[Hiring] Product Manager @Phoenix Oversight Group LLC

Role Description

We are hiring a Product Manager for the modernization of the VA Loan Guaranty (LGY) technology portfolio. The job is translation under pressure: statute, policy, and a sprawling stakeholder ecosystem on one side, a backlog that ships to production every 30 days on the other, while a 20-year-old legacy platform keeps running until the modern one replaces it.

If you can hold the Veteran, the lender, and the regulation in your head at the same time, keep reading.

What You'll Own

• The backlog as an instrument of the mission.
• Intake to executable plan, fast.
• The roadmap across the portfolio.
• A stakeholder ecosystem, not a stakeholder.
• Value in every release.
• The configure-versus-customize conversation.
• Decisions informed by data.
• The transition experience.

AI-Native Product Management

AI is part of how PhoenixTeam works, and product management may have more to gain from it than any other discipline on the program.

• Use AI tools as a working part of your practice.
• Understand the security, data, privacy, and authorization boundaries governing where and how AI can be used.

What Great Looks Like

• Intake is fast and trusted.
• Requirements stopped causing rework.
• Every release has a headline.
• UAT is uneventful.
• The roadmap is the plan of record.
• AI is visibly part of your practice.

Qualifications

• A product management record on complex enterprise software.
• Housing finance domain fluency.
• Requirements craft.
• Federal delivery experience.
• Stakeholder range.
• Evidence-driven prioritization.
• Demonstrated AI-in-the-loop practice.
• Judgment under ambiguity.
• U.S.-based, and able to obtain and maintain a federal Public Trust clearance.

Helpful, Not Required

• Direct experience with VA Loan Guaranty, VALERI, or other VA benefit programs.
• FHA, USDA rural housing, or GSE experience, or lender and servicer operations on the commercial side.
• Product work on Salesforce or a comparable configuration-first platform.
• Familiarity with MISMO, URLA, Jira and Confluence, or scaled agile.

Leadership Expectations

This role leads through the product. You set direction that architecture, engineering, and the customer align around, present recommendations to federal decision-makers with evidence, and challenge direction that will hurt the program or the Veteran, respectfully and early.

This May Not Be the Role for You If...

You may struggle here if you need someone else to translate policy into requirements, treat product management as ticket administration, avoid telling stakeholders no, wait for complete information before committing, treat compliance as friction rather than product requirements, view AI as a novelty, or stopped learning when you became senior.

Why PhoenixTeam

• You will be among people who speak your language.
• Direct customer access.
• You shape the product, not just the backlog.
• AI-native is practice, not positioning.
• Fully remote, U.S.-based, permanently.
• Competitive salary and 100% employer-paid medical insurance.
• Mission you can explain at dinner.

Position Requirements

• Full-time W-2 employment with PhoenixTeam.
• Must be based in the United States.
• Fully remote.
• Work supports the Department of Veterans Affairs Loan Guaranty Service (LGY).
• Must be able to obtain and maintain the required federal Public Trust clearance.
