Forward Deployed Product Manager, Public SectorActive$46K–$183K

The opportunity

Scale is accelerating the development of AI across the world's most important organizations, including the U. S.

What you'll do

  • Own product outcomes across Scale's military planning portfolio and/or its: highest-impact national security accounts for LUX, spanning multiple DoW and National Security stakeholders and use cases. You are the accountable PM for product delivery and customer value.

  • Translate operational reality into high-signal product input for engineering: and platform teams — specific, evidence-backed product perspective with tradeoffs articulated, not requirements docs. This includes military planning workflows (e.g., the Joint Planning Process) and modeling/simulation requirements (e.g., AFSIM), as well as real customer workflows, latency/throughput constraints, and mission priorities for LUX.

  • Build trusted advisory relationships with senior military leaders: (flag/general officer and senior civilian equivalents), National Security customer stakeholders, and senior technical leads. Become the reliable escalation point on the Scale side before issues surface externally.

  • Drive deployments from contract to production inside classified and: operationally constrained environments — whether that means military planning workflows or LUX's low-latency, high-throughput, mission-critical data systems. You know what "production-ready" means inside DoW, and you close the gap.

  • Distinguish where the product is the constraint from where execution,: integration, policy, or change management is the constraint. Drive each type of blocker to resolution through the right channel.

  • Shape a cross-cutting set of solutions spanning multiple stakeholders,: echelons, and use cases, rather than owning a single point deployment.

What they're looking for

  • Partner closely with Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) teams and Platform: Capability teams so the account runs as a coordinated team, not a set of parallel workstreams.
  • Identify and develop expansion opportunities grounded in demonstrated customer value.
  • Represent customer reality to the platform and leadership with enough credibility that it changes decisions.
  • Balance competing requirements across CCMDs and service components that must: collaborate despite differing needs — distinct from building for a single customer.
