About
the role Aspire builds the infrastructure that makes military license portability work across state lines. We help states turn legislation into operational systems — so veterans, military spouses, and servicemembers can use the professional licenses they've already earned without starting over. As Senior Product Manager, you'll own the end-to-end product strategy for Aspire's platform. You'll work at the intersection of government operations, policy, and technology — translating complex regulatory
requirements into software that licensing boards and agencies actually want to use. This is a high-autonomy role on a small team where your decisions ship fast and impact real people.
What you'll do Product Strategy & Roadmap Define and maintain the product roadmap based on state
requirements, user research, and business objectives. Prioritize ruthlessly across competing demands from multiple state deployments.
Requirements & Discovery Work directly with state agencies, licensing boards, and military community stakeholders to understand workflows, pain points, and regulatory constraints. Translate findings into clear product
requirements. Cross-Functional Leadership Partner with engineering, design, and implementation teams to scope, build, and ship features. Set clear acceptance criteria, manage trade-offs, and unblock
the team. State Deployment Support Support new state launches by configuring platform workflows for each state's unique licensing rules, board structures, and compliance
requirements. User Research & Feedback Build feedback loops with state agency users, applicants, and internal teams. Use qualitative and quantitative data to validate hypotheses and measure feature impact. Stakeholder Communication Communicate product direction to internal teams, state partners, and leadership. Maintain transparency on what's shipping, what's next, and what's being deprioritized. Process & Documentation Establish lightweight product processes that keep a small team moving fast — specs, sprint planning, release notes, and knowledge bases that scale with the company.
What we're looking for Government & Regulatory Products Experience building products that operate within regulatory or compliance frameworks. You understand that government software has constraints that consumer software doesn't — and you design for them. Systems Thinking Ability to map complex multi-stakeholder workflows and identify where software can remove friction. License portability involves boards, agencies, applicants, and legislators — you need to see the whole system. Technical Fluency Comfortable working with engineering teams on architecture decisions, data models, and integration patterns. You don't need to write code, but you need to speak the language. Ownership & Execution You take full ownership of outcomes, not just outputs. You ship, measure, iterate, and make hard calls when priorities conflict.
Qualifications 6+ years in product management, with at least 2 years on B2B or B2G platforms Experience shipping software used by government agencies, regulated industries, or enterprise customers Track record of defining product strategy and delivering against it in fast-moving environments Strong written and verbal communication — you can write a clear spec and present to a state CIO Comfortable working autonomously on a small, remote team Willingness to travel occasionally for state meetings, user research, and industry events
