[Remote] Senior Director, Technical Product Management

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. GE Aerospace’s Digital Technology organization supports the Defense & Systems business by leading product management across its Defense and Systems Customer Experience portfolio. The Senior Director will establish the product operating model, oversee product roadmaps and outcome governance, and lead and develop product managers and UX designers.

Responsibilities

• Own the product roadmap standard used across all DSCX product areas, so roadmaps are consistent and comparable across teams

• Drive feature development one to two quarters ahead and story development one to two sprints ahead, in partnership with Software Engineering
• Define KPIs, success metrics, and OKRs for each product
• Run Daily Visual Management for the portfolio. Product health, delivery status, and blockers are visible daily rather than assembled monthly, and you own the KPIs that roll into the monthly operating review
• Hold the team accountable for measurable outcomes, not feature counts. Every shipped capability needs an answer to what it moved

• Maintain a log of open asks and decisions needed from the business, and drive each to closure
• Lead, coach, and develop the product management and UX team; own hiring, performance management, and talent development
• Set the standard for product craft: discovery, roadmap management, INVEST-quality stories, and outcome accountability
• Build a bench of product talent and a culture of continuous improvement using FLIGHT DECK, the GE Aerospace lean operating model, latest AI technology, industry product best practices, and user-centric design
