Job Summary
Dassian is seeking a Product Manager to own the strategy, roadmap, and delivery of SAP-based product offerings, with strong preference for candidates who bring domain experience in the Aerospace & Defense (A&D) industry.

Job Description
Key Responsibilities
Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for several SAP-integrated product lines, aligning with Dassian company goals, evolving technology, and A&D market/customer demand.
Gather and prioritize requirements from customers and internal stakeholders to define product features.
Translate business and regulatory requirements (e.g., FAR, CMMC, DCAA/DCMA audit needs) into clear product requirements and user stories for engineering teams.
Partner with engineering, SAP functional consultants, and UX to plan and deliver releases on SAP S/4HANA, SAP BAIP, or related SAP technology stacks.
Manage the product backlog, write and refine epics/user stories, and participate in sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives with development teams.
Define and track success metrics (adoption, performance, customer satisfaction) for each release; use data to guide iteration.
Serve as the internal subject-matter expert on A&D industry workflows (contract management, earned value management, government property, cost accounting standards) as they relate to product features.
Engage directly with customers and prospects — demos, discovery calls, advisory boards — to validate product-market fit and gather feedback.
Coordinate go-to-market activities with sales, marketing, and customer success, including positioning, messaging, and enablement materials.
Monitor SAP roadmap changes (e.g., S/4HANA innovations, SAP Business Data Cloud, Business AI/Joule) and assess impact on product strategy.
Manage relationships with SAP as a technology partner where relevant (partner programs, co-innovation, certification requirements).
Required Qualifications

Working knowledge of SAP data structures, transaction flows, and integration patterns sufficient to have informed conversations with engineering and consulting teams.

Strong stakeholder management skills — able to balance customer requests, engineering constraints, and business priorities.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience presenting to executive and customer audiences.
Preferred Qualifications
Direct experience in the Aerospace & Defense industry as a practitioner, consultant, or product manager serving A&D customers.
Familiarity with government contracting compliance frameworks relevant to A&D (FAR/DFARS, CMMC, ITAR/EAR, earned value management, cost accounting standards).
Experience with SAP modules commonly used in A&D program and contract management (e.g., project systems, contract/funds management, government property, cost/revenue recognition).
