Senior Product Manager (Intuitial)

Intuitial is a people-first, remote-friendly digital services company serving shoulder-to-shoulder with U.S. federal agencies to deliver innovative, human-centered solutions. We build modern, secure products the right way: with empowered teams, strong delivery discipline, and deep respect for the people who use—and operate—what we ship.

We’re guided by values like Kindness, Grit, Growth Mindset, and Radical Candor, and we aim to create a culture where people can do their best work with trust, autonomy, and support. We value clear communication, healthy collaboration, and continuous learning—because mission impact and excellent engineering both come from teams who feel safe, accountable, and energized.

Our work spans human-centered design, agile delivery, mobile and cloud-native engineering, and practical, responsible use of AI. We’re here to help government services work better for the public—and we believe that starts by building an environment where our teammates can thrive.

Intuitial is looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead a cross-functional agile team supporting the Department of Veterans Affairs' Travel Pay product. The role sits within Intuitial Six, Intuitial's joint venture delivering a larger VA program serving Veterans. This role owns both product and delivery for the team: running the team's agile practice, managing the roadmap and backlog, coordinating releases with other VA teams, and keeping work moving when priorities shift. The Senior Product Manager will present upcoming and completed work to stakeholders and lead working sessions across teams.

We look for Product Managers who lead with confidence and bring structure to a team, and who also embrace empowerment and a growth mindset. If you care deeply not just about your own aptitude, but about supporting others' growth, we'd love to hear from you. We look for people who are both tactical and strategic, and who are energized by delivering in complex environments with many moving parts. Most importantly, we look for folks who are passionate about solving problems that impact millions of users. We are here to make a difference in government, and Product Managers are the primary champions of our cause!

The current contract period ends February 16, 2027. We expect VA to extend the work through June 2027, ahead of a planned recompete. These plans have not been finalized, and the timeline is subject to change. We welcome questions and will share what we know as transparently as we can throughout the hiring process.

• Discovery
  • Partner with UX research and design on the team to understand users and prioritize the needs that deliver the most value

• Able to start within 2 to 4 weeks of an offer. The team is working against near-term deadlines, so we’re looking for someone who can join and ramp up quickly.

• Experience working with government agencies. Familiarity with VA OIT or a similar federal IT environment, including platform governance processes such as VA's collaboration cycle, is a strong plus
• Experience using AI-powered prototyping tools or IDEs (such as Vercel V0, Lovable, Replit, Copilot, or Cursor) or enabling technologies such as MCP servers to prototype solutions and support delivery, retaining oversight over all work produced
• You are a U.S. Veteran. As a service-disabled veteran-owned small business, Intuitial recognizes the transition to civilian life can be tricky, and welcomes and encourages Veterans to apply.
