Job Description Summary
As part of the GE Aerospace Digital Technology organization supporting the Defense & Systems (D&S) business, the Senior Director, Technical Product Management leads product management across the Defense and Systems Customer Experience (DSCX) portfolio. This is a people-leadership role covering capture management, government pricing, systems pricing, contracts, government property, government business, and the sustainment and fleet analytics portfolio. This person will own the product operating model: the roadmap standard, the prioritization framework, and outcome governance. This person will lead the technical product managers and UX designers who set direction, translate business outcomes into prioritized backlogs, and partner with Engineering to ship capabilities that move measurable results across Federal and commercial markets.Job Description
Why This Role Exists
DSCX owns 30+ digital products for Defense & Systems. Today our technical product managers wear three hats for their products: product management, project management, and operations. We are dividing that load across three dedicated functions, and this role will build out the product management discipline. This role is planned to have 8-10 direct reports across product managers and UX designers. Your charge is to build a sustainable operating model including standard processes and artifacts, a clear prioritization framework, and a team you coach and train to execute against it. You should be experienced with AI and know where it creates opportunity to expand what the team can deliver.
Environment
The DSCX portfolio runs primarily on AWS, Palantir Foundry, or through SaaS based 3rd party solutions, with on-premise implementations supported for customers whose data sensitivity requires it. Delivery runs through Rally and Microsoft Teams and ServiceNow is our system of record for incident, change, and defect management. Monitoring and alerting tooling varies by application across the portfolio, and consolidating it is part of this organization's work. Vulnerability scanning is owned by the Defense & Systems security organization under the Business Information Security Officer (BISO); our teams are accountable for closing what they report inside the severity SLAs the BISO sets.
The portfolio carries a $25+MM annual budget across 30+ products.
Roles and Responsibilities
1. Strategy and Roadmap
- Own the product roadmap standard used across all DSCX product areas, so roadmaps are consistent and comparable across teams.
- Accountable for a two to three year roadmap (including NorthStar vision) for each product and product area.
- Define the prioritization framework (e.g., RICE) each product manager uses to sequence work, and hold its application consistent.
- Drive feature development one to two quarters ahead and story development one to two sprints ahead, in partnership with Software Engineering.
2. Outcomes and Governance
- 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.
3. Technical Product Leadership
- Ensure PRDs and INVEST-quality user stories with clear acceptance criteria across the portfolio.
- Use opportunity solution trees so every roadmap item traces to a business outcome, and require the same of your product managers.
- Partner with Engineering on technical design, sequencing, and delivery within enterprise architecture and data governance standards.
4. Stakeholder and Relationship Management
- Serve as the key product relationship manager for the D&S business, operationalized through a maintained stakeholder map per product area covering who, cadence, and decision rights.
- Run a recurring touchpoint cadence, including monthly business reviews per product line.
- Own the funding and business case pipeline: what has been requested versus approved for each product area.
- Maintain a log of open asks and decisions needed from the business, and drive each to closure.
5. People and Team Leadership
- 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.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree from an accredited university or college with a minimum of 10 years of professional experience, OR Associate's degree with a minimum of 13 years of professional experience, OR High School Diploma with a minimum of 15 years of professional experience.
- Minimum of 7 years of professional experience in Technical Product Management and IT.
- Note: Military experience is equivalent to professional experience.
Eligibility Requirement:
- Legal authorization to work in the U.S. is required. We will not sponsor individuals for employment visas, now or in the future, for this job.
Desired Characteristics
Technical Expertise
- Five or more years leading product managers or product teams, including hiring and performance management.
- Deep expertise in product management for enterprise digital products end to end: discovery, roadmap, backlog, delivery, and value realization.
- Strong knowledge of software design and Agile ways of working (Scrum and Kanban), and fluency partnering with Engineering on technical design and sequencing.
- Proven ownership of a portfolio of products across multiple areas, including the operating model: roadmap standards, prioritization frameworks, and outcome governance.
- Experience with AWS, hybrid cloud and on-premise deployment models, and enterprise SaaS platforms such as Salesforce. Palantir Foundry experience is a strong plus.
Business Acumen
- Breaks down ambiguous problems, documents clear problem statements, and estimates effort credibly.
- Analyzes the impact of technology and sequencing choices on compliance, cost, and efficiency.
- Demonstrates knowledge of the competitive and operational environment in Federal and commercial markets, including how funding and business cases move.
- Familiarity with the compliance environment our products operate in: FAR, DCMA audit readiness, CMMC, CUI, and export control.
Leadership
- Develops people through effective coaching.
- Disagrees with business partners without spending the relationship.
- Sets a high bar and explains the reason behind it.
- Coaches with questions before positions.
- Leads a distributed team on purpose.
Key Success Metrics
- Business value: outcomes realized versus business case; win rate, cycle time, and cost-to-serve improvements across product areas.
- Roadmap health: adherence to committed roadmap and prioritization discipline; feature and story readiness ahead of Engineering.
- Adoption and satisfaction: active user adoption of shipped capabilities; user CSAT and NPS.
- Team and talent: product manager capability growth, retention, and bench strength.
Location and Travel
Location: Cincinnati, OH (Evendale) strongly preferred. You will lead a team that is part hybrid and part fully remote, so a deliberate approach to running distributed product work is part of the job.
Travel: up to 20% for customer discovery, business reviews across Defense and Systems sites including Lynn, Erlanger, Clearwater, Grand Rapids, and Vandalia, and vendor engagement.

Manager, Product Management Jobs in Michigan: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a manager, product management in Michigan?
Most manager, product management roles in Michigan do not require a state-issued license or registration. The typical path starts with a bachelor's degree in business, engineering, or computer science, followed by several years as an individual-contributor product manager building a record of shipped products. Michigan employers, particularly in automotive and healthtech, strongly value domain knowledge, so candidates who move laterally from engineering, UX, or program management roles within those industries often advance faster than those coming from general software backgrounds.
How much do Manager, product managements make in Michigan?
Manager, product managements in Michigan earn a median of about $138,510 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $80,260 for the lowest 10% to over $222,910 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire manager, product managements in Michigan?
Employers hiring manager, product managements in Michigan right now include Haworth, Scout Motors, and Ford Motor Company, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Michigan's deep automotive and mobility ecosystem means many of these openings sit inside connected-vehicle, software-defined-vehicle, or dealer-technology divisions rather than traditional IT departments.
Which Michigan cities have the most manager, product management jobs?
Novi, Holland, and Dearborn have the most manager, product management openings in Michigan. Detroit and its surrounding suburbs drive the largest share because of the global automotive headquarters and the growing mobility-tech corridor, while Ann Arbor's density of university spinouts and healthtech firms sustains consistent demand, and Grand Rapids adds openings through its expanding medical device and manufacturing software companies.
Are there remote manager, product management jobs in Michigan?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 67% of manager, product management openings tied to Michigan are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the desk-based, collaboration-tool-driven nature of the work. Strategic planning, roadmap sessions, and stakeholder reviews adapt well to distributed formats, though roles tied to hardware, manufacturing floor integration, or connected-vehicle testing tend to require on-site presence at Michigan facilities.
How can I get hired as a manager, product management in Michigan with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into an associate product manager role from an adjacent function such as business analyst, UX researcher, or program coordinator. Ford Motor Company, Stellantis, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan each run structured rotational or associate programs that bring in candidates without direct PM titles. Building a portfolio of product cases tied to automotive UX, healthcare workflows, or manufacturing software gives Michigan applicants a concrete edge when competing for these associate-level openings.
Where can I find and apply to manager, product management jobs in Michigan?
You can find and apply to manager, product management jobs in Michigan on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to the state. Search by city, specialty, or company, find roles that fit your background, and apply directly to the ones that match.
