Overview

DecisionPoint seeks a Technical Product Experience Manager to ensure Military Community and Family Policy (MC&FP) products are useful, usable, feasible, accessible, testable, and aligned to the intended experience before they move through delivery. The role supports the Service Design & Experience team under the MODES III contract. This role serves as a critical integration point between user and service experience strategy and technical product delivery, helping translate research, design intent, stakeholder needs, and business requirements into actionable product requirements and measurable digital experiences.

Working under the Strategic Design and Experience Lead (SDEL), the Technical Product Experience Manager collaborates across Task 2 Outreach and Engagement and Task 3 IT, Cybersecurity, and Data Operations to maintain alignment between experience objectives and technical execution. The role works closely with UX researchers and designers, experience strategists, architects, product and development teams, QA/test personnel, data and analytics teams, and Government stakeholders throughout the product lifecycle.

The Technical Product Experience Manager supports product visioning and roadmapping, requirements definition, backlog refinement, user stories and acceptance criteria, design-to-development handoffs, release readiness, and post-release evaluation. The role brings sufficient technical experience to understand software delivery, system dependencies, integration considerations, and implementation tradeoffs while maintaining a strong focus on user needs and desired experience outcomes.

Accessibility and inclusive design are embedded throughout this role. The Technical Product Experience Manager ensures Section 508, WCAG, usability, responsive design, and other experience-quality requirements are incorporated early into product definition and acceptance criteria rather than treated solely as downstream compliance activities.

This position is fully remote.

• Collaborate with usability and QA/test teams to validate product functionality, experience quality, accessibility, and conformance with documented requirements before release.
• Use user feedback, usability findings, product analytics, digital performance measures, customer-support insights, and other available data to identify opportunities for product optimization and continuous improvement.
• Maintain product and experience documentation needed to support decision-making, requirements traceability, knowledge transfer, and continuity across Task 2 and Task 3 teams.
• Provide the SDEL with clear assessments of product status, experience risks, unresolved design or implementation decisions, and issues requiring design-authority direction.
