Director of Product - Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul

Arlington, Virginia, United States

Company Description

Govini transforms Defense Acquisition from an outdated manual process to a software-driven strategic advantage for the United States. Our flagship product, Ark, supports Supply Chain, Science & Technology, Production, Sustainment, Logistics, and Modernization teams with AI-enabled Applications and best-in-class data to more rapidly imagine, develop, and field the capabilities we need. Today, the national security community and every branch of the military rely on Govini to enable faster and more informed Acquisition decisions.

Job Description

We are seeking a product leader to build out and deliver against a roadmap for Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) capabilities. This is an individual contributor role responsible for prioritizing, rationalizing, and integrating existing prototypes and new functionality into Ark. As the product owner, you are accountable for delivering valuable and differentiated solutions at scale, end-to-end, within our Ark platform.  

As the MRO PM you will be responsible for thinking broadly across the communities we serve and delivering solutions that provide value to a wide range of customers. You partner other PMs, Product Design, Engineering, Data Science, AI/ML, Marketing, Sales, and Implementation teams, to broadly scale “in-the-field” solutions and improve the configurability and adaptability of our platform. You should be highly motivated by the delivery of value to our end users and market adoption of the solutions you successfully launch. 

In order to do this job well, you must possess exceptional judgment when it comes to identifying opportunities to deliver customer value in a productized way, as well as in the relative prioritization of those opportunities. You must work effectively cross-functionally in often ambiguous circumstances, distilling market opportunities to a clear set of objectives and solutions, and articulating the value of those solutions both internally and externally. 

In a typical week, you could expect to:
  • Spend several days on site with users, seeking to understand how users across a variety of accounts try to complete their day-to-day jobs, identify pain points,  and triangulate the commonalities to build new valuable workflows in the Ark.
  • Draft clear and compelling articulation of customer problems, and what a good solution to those problems would look like in the Ark.
  • Partner with the sales team to help assess opportunities and understand the degree to which customer requirements align with product capabilities and roadmap.
  • Define how those solutions deliver value across a wide range of customer environments and determine what features are necessary to support broad adoption of the solution.
  • Collaborate with engineering and design teams to deliver the most promising capabilities.
This is a full-time team member position, working in the office at our Arlington, VA location.
This role may require up to 50% travel.

Scope of Responsibilities

  • For new product features, define the addressable market size, the competitive landscape, the near-term sales opportunities, and alignment with the overall product strategy
  • Validate concepts using qualitative and quantitative data, build a comprehensive business case, and communicate and defend the prioritization internally
  • Partner with internal engineering and data science teams to scope the expected associated investment costs/timelines, and ensure that the business can deliver on scope, contractual obligations, and agreed-upon timelines
  • Facilitate market introduction of new features/functions while balancing tradeoffs of risk, cost, and speed
  • Ensure smooth integration of prototyped features/functions into Ark for utilization across customer accounts
  • Establish KPIs and monitor product performance and user adoption, driving continuous improvement initiatives

Qualifications

  • U.S. Citizenship is required
Required Skills: 
  • 5-7+ years in a product or software role, including experience with enterprise software (B2B or B2G)
  • Strong value orientation, understanding of what matters for our customers, and why
  • Self-starter, owner mentality
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic work environment
  • Exceptional written and oral communication skills across all levels of the business
  • Bachelor’s degree in business or a technology-related field

Desired Skills: 

  • Current possession of a U.S. security clearance, or the ability to obtain one with our sponsorship
  • Experience in or exposure to the nuances of a startup or other entrepreneurial environment
  • Experience in or around DoD
  • Experience working in Defense and/or Commercial MRO
  • Full product lifecycle experience, from early idea through production and maintenance 
  • We firmly believe that past performance is the best indicator of future performance.  If you thrive while building solutions to complex problems, are a self-starter, and are passionate about making an impact in global security, we’re eager to hear from you.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
