Principal, Product Manager (Remote)

Accuris is the world's leading provider of engineering and supply chain intelligence, and they are seeking a Principal Product Manager to own the end-to-end product strategy for their Haystack Gold platform. This role involves leading a team of Product Managers, driving product discovery, and aligning product strategies with customer needs in the defense and government sectors.

Responsibilities:

• Define and own the multi-year product vision and roadmap for Haystack Gold, aligned to business growth targets and the needs of defense, government, and A&D customers
• Translate deep market and customer insight into a prioritized, outcome-oriented backlog that balances new capability development, platform sustainability, and compliance requirements
• Drive product discovery — customer interviews, competitive analysis, market sizing, and win/loss reviews — to continuously sharpen the product strategy
• Own the product operating model end-to-end: vision, OKRs, roadmap, discovery, delivery, and go-to-market alignment
• Lead, coach, and grow a team of Product Managers, establishing clear expectations for product craft, rigor, and accountability
• Build a culture of customer-centricity: instill structured discovery habits, hypothesis-driven development, and outcome-over-output thinking across the PM team
• Develop PM capabilities in defense and government domain knowledge — from understanding NSN/CAGE/FSC systems and DLA procurement cycles to ITAR compliance considerations
• Run regular cadences (roadmap reviews, retrospectives, 1:1s) that keep the team aligned, growing, and performing
• Partner with Sales, Solutions, and Marketing to shape go-to-market strategy, pricing, and packaging for defense-sector customers
• Work closely with Engineering and Data to maintain a clear and healthy development pipeline that delivers value on a predictable cadence
• Present roadmap, strategy, and performance to executive stakeholders with clarity and confidence
• Represent the voice of the customer in all product decisions, ensuring the needs of procurement professionals, program managers, engineers, and logistics teams are well understood and acted upon

Requirements:

• 8+ years of product management experience, including at least 2 years managing or mentoring other PMs
• Demonstrated expertise in the product operating model: you can run discovery, articulate strategy, write compelling opportunity statements, and hold a team accountable to outcomes
• Experience with B2B data or intelligence products — you understand data quality, coverage, and integration workflows as product problems
• Proven ability to synthesize complex market dynamics into a sharp, defensible product strategy
• Strong communication skills; comfortable presenting to senior executives and engaging directly with customers and prospects
• Experience in or deep familiarity with the government, military, or aerospace & defense supply chain sector — including knowledge of NSNs, CAGE codes, FSC, DLA systems, or federal procurement processes
• Background working with defense contractors, OEMs, or government agencies on parts management, obsolescence, or logistics programs
• Understanding of regulatory and compliance requirements relevant to defense supply chains (e.g., ITAR, DFARS, QPL/QML)
• Experience building or scaling a PM practice — introducing frameworks, rituals, and standards that elevate the team's output
