Staff Product Manager, Strategy

Bellese Technologies is looking for an experienced vision-focused Staff Product Manager to lead strategy for one of our distributed teams that support the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) federal agency. 

As a Staff Product Manager at Bellese, you are a recognized authority in product management, agile delivery, and digital services — setting long-term vision, shaping strategy in partnership with executive stakeholders, and translating high-level goals into roadmaps that drive meaningful outcomes for clients and the communities they serve. You have a deep understanding of the contracting landscape, including how policy, compliance, and procurement shape product decisions. You lead by example rather than authority, mentoring product staff, driving cross-team collaboration, and representing Bellese's product philosophy with clients and the broader civic tech community. Beyond contract delivery, you are a business leader — identifying opportunities for organic growth within your program, supporting company-wide business development initiatives, and partnering with senior Product leaders across the company to continuously elevate the product management practice.

The ideal candidate brings a rare blend of strategic depth, collaborative instinct, and civic purpose. You thrive in the ambiguity of consulting and bring a systems-thinking mindset to every challenge - finding opportunity in every engagement to challenge the status quo and leave things better than you found them. You are equally comfortable in executive conversations and cross-functional team workshops, with a proven ability to align stakeholders toward a shared vision — always with the user at the center. You bring at least 3 years of experience at the Staff level or equivalent and a strong command of horizon three strategy; this is not a delivery role. Experience in the public sector, federal consulting, or a highly regulated industry is a strong plus, as is a background in digital healthcare technology and a passion for mentoring others. If you're driven to shape how technology and policy work together to advance digital services, Bellese is the right place for you.
