This role partners closely with Product Owners, Workstream Leads, vendors, and IT teams to shape the product vision into actionable delivery.
As the DMV transitions toward a product-oriented operating model over the next 18 months, this role will help build the foundation of effective delivery routines, cross-team integration, and vendor accountability that will enable long-term success. This role works closely with Product Owners, Program Leadership, SMEs, IT teams, and vendor partners to support effective product delivery and modernization outcomes.
