Lead Product Strategy for a Growing Defense Technology Platform
Sabel Systems is seeking a Manager of Product to shape the strategy and delivery of a growing platform product ecosystem supporting digital engineering and mission systems modernization. This leader will guide Product Owners, and develop a Product Owner Community of Practice, while defining platform strategy, and aligning development across multiple Agile Release Trains (ARTs) to deliver scalable, secure solutions for defense and enterprise environments.
Why Sabel Systems
Sabel Systems is a growing defense technology company with deep roots in digital engineering, data-centric architecture, and secure platform delivery for the warfighter. Our teams build and integrate advanced solutions that simplify complexity across the defense lifecycle, enabling government and industry partners to modernize engineering, acquisition, and sustainment operations.
Our work sits at the intersection of platform engineering, secure cloud, digital thread, and mission systems modernization. From enabling digital engineering environments to building interoperable product ecosystems, Sabel is focused on delivering secure, scalable technology that accelerates mission outcomes.
This role offers the opportunity to shape how those platforms evolve. You will collaborate with senior product leaders, engineers, and architects to define how our product ecosystem grows and delivers value across multiple defense programs and commercial solutions.
You will be joining a dynamic and highly motivated team with one shared goal: “Get quality and secure solutions in the customers’ hands as soon as possible.”
Why This Role Matters
The Manager of Product plays a central leadership role in shaping and delivering Sabel’s platform product strategy.
This is not simply backlog management. You will operate as the Solution Manager for Sabel’s product portfolio, responsible for aligning product vision, roadmap, and delivery across multiple ARTs while guiding the Product Owner community that drives day-to-day execution.
You will help define how Sabel’s capabilities evolve across our product ecosystem, ensuring they integrate into a cohesive, scalable platform strategy that supports both internal innovation and mission-driven customer programs.
Working at the intersection of aligning product strategy with engineering execution, and enterprise architecture, you will translate strategic themes into actionable product capabilities, align development backlogs across teams, and ensure platform investments are fit-to-market and deliver measurable value.
If you enjoy operating where strategy meets execution, leading product teams in a fast-moving Agile environment, and shaping platforms that support the development of complex mission systems, this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
