About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Serve as the connective tissue between technical execution and mission impact, translating complex DevSecOps, platform engineering, and digital transformation concepts into compelling, actionable content and product experiences.
Partner with open source software (OSS) communities and contributors to shape tooling, content distribution, and platform integrations that amplify Mission OS's reach and impact.
Drive continuous delivery of the Mission OS product — including the video series, workbook, marketing campaign, and live event strategy — applying lean product methodologies to optimize each release cycle.
Own and evolve the product vision and strategy in collaboration with Rise8 leadership, content creators, marketing partners, and government stakeholders.
Facilitate productive workshops and discovery sessions with subject matter experts, clients, and community members to extract insights and validate product direction.
Actively embed with cross-functional teams — including developers, designers, content strategists, and government partners — modeling the balanced team practices central to the Mission OS curriculum.
Assist clients and government change agents in adopting Mission OS principles, acting as both a product leader and a hands-on transformation practitioner.
Apply the Improvement Kata and other Mission OS frameworks to your own work, continuously measuring outcomes and iterating based on evidence from production.

Proven ability to lead and mentor balanced, cross-functional teams across product, design, and engineering disciplines.
Exceptional communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to distill technical complexity into clear narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences.
Strong facilitation skills for leading workshops, discovery sessions, and cross-functional alignment activities.
A deep passion for continuous skill development and a desire to tackle intriguing challenges and complex problems.
Ability to obtain a security clearance for US Government work.
