Role Summary

We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to support our client at the International Affairs Program in defining the future state of AI-enabled wildlife permitting, trade-data, conservation and knowledge-management capabilities.

The Senior Product Manager will work closely with Government program, technical, legal, scientific and data SMEs to define product vision, prioritize use cases, translate mission needs into build-ready requirements and guide modernization planning for the WARP and IDEAS platforms.

• Help identify and prioritize AI/GenAI and agentic use cases.
• Guide development of a comprehensive Product Requirements Document and technical specifications.

• Coordinate requirements across WARP, IDEAS, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB and related data products.

Our Profile

We are an IT company with a unique mission—make people the center of every federal IT solution. Our technologists have always gone the extra mile to help our federal clients succeed. And over the years, we saw a growing disconnect in how federal IT initiatives were built and managed. Time after time, programs failed because the focus was on the tools and products and not the people using them.
