Product Manager

The Product Manager (PM) will play a pivotal role in the implementation of a new Document Management System (DMS) across the Dutch Ministry of Defense as part of the Defensie Open op Orde (DOO) program. This initiative aims to enhance information management practices, ensuring that information is accurate, complete, current, discoverable, and accessible. The PM will be responsible for developing and managing the product vision and strategy, leading the release planning to deliver valuable products aligned with strategic goals and functional domain architecture. In this role, the PM will translate information management policies, program objectives, user needs, and rollout strategies into a cohesive product vision and roadmap. Working closely with Product Owners, the PM will guide the backlog management and product development process. The PM will also coordinate with various stakeholders at the management level to ensure the roadmap is effectively translated into a release plan, managing interests and preventing misdirection as critical success factors. The PM will report to the DefDoc program manager and collaborate with the DefDoc implementation project manager to synchronize product development with the broader rollout across the defense organization. This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a significant modernization initiative within a large governmental organization, enhancing the maturity of information management practices across the defense sector.
