Job summary

Citian in Washington, DC is seeking a Product Manager to lead ADAPT, our roadway and right-of-way asset management platform for public agencies. You will own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap while collaborating with engineering, design, data science, and go-to-market teams to deliver features that drive adoption and customer value.

The role emphasizes data-driven decision making, AI/ML integration, and building for non-technical users at scale in a startup-like environment.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of product management experience, ideally in SaaS or GovTech
• Shipped customer-facing AI or LLM features to production, and can explain how quality was defined and measured
• Owned the roadmap for a growing product, including trade-offs between new features and investment in scalability, reliability and quality
• Experience with complex data, analytics, or AI/ML products and GovTech or another complex domain (healthcare, finance, security, etc.)
• Strong understanding of user workflows and building for non-technical users at scale
• Ability to translate complex problems or client requirements into simple solutions
• Data-driven mindset with experience defining and tracking product metrics
• Comfortable in a startup-style setting with lightweight structure; will help build the product function as it matures
• Proven ability to work cross-functionally with engineering and product teams and influence without authority
• Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Responsibilities

• Define and own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for both products, including deciding what not to build and when to invest in scalability and quality over new features.
• Partner with design and engineering to deliver intuitive, high-quality user experiences
• Work with data science to define what good data and model output looks like, and how we measure it.
• For the AI product: find where AI genuinely helps agencies, validate it with customers before building, and decide with engineering when a feature is ready to ship.
• Work with engineering and data science to set the quality bar for AI features: what a correct answer is, when the product should say it can’t answer, and how quality is tracked in production.
• Develop features that leverage automation and AI to reduce manual effort and improve outcomes
• Work closely with existing clients to understand their pain points and validate solutions
• Bring enterprise needs into the roadmap: reliability, security, permissions, and administration for larger agency customers.
• Collaborate with go-to-market teams to drive successful launches and adoption
