Parsons is looking for an amazingly talented Product Owner to join our team! As a Product Owner, you will play a crucial role in maximizing the value and performance delivered within the FORGE program. The Future Operationally Resilient Ground Evolution System (FORGE) is a program that will utilize the resources and capabilities of both the legacy Space Based-Infrared System (SBIRS) and the Next Generation OPIR system.

In this role, you will develop and maintain a clear and prioritized product backlog that aligns with the strategic objectives of the organization.

You will drive continuous feedback loops that enhance the value stream, actively seeking both quantitative and qualitative feedback to gain a thorough understanding of where solutions are effectively delivering value and where they may fall short. Applying Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) principles will be essential, as will participating in Agile team events such as iteration planning, backlog refinement, iteration reviews, retrospectives, and syncs, providing feedback from a customer-centric perspective. Collaboration with leadership to define and communicate the product roadmap, ensuring alignment with business goals and customer needs, will also be a key part of your role. You will prioritize features in the ART Backlog for optimal economic outcomes and effectively communicate the vision and roadmap during PI Planning to align teams for successful implementation.
