Description

Assured Information Security (AIS) is seeking a SME AI Product Manager to join our Mission Services team. In this role, you will provide strategic and operational guidance to teams building AI enabled solutions. We're looking for an experienced, product focused professional who can shape priorities, align stakeholders, drive disciplined execution, and ensure technical efforts stay centered on mission value.

While this role does not require a software engineering background, strong technical fluency and AI literacy are essential to engage effectively with engineers, data scientists, platform teams, and government leaders. The ideal candidate can translate mission needs into actionable plans, keep complex efforts on track, and recognize when programs are diverging from meaningful outcomes.

  • This is an onsite position located in Columbia, MD and requires a TS/SCI w/CI Poly*

What You'll Do:

  • Provide SETA advisory support to government leadership and technical teams on Al product strategy, planning, and execution.
  • Help define and refine Al use cases, product goals, success criteria, priorities, and delivery roadmaps.
  • Guide teams in aligning Al solution development with mission outcomes, user needs, operational constraints, and program objectives.
  • Monitor effort execution and help keep teams on track with milestones, dependencies, risks, and decision points.
  • Support requirements development, backlog shaping, capability prioritization, and stakeholder coordination.
  • Translate between technical teams and non-technical leadership, ensuring shared understanding of what is being built, why it matters, and what risks exist.
  • Advise on Al adoption challenges, including scope control, change management, user trust, operational fit, and realistic implementation sequencing.
  • Review proposed Al solutions for feasibility, mission relevance, and alignment with available resources and timelines.
  • Support briefings, planning artifacts, concept papers, product documentation, and executive communications.
  • Help identify when teams need course correction, sharper problem framing, better metrics, or more disciplined execution.
  • Actively study the AI landscape, learn continuously, and bring informed perspective to a fast-changing field.

Education/Experience/Skillset Required:

  • Bachelor's degree in business, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field with 18 years of relevant experience, or a Master's degree with 15 years of relevant experience.
  • Experience in product management, technical program support, capability delivery, or requirements management in a government, defense, or complex enterprise environment.
  • Demonstrated ability to work with technical teams building software, data, Al, or digital solutions.
  • Strong understanding of product lifecycle concepts, roadmap planning, prioritization, stakeholder management, and execution tracking.
  • Familiarity with Al concepts, terminology, current capabilities, and practical implementation challenges.
  • Ability to advise leadership while also engaging productively with engineers and solution teams.

What Sets You Apart:

  • Experience supporting Al, data, analytics, or software modernization efforts.
  • Familiarity with Agile, SAFe, DevSecOps, or iterative capability delivery models.
  • Ability to understand technical topics such as LLMs, Al tools, cloud platforms, agentic workflows, evaluation, and data dependencies without needing to be a hands-on developer.
  • Experience in defense, cyber, or operational mission environments.
  • Background in technology strategy, innovation support, requirements development, or portfolio management.
