with unmanned systems, shipboard systems, or command and control software
  • Background in commercial software product management with the instincts to apply those practices to mission environments
  • Experience supporting BD efforts, including shaping product narratives for proposals, participating in customer engagements, contributing to capture strategy
  • Exposure to IRAD or internal product development in a govcon context

Compensation and Benefits

  • Base salary which exceeds local & national industry averages.
  • Integer fully covers medical, prescription, vision, and dental insurance costs for the employee and dependents. Integer's standard plan pays 100% of health insurance premiums for your entire family from a well-known national insurer, saving employees thousands of dollars annually.

  • Paid vacation.
  • Paid sick leave.
  • Paid holidays.
  • Relocation assistance available.


Company Perks

  • Startup culture with the stability of a large company. Integer's business plan has years of time phased contracted work, alleviating the would-be risk from a traditional small company.
  • Direct access to company leadership, prioritization of people over process, and a stellar team with a shared desire for personal and professional growth.
  • Friendly atmosphere where people enjoy not only their work and what they are creating but enjoy helping each other as well.
  • Bottomless coffee.
