Northrop Grumman Space Systems-Missile Defense Integration offers an excellent opportunity for a Staff Agile Product Owner - BM/SRM Product Owner (26-003) to join our team of talented and diverse professionals.

This position does not provide relocation assistance and requires on-site work with no remote options.

Position Overview:

The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program is a key component of the Missile Defense System. It is a vital operational system that enables the U.S. president, the secretary of defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels to plan ballistic missile defense operations systematically, monitor the battle collectively, and dynamically control networked sensors and weapon systems to achieve global and regional mission goals. C2BMC supports layered missile defense capabilities that enable an optimized response to threats across all ranges and flight phases. It serves as a force multiplier by networking, integrating, and synchronizing autonomous sensor and weapon systems and operations globally and regionally to improve performance. C2BMC is essential for all ground and flight tests that verify and demonstrate current and future missile defense system capabilities.

  • Drive Incremental Value Delivery - Translate stakeholder needs into small, testable increments; validate that each increment meets the Definition of Done and delivers measurable value to the customer
  • Stakeholder Alignment & Expectation Management - Establish transparent, cadence-based communication channels to keep government, internal customers, and leadership aligned on priorities, trade-offs, and progress
  • Monitor and Report Progress - Use Agile metrics (velocity, burn-up/burn-down) and Earned Value Management (EV) data to provide transparent status updates to leadership and surface risks early
  • Coordinate Cross-Team Dependencies - Identify, negotiate, and manage dependencies across multiple task orders and ARTs to ensure smooth integration and release execution
  • Develop Estimates & Basis of Estimates (BOEs) - Produce high-confidence effort estimates and BOEs for task instructions and RFPs, leveraging historical velocity and team capacity data
